SPECIAL THANKS – to all those who con­trib­uted to last week’s Patron­al Fest­iv­al and Con­firm­a­tion ser­vice.  What a joy­ful cel­eb­ra­tion it was.  Heart­felt thanks to the Chiew fam­ily for their gen­er­ous pro­vi­sion of the sump­tu­ous fest­ive meal and Fabi­an for his music­al accom­pani­ment.  I’m sure the Bish­op saw in St Luke’s a strong and com­mit­ted parish.

Sat 5 Nov 2022 — St’Anmoré Music Fest­iv­al Walk - start­ing at 12pm

Place:  meet at the Church car park to walk to Stanmore

Weath­er:  come pre­pared, as the walk will pro­ceed “rain, hail or shine.”

On Sat­urday, 5 Novem­ber 2022, Stanmore’s streets will come alive with the sound of music.  The St’Anmoré Music Fest­iv­al was cre­ated in hon­our of the late Richard Gill AO, the renowned Aus­trali­an musi­cian, con­duct­or, and edu­cat­or who lived in Stan­more, a few minutes away from the Church.  He had a vis­ion to hold an annu­al event to bring music to the streets.  Richard Gill died in 2018 and the Fest­iv­al was first held in 2019.  It returns this year after a pan­dem­ic silence.

Brett is organ­ising a walk to explore the Fest­iv­al this year.  Please con­tact Brett by 30 Octo­ber 2022 if you would like to join the walk.

Fur­ther inform­a­tion about the Fest­iv­al pro­gramme, stages, loc­a­tions, music styles and per­formers, is avail­able at the attached link: https://stanmoremusicfestival.com/
