Hi Maureen I was brought up just facing the Moneste ry and all my friends went there I did with them but wasn't a cat lick To me it was/is the best church ever and I am so glad it is being restored.

HI Linda, Had to laugh when you said ( cat lick) knew that name very well. I had a friend who lived in the street behind the house's facing the monastery and would stop there every morning to meet up with her before going into school.. I have been reading all I can get my hands on about the monestery. , maureen,
