Manchester Art Gallery
'We started with some lunch in the cafe which was really nice. Plenty of choice including soup, sandwiches and traditional hotpot.
A good chance to have a chat and catch up with friends. After that we went to have a look at the exhibitions. There were some fascinating pieces including textiles, sculptures and paintings from a wide range of artists to explore. Lots of different influences were
on show with different historical backgrounds and contributions from a local school. A really interesting and enjoyable day'. Liane

After this was a chance for adoration and quiet reflection. A welcome opportunity in a sometimes very hectic world to focus a little. Mass was a lovely peaceful affair that everyone contributed to by choosing hymns, reading and joining in the celebration'. Liane |
