Successful sewing day in London
The Guild held another very productive day in St Mary Moorfields, London, in conjunction with a training day for the Latin Mass Society's server-training sodality, the Society of St Tarcisius.
Some long-standing projects of the Guild are nearing completion, opening the way for some exciting new undertakings.
