Steward Training

No, they're not queuing to see the relics already - there are still nine days to go until St Thérèse arrives in Lancaster. The people here are all volunteers who came to the Cathedral this afternoon for a training session for the visit of the relics. A great crowd of stewards is needed, not to mention the people who will provide around the clock refreshments. It's a big operation!

After a session talking about some of the practicalities and plans for visit, the volunteers took a guided walk around the whole Cathedral site, to get a sense of how all the different spaces will be used. We are grateful to all who have volunteered to help. Some people were unable to attend the training session, but are still most welcome to help out during the visit. If you're interested in helping, please contact us and we can send you some information.
