Guinness World Record

On Friday 24^th June St. Clare’s Abbey became one of 75 venues to attempt to break the Guinness World Record ‘Largest Reading Lesson’.

It was a lovely occasion and we are anxiously awaiting the official results.

Many thanks to Miss Duffy and Mrs McParland who helped as Stewarts and Mrs Duffy and Mrs McShane who were our official witnesses.

A morning to remember!
