What a sensational day we enjoyed yesterday, Monday 5^th December, Archbishop Bernard Longley travelled all the way from Birmingham to be together with Bishop Kieran Conry for the blessing and opening of The Montaigne Theatre marking the first of many celebrations in this Gala Opening week.

Suzanne Ware, Governor and Chair of the Buildings Committee, the driving force behind planning and getting the various teams together for this fantastic new theatre united with Bishop Conry for the count down and ribbon cutting ceremony.

Sisters, special guests and dignitaries were treated to a wonderful performance of “Breath on the Embers” a specially commissioned play, detailing the life of St Jeanne – our Foundress.

Company of Mary Our Lady schools around the world joined with us as this unique performance was ‘live-streamed’. 400 years of history, plus modern-technology – wow! What a day, what a night!
