Songs of Praise team to visit St Piran’s Oratory
7th February 2015 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
The Songs of Praise team will be at St Piran’s Oratory on Saturday 7 February, filming a service for transmission close to St Piran’s Day.
The service will be led by the Revd Caspar Bush and the Bishop of St Germans, the Rt Revd Chris Goldsmith, will preach. The Grand Bard of the Cornish Gorsedh, Maureen Fuller, will give a reading in Cornish. It is also hoped the Benediction will be sung in Cornish.
The service will begin at 2pm. Parking is at Perran Sands Holiday Park. It is a 10-minute walk over uneven dunes from the car park to the oratory, which is among the oldest Christian buildings in the country.
If the weather is wet, the filming will move to St Piran’s church, Penhallow. The Revd Caspar Bush said: “People can phone me on 01872 510044 if the weather looks dodgy, and I’ll make sure there is a message on there telling people the venue. But at the moment the forecast is pretty reasonable.”
The show is due to be shown on Sunday 1 March.
