It was a real delight to share in this special service with Sue&#8217;s family and friends from all over the country and we were all made to feel very welcome.  Newport Cathedral, St Woolos is a beautiful light and ancient building that was full of amazing flower displays as the week preceding had been a flower festival.  The service itself was a real celebration of Sue&#8217;s achievements with reflections of her time at Houghton alongside welcoming her warmly into her new post.  There were lots of good conversations during the refreshments following the service and some of us were able to gather the following day for a celebration lunch.<img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/stmichaels-hls.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/36755320_932688016903615_7229783866003685376_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"960\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4380 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/stmichaels-hls.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/36755320_932688016903615_7229783866003685376_n.jpg 960w, https:\/\/stmichaels-hls.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/36755320_932688016903615_7229783866003685376_n-180x180.jpg 180w, https:\/\/stmichaels-hls.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/36755320_932688016903615_7229783866003685376_n-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/stmichaels-hls.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/36755320_932688016903615_7229783866003685376_n-768x768.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 960px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 960\/960;\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/stmichaels-hls.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/36824581_10216661067820266_2849045832584396800_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"940\" height=\"564\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-4381 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/stmichaels-hls.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/36824581_10216661067820266_2849045832584396800_n.jpg 960w, https:\/\/stmichaels-hls.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/36824581_10216661067820266_2849045832584396800_n-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/stmichaels-hls.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/36824581_10216661067820266_2849045832584396800_n-768x461.jpg 768w, https:\/\/stmichaels-hls.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/36824581_10216661067820266_2849045832584396800_n-500x300.jpg 500w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 940px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 940\/564;\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/stmichaels-hls.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/36860757_2181313682105415_7397263409881808896_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"960\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-4382 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/stmichaels-hls.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/36860757_2181313682105415_7397263409881808896_n.jpg 720w, https:\/\/stmichaels-hls.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/36860757_2181313682105415_7397263409881808896_n-225x300.jpg 225w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 720px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 720\/960;\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/stmichaels-hls.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/36880687_2181313642105419_6291879552494862336_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"960\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-4383 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/stmichaels-hls.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/36880687_2181313642105419_6291879552494862336_n.jpg 720w, https:\/\/stmichaels-hls.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/36880687_2181313642105419_6291879552494862336_n-225x300.jpg 225w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 720px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 720\/960;\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Saturday 7th July some intrepid members of St Michael&#8217;s congregation attended a wonderful service held at Newport Cathedral, having navigated a rather sweltering 6+ hours trip from Houghton.
