From Help Refugees’ mission statement:

“Help Refugees is not simply another aid organisation. We work where governmental and other non-governmental bodies can (or will) not, filling the gaps and providing emergency aid and vital services to those affected by the global refugee crisis. We act fast to get aid and services directly and immediately to the people who need it most by identifying the most effective grassroots groups, local people, individual volunteers and refugees themselves active in the crisis and providing them with funding and support, enabling them to focus their time and energy on the vital work they do every day. Help Refugees are also operational where needed across Europe providing our experienced teams to maintain quality services and uphold dignity for refugees.”

“For many years I have admired Idit as both a singer and a teacher of singing: she brings to all her musicmaking a lively professionalism and integrity, coupled with the gift of communication which inspires others to aspire to the same high standards. I have witnessed her in action as a teacher and have seen how quickly she can achieve positive results with committed students by pinpointing the specific areas of development relevant to each individual singer – the singers themselves are frequently surprised at the speed of their progress under Idit’s tuition. I enthusiastically recommend Idit as an exceptional teacher who commands international respect.”

Nuestra Señora de Esperanza de Macarena – Sacred Recital @ St Augustine Church
Tickets
Dec 18 @ 1:30 pm – 2:30 pm

Nuestra Señora de Esperanza de Macarena

Our Lady of Hope of Macarena

 

In such difficult times, it seems appropriate to come together in the name of Our Lady of Hope.
Her feast day is an annual celebration in Spain, taking place on December 18th.
Join us at St Augustine’s Highgate for the first ever observance of this feast outside of Spain.

Jonathan Byrd is known to many churches across London and beyond for his ‘devotional guitar’ style, drawing heavily on flamenco ‘the sacred music of Andalusia’, uniquely fused with the delicate architecture of classical composition.

This will be punctuated with readings and prayers from Rev Tim Miller of All Saints Highgate, recently appointed Priest in charge of St Augustine’s.

Admission is free and there will be a place for donations, should you wish.

Please be seated by 1:30pm. This sacred recital is expected to last no more than an hour.
