‘The first time I met Cardinal Hume was in the late 1980’s when he attended our (the former Asian Chaplaincy) Fayre in the hall outside the cathedral.’

‘I had a stall of my home-made Goan delicacies (chutneys, pickles etc). The Cardinal made it a point of stopping at every stall and when he reached mine, he said how pleased he was to see the display. I then presented him with a copy of my “Goan Cookery Book” which had just been published; he thanked me and said he would give it to his Mum.’
We always enjoy hearing about how supporters met the Cardinal. If you have a story to share, please contact Aileen Stirman
