Catholic Church and Shrine of St Etheldreda, Ely

Congratulations to Stella Fox, who has been nominated and has accepted The Etheldreda Medal Award, which will be presented by the Bishop of Ely, the Rt Revd. Stephen Conway, at the Evensong service at Ely Cathedral on Saturday 15 October 2022.

The Bishop of Ely awards his prestigious Etheldreda Medal to individuals who have served their community in generous and outstanding ways that would not otherwise be recognised.

We are delighted that Stella, has been recognised for all her dedication and heart she puts into all the volunteering work in the Parish and the wider community in the UK and abroad.

We hope that many will be able to join her at the Evensong at the Ely Cathedral on 15 October.

The Etheldreda Medal has been commissioned by the Bishop of Ely and has been designed by Jonathan Clarke to incorporate the image of his magnificent ‘Way of Life’ sculpture which captivates and inspires so many visitors to the Cathedral.

Each medal is inscribed with the name of the recipient and the date of the award.

After a 3 year gap the social event of the year returned on Sunday 22nd August! Lots of people came to celebrate its return, to make new friends, reconnect with old ones and to enjoy fabulous weather, great food and activities. Thanks to everyone involved in organising the day and to everyone who came along.

A great day was had by all preparing the garden for the Parish BBQ. A HUGE thank you to all who were there. Keep an eye out for future dates, as we continue to improve the garden.
