Visit of Br Merric of Taizé to the Old Friary - Tuesday, 11 March 2025, at 1 pm
We were very pleased that on the 11th March, 2025, we welcomed Brother Merric from Taize to the Old Friary for lunch to meet some members of the community, to see the Chapel and hear a little of its history. Fr Paul , Rector of Bulimba Parish,, accompanied him. A 'bring a plate' lunch provided quite a feast. There was lots of chatter, questioning and especially Br Merric sharing his journey to become a brother in Taize and what life is like in that commune in France. It was wonderful to have Br Merric among us and to pray together.
Our Taize-style services have been held on the first Sunday of each month for over thirty years and Br Merric's memorable visit will enrich our Taize prayers into the future.
