Santa arrived early at the Church of the Immaculate Conception in
Stroud, bursting in unexpectedly on the Deanery Dinner much to the
amusement of Bishop Declan, ten Priests of the Deanery and three
Deacons and their wives. Even the Dean, Father David Ryan had been kept
in the dark as to the impending visit to the clergy deanery annual
lunch.
