KOLBE’S GIFT:
Ten Ten Theatre, the Catholic theatre company based in this parish, is staging a production of “Kolbe’s Gift” for a week of performances at The Leicester Square Theatre in October. The play tells the story of Polish priest Fr. Maximilian Kolbe who gave his life for another man in the Auschwitz concentration camp. The run of the play is nearly sold out with over 2,500 tickets sold. However, Clare and Martin, the directors of Ten Ten, have reserved 33 tickets for parishioners of Our Lady of Lourdes on Friday 4th October. If you would like to book a ticket, please sign up with Clare or Martin outside church as you leave today. Tickets are priced at £20 stalls seats and £15 with restricted view. Payment is not required today, but reserving your ticket is essential.
