The 27-29 block which was the main area of the 'complex' . Unfortunately we cannot find a photo of #31 which housed the chapel and meeting rooms |
Fr Mike Targett writes (June 2012): "..I was brought back from Ghana in 1969 to be the Director of the Spiritual Year, as the novitiate was now called. In 1971, we ( Frs. Julien Papillon, Roger Labonte and I) had the sad task of preparing to leave Broome Hall and then we moved to Birkdale 1971-1972. 1972-1973 was an "empty year" ( no young men for the English-speaking Spiritual Year) but we came back again 1973-1974 before leaving Birkdale for good." |
