take their seats.  With a very warm welcome by the Rector of Hexham Abbey, Reverend David Glover, ably assisted by the Provincial Prelate, Reverand Leslie Dinning, led what was to be a richly uplifting and inspiring Golden Jubilee Service.  During the Service, the congregation were treated to an outstanding recital by the Abbey\u2019s choir.  In part, they sang specially prepared 14th\u00a0century compositions which were befitting the historical nature of the Order. For the first time in the Province\u2019s history,  the Service was streamed live on YouTube enabling others to share in the special event even though unable to be

Prior stunned everyone, Grand Master included, concerned the cheque presentation. Preparing the moment with great presence and eloquence, RE Kt Kevn Stannard, a recently retired eye surgeon said,\u2028\u2028\u201cThe planning for today began many years ago and one of the questions that I and my Executive first addressed was \u201chow do we best mark an event such as a Golden Jubilee of a Provincial Priory \u2013 what can we do to make it truly meaningful?\u201d and went to say, \u201cWe would like to mark the Jubilee of the Provincial Priory with a donation to the St John Eye Hospital in Jerusalem. We spent a long time contemplating what a meaningful, but realistic, amount might be. Fifty thousand pounds, to mark fifty years of the Provincial Priory, seemed to have a nice \u201cring\u201d to it, but we knew that we only have 400 members in our Province Priory, so it was a huge \u201cask\u201d \u2026 Many of my Brother Provincial Heads of our Companion Orders have also given unwavering
