Mum and I to Confession yesterday, and to Holy Communion this morning.

((Most of the RC priests were American - Maryknoll Fathers, and there was one young Canadian priest, Father Murphy. Confessions were heard  on Saturdays in the billet of two of the Fathers – an ex-amah's room. During the week Confessions were also heard before a short morning Mass in the Prison Officers' Club where the priest sat sideways on a chair which had a piece of material on its back to give a semblance of privacy, before which one knelt for Confession.))
