Reaps golden harvest with

A FRIEND once said of Clitheroe pen sioner Miss Kitty Pye: “She is the dearest, sweetest and most unassum ing lady I have ever
For over 70 years, Miss Pye lias centred her life around St Mary Magda lene Church and now a collection of her reminis cences has been pub lished in “Kitty’s Har vest,” a book which is sure to stir some golden memories of Clitheroe Parish Church.

In “Kitty’s Harvest,” Miss Pye describes her devo tional life from her early visits to the church — when Sunday School attendance was a way of life, with many children attending both in the morning and in the afternoon — to her 44 y ea rs as a Sunday School te ach er and superintendent, from the age of 16 to her retirement in 1977.

Miss Pye also describes the visit to the church in 1966 of Brother Ronald, a Franciscan monk, who organised a Mission for Children, the purpose of which was to “get the children involved in what is good and their p a r e n t s w i l l be grateful."
Nowadays, although she regrets that there are not as many servies as there once were, Miss

last Whitsuntide pro cession from the church in 1987.
Pye is heartened by the continuing large atten dances at the church.
However, she does have one secret which may
come as a surprise to all those who know her as Kitty, for her real name is Ethel. Miss Pye explains: “When I was very young, Ethel just didn’t seem to suit me and it was a neighbour who one day called me ‘Little Miss Kitty,’ so that’s what I became.
“I don’t mind, but some times I have wished I had a posher name. My mother said she should have called me Abigail, after her sister.”
Copies of “Kitty’s Har vest” are available from the church office. For more details, contact parish secretary Mrs Rosemary Dixon (Clith eroe 22828). All pro ceeds from sales will be donated to the church.
