RIBCHESTER International


night The annual Interna- . tional Night dinner held in Ribchester Village Hall was attended by a ca­ pacity number of diners.

He was a courageous and outstanding fig­ ure of his time with great perseverance and strongly held convictions. He was a great missionary, but. made many powerful enemies in the process. On two occasions, he travelled to Rome, a two-year journey at that time, to carry a law-suit success­ fully out to the Vati­ can courts. He died in 710 on another


journey, but sadly, there is no record of him ever having vis­ ited Ribchester.
