member of Our Lady Of The Rosary R C Church. His poem The Temporary Organist
has been published in Spiritual Words; an anthology of religious poetry.
Terry presented Father Tom McHale with the cheque for £250 to add to church
funds. "I was speechless when I was told I had won; the poem I wrote
is based on a true story," explained Terry.
Terry submitted his poem for this free competition run by United Press and
he received ten free copies of Spiritual Words and the publishers also
donated ten copies to the church.
