In mid November of 2023, just before his final admission into hospital, Fr John edited the typed pages of the finished layout ready for publishing. This file (and several backups) travelled safely with Watermead through its various moves to our re-location and now the work on design, artwork, further edits and proof-reading is complete and the book will be published on 19th May 2026, which would have been Fr John's 91st birthday.
