Fr. Elton John Letang has been selected to say a line in the the Lord’s Prayer for Commonwealth Day service.
Each year a special service is held at Westminister Abbey to commemorate Commonwealth Day. However, because of the COVID-19 pandemic, a special programme was put in place featuring recordings from Commonwealth countries.
Fr. Letang will begin the Lord’s prayer with ‘Our Father’. He chose to record at the Cabrits National Park with a company called Secretly Dominican.
Fr. Letang said that he is happy that he was selected as submitting a recording didn’t automatically guarantee selection. The opportunity allows him to represent his country and parish.
Fr. Letang who is from Giraudel is currently serving in the parish of St.Ann.
The Commonwealth Day service will be aired on Sunday 7 March on BBC One and on the BBC’S YouTube channel at the following link: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCj956IF62FbT7Gouszaj9w/featured
