Seconded to the parish of Tililngdon, the Reverend Dolores has been presented with a challenge.

She’s living in an antiquated house and she’s cold. Furthermore, her new Bishop, Bishop Alice does not approve of ‘showgirls in dog collars.’

Determined to prove the Bishop wrong, she sets about warming her house – who cares if it smells of horse! There is the crochet club, jumble sale, and soup run to organise. And this year, the church bells will ring, no matter what threats are made. Even more so, the newly formed choir will spread a little joy this Christmas, even though they can’t sing – yet! And with a little help from Phil, her bassist, this year could be full of magic.

However, she has a fight on her hands as the townies out in Knob Hill – she must stop calling it that, are trying to stop her from ringing her bells. When Krystal with a K decides to do some volunteer work, Dolores sets out to see just how committed she really is.

Up to her ears in granny squares and squawking choristers, Dolores is revving up for Christmas, yet a deeper darker secret is beginning to emerge!

A secret that could blow the whole parish apart and put Dolores in danger.

Due to the high Covid numbers, the Health System is incapable of tracking and tracing the cases. The Government decided to move some of the burden of this work to an app (in Portuguese) online: https://s-alerta.pt/CIDADAO/index.cfm

Once a person has tested positive, this app can be used to denounce other persons who might be positive. The site can give out a document for the employer to justify the absence at work. It can then also be accessed to obtain a document that the person is declared healthy after isolation.

Trying to stem the wave…
