On Sunday September 23, the people of St. Andrew's were preparing for an important visitor.

Prince William, the heir to the throne, was due to make a public appearance for the press before beginning his university career in this small, ancient Scottish town. There was great excitement - hours before the official appearance groups of young girls were beginning to appear behind the barricades.

The University of St. Andrew's had experienced a rise of some 49% in applications, many from young women from the USA. A week after all this excitement another beginning occurred in St. Andrew's almost at the same spot. Unnoticed by the media and most of the inhabitants, a new church was begun.
