BIG MOMENT: Choirboy Tim Bowen

Choirboy Tim Bowen almost had to miss his big moment, performing a solo to a full house at the packed St Mary’s Cathedral Mass to honour the elevation of Archbishop George Pell to the College of Cardinals.

A few days earlier, the 13-year-old slipped and hit his head on a rock while crossing a creek near his home in Wollongong.

“There was plenty of blood and I suffered a slight concussion,” says Tim. “But I didn’t have to get any stitches.”

And there was no way the accident was going to stop him performing at the Mass.

Tim sang the psalm, I will sing forever of the goodness of the Lord, and according to St Mary’s Cathedral Choir director, Elizabeth Swain, delivered “a moving performance”.

Tim has been in the choir for four years.
