Brightlights 2012รพ - Bookings Open
Friday 29th June to Monday the 2nd July
Aylesford Priory
It is that time of the year again when bookings are open for this year's Brightlights festival which is taking place from Friday 29th June to Monday the 2nd July at the historic Aylesford Priory, home to the Carmelite friars, 40 mins from London.
This year's theme is '12', focusing on discipleship. Starting with the feast of St Peter & St Paul on Friday, we aim to explore what it means to be a disciple today so that after attending the festival you will leave with "ears that hear (and) eyes that see." (Proverbs 20:12).
To help us with this aim we have arranged what we hope is a stimulating, challenging and inspiring program. This includes guest speakers Marguerite Barankitse, who survived the Burundi civil war where she set up a children's shelter called 'Maison Shalom' that now looks after around 20,000 war orphans, and theologian Fr. Tim Menzieswho will provide insight into how we can remain true to our faith in often challenging circumstances.
There will be inspiring and practical workshops and seminars run by groups like Catholic voices, SPEC and Verbum Dei and opportunities to experience liturgies, daily mass and reconciliation with hundreds of other young catholic adults.
On top of this we have a fantastic music line up with bands like Indecisive who recently played at Wembley and the o2, drama from Rise, a catholic theatre company, not to mention our hog roast, BBQ and camping field giving us our unique festival atmosphere. All this will take place at Aylesford priory which offers participants not only the opportunity to meet with the resident Carmelite friars but also to experience the peace of the beautiful priory grounds.

Nightfever London
Saturday 16th June
St Patrick’s, Soho Square
Yet again, gentle candlelight and stirring music will fill the parish of St Patrick´s in Soho on a Saturday evening. Passersby will be invited into the church to light a candle. They may be in the church for just a minute or two. In that time they will have an opportunity to be in the Lord's presence, experience beautiful music and Christian fellowship.
After 6pm Mass, there will be an opportunity for adoration, prayer, singing, confession, and to talk to people happy to share the faith. We invite you to come and see.
NIGHTFEVER is an initiative of young Christians who want to pass on the joy that they have experienced themselves. Inviting people to encounter God's love through street evangelisation, Adoration, Reconciliation, music & testimonies. Nightfever started right after the World Youth Day 2005 (Cologne/Germany) as a regular evening of adoration, worship and has led many people to encounters with Christ.
Nightfever is run by young people, students and professionals from different faculties, churches, seminaries, spiritual communities and orders. Everyone using their own gifts, talents, resources and capabilities for the service of Christ. This is how we live and celebrate unity in diversity. The evening begins with Mass, after which the Blessed Sacrament is exposed until the end of the evening. Teams of people then venture out on to the streets of London to share their faith with them and gently invite them to come into the Church, even just to light a candle for a prayer intention they have. Once inside, people can just sit quietly and listen to the music which will be playing throughout the evening, they can bring a candle before the Blessed Sacrament, leave their intentions in the 'worry box' at the altar, take a Word of God from the 'joy box' & even receive the Sacrament of Reconcilation if they decide to make that step. It is a very gentle evangelisation evening, meeting people where they are and inviting them to take a little step towards God.
Today, Nightfever is run on a regular basis in over 30 German cities and in various countries.
Please do come along & join in this mission in which ever way you feel able, even if you are just praying in the Church your presence & prayers are invaluable!
