Wednesday 30 of July

1) Corpus Christi prayer group
2) Youth 2000 Prayer Festival Walsingham 
3) NFP course 
4) Downing St Petition re the Christians in Mosul

 
1) Wednesday July 30, 7pm: Corpus Christi Prayer Group, Corpus Christi Catholic Church, Maiden Lane

We are meeting as usual from 7pm to say the Rosary and this will be followed by prayer and adoration accompanied by a terrific musical ensemble who are praying twice. Come and join us for some social time in the Coal Hole pub afterwards.

We will be breaking the last two weeks of August.


2) August 21-Sat August 25, Youth 2000 prayer festival - The Journey@Walsingham 

The brilliant Fiona Mansford may be stepping down as MD, but before departs to do other great work, get your rosaries at the ready and head to the national Marian shrine of Walsingham for Youth 2000's annual five-day prayer festival. This year is the 25th anniversary. So many young lives have been transformed through the ministry and are spreading truth and joy today as a result. Accommodation is a tent in a field and all you need is a sleeping bag, some warm clothes, a torch and a bible. There will be a programme of adoration, speakers, workshops, healing and reconciliation services. The rest is down to you and Our Lord in this sacred place.
Find out more at: www.youth2000.org (just been on the website and it's very impressive).

3) Natural Family Planning course 

For those who would like to know more about how to increase the chances of and/or avoid pregnancy using the physical means that God has built into human nature and which are sanctioned by the Church, please see details of a home study NFP course. Natural Family Planning: The Complete Approach by John and Sheila Kippley can be accessed athttp://www.nfpandmore.org/ 


4) Downing St petition to help Christians in Mosul

The Christians in Mosul, northern Iraq, have fled under pain of death from ISIS and some have already been martyred at the hands of the extremists, so please take a moment to click on the following e-petition http://epetitions.direct.gov.uk/petitions/67803. to hopefully persuade David Cameron that we are still a Christian country and that he ought to try do more to help them; and at least show leadership and raise awareness by not remaining silent.

Healing Service Wednesday 16 July

1) Healing Service at Corpus Christi Prayer Group
2)  Pilgrimage to Medjugorje
3)  Evangelium Conference 

 
1) Wednesday July 16, 7pm: Corpus Christi Prayer Group, Corpus Christi Catholic Church, Maiden Lane

We are meeting as usual from 7pm to say the Rosary and this is followed by a healing service to be conducted by Fr Angelus. Come and join us for some social time in the Coal Hole pub afterwards.


2) Pilgrimage to Medjugorje, July 31-August 6

I'm reposting this to encourage 'young' Catholics to join 50,000 others at Medjugorje later this month for the Medjugorje youth prayer festival for an opportunity to get to know Our Lady; many people who have come here have found it a very inspiring place. Jonathan Baylis is organising a pilgrimage to the festival. If you haven't been to Medugorje, it's highly recommended and many blessings come from a visit. The pilgrimage costs £475 including flights, accommodation, breakfast and dinner. There are still places available. For more info call John on 01423 546 175

3) Evangelium Conference, August 1-3, the Oratory School, Oxfordshire

If you are ever brave enough to engage with an aggressive secularist on why the Catholic Church is the answer to the problems of humanity, Evangelium will empower you to provide answers. It will also be a great fun and relaxing weekend. Evangelium is an initiative that aims to explain the Catholic faith in the context of the modern world. It is a series of talks and workshops spread out over a weekend in the glorious surroundings of the Oratory School near Reading. One of the really fun things about it is that it is really varied spiritual and cultural exploration of the Faith and the social programme will hopefully cater for all tastes.  
 
That's all folks,

Damian
