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,

June 18

We will be having rosary and deep reflective prayer this coming Wednesday to prepare us for the feast of Coprus Christi this coming Sunday. As per usual we’ll go to the Coal Hole afterwards for drinks and socializing.

Other news is that our very own Andy Chamiec, will be ordained into the Priesthood on the 28th of June. Our prayer group is invited to the ordination that will be at the Metropolitan Cathedral of the Most Precious Blood, Victoria Street London, SW1P 1QW (Westminster Cathedral) at 10.30 am.


See you on Wednesday,
God bless
Simone

June 11

Hope you enjoyed a relaxing weekend basking in the sunshine. This coming week is Spirit in the City and we will have our usual prayer group at Corpus Christi to intercede for the event and particularly for all the evangelisation initiatives that will be taking place on the streets of Central London. Sister Cristina has shown us the way forward by winning the Italian Voice while at the same time showing the world how beautiful it is to be a Catholic.

God bless always,

Damian

Ten Ten Christian theatre company: This is My Body, June 20-21, Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church, N11 1AA

Ten Ten Theatre's latest play, This is my body, is a one-woman play about human trafficking. It tells the story of a woman who is coming to terms with being a victim of trafficking in the UK. The play is timely because the Modern Slavery Bill is going through Parliament this year but will only go some of the way to dealing with this terrible scourge on the modern world. Awareness needs to be raised. Performances will be given at Ten Ten's base in the parish hall of Our Lady of Lourdes, New Southgate, North London on Friday 20 June and Saturday 21 June. It will be performed by the Polish actress Agata Jarosz. Due to lack of funding, these may be the only performances.Tickets are £10 each and can be booked at tententheatre.co.uk/whatson/this-is-my-body

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

If you are on the lookout for a summer mini-break, then the Evangelium course could be a great way to relax and learn more about our Glorious Faith. 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. I've been on this a couple of times and can testify to the high quality of the speakers. The surroundings are very pleasant, the food in the school canteen is surprisingly good and it's a good opportunity to meet people. www.evangelium.co.uk

That's all folks

Thursday 29 May, 6.30pm-8pm Catholic Voices Academy: the Case for the Living Wage, Notre Dame University, 1 Suffolk Street, SW1Y 4HG

The next Catholic Voices meeting will tackle an important issue connected with Catholic social teaching, ie, a fair wage for a hard day's work. The Bishops' Conference of England and Wales has championed the 'Living Wage' and two speakers will talk about the issues and difficulties of being a Living Wage employer, and how to overcome them. Please note that you need to register your attendance beforehand on the link given on the attached flyer, where you can find out more. 

Mon 7  to Friday 11 July, Dominican study week on the Spirit of Catholic Theology, Buckfast Abbey

A team of Dominican friars and sisters in collaboration with the Benedictine monks of Buckfast Abbey are offering an overview of Catholic theology aimed at university students and young adults. Using the Summa Theologica of St Thomas Aquinas as a guide, talks and discussions will cover: the trinity, creation, the human person, law and grace, cardinal and theological virtues, incarnation, redemption, the Church and sacraments. What's more, the study week is set in the beautiful grounds of Buckfast Abbey on the edge of Dartmoor. If, like me, you sadly no longer come into the young adult category, then maybe you have a young friend or relative that might really benefit from this opportunity to get to know their faith better. For more information and to book contact Br Nicholas Crowe OP at studyweek (at) english.op.org.

Room to rent for a female in a four-bedroomed Christian house in Harrow, North West London for just £352 a month

We're not an estate agent, but I'm mentioning this because 1) It's well cheap 2) it's a characterful property with a sizeable garden 3) It's a nice, sociable Christian household. So, if you happen to be on the lookout for a new crib or know a woman who does, I think it's well worth checking out. Find out more from greg2 (at) lorriman.com

Finally, I would like to thank all those who prayed for me while I was in hospital recently. It all seems to have gone smoothly (arm still attached to shoulder!).

That's all folks,

We will come to him and make our dwelling with him

This Wednesday the 14th at Corpus Christi

This week we will be very blessed to have Sr Mary Trinity of SOLT come and join us and give us a talk. Sr Trinity is a very engaging and spiritually grounded raconteur, she spent 24 years in the mission in the Phiippines and has a deep devotion to Our Lady.

As it is May, the month of Our Lady, we have invited Sister to give a talk to lead our lives deeper into the heart of Mary.  Her talk is titled

Communion of the Persons in the Trinity; The Source and Goal of our lives of disciples of Jesus and Mary

As usual, we will begin with the rosary and the talk will be before the Blessed Sacrament.

--------------

Please keep our group in prayer this week for everyones personal intentions and we remember:

Damian who will be having an operation on his shoulder tomorrow. And Annette and Mike (our faithful and gifted guitarist) who are both on pilgrimage in holy places this week (Medjugorje and The Holy Land).  

See you on Wednesday

God Bless

Simone
