Men are invited to a weekend that will speak to the masculine heart and take you on a journey into all that God has prepared for you as a man. The weekend course has been devised by the Cor et Lumen communiy at its base in Wigton in the Lake District.

4) Day of prayer for persecuted Christians in Iraq

Church leaders in Iraq have selected this coming Sunday August 9 as a day of prayer for an end to the violent persecution that threatens to extinguish the ancient Iraqi Christian community. The Right Rev Declan Lang, Bishop of Clifton and Chairman of the International Affairs Dept of Catholic Bishops' conference of England and Wales is calling for UK Catholics to make a donation to Aid to the Church in Need, which is offering emergency and pastoral support to the Christians of Mosul.

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.

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.

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,

This gives you the chance to gather in the bar for a drinks reception from 8pm, participate in the talent auction from around 8.30pm and hit the dance floor from 9pm, until late. There will also be a chance to watch the England v Italy World Cup game in the Glenn Miller Hotel Bar & Drinks Reception area live from 11pm.

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
