Father, do you have any more information about The Friends, e.g. a weblink?
I have asked the friends to let me know if they set up a website.
Thank you very much, Father; best wishes.
Thanks for this news Fr Tim. Do you have any further information about the programme for Saturday? Should we just turn up for Mass at 11.45 or do we need to book places?
Sounds like this is an event not to be missed!
God Bless.
There was no information about booking places, George, so I think it is safe to say that you can just turn up.
Saturday 10 Oct is a dilemma day with the Day with Mary also on in the Cathedral as well as the Rosary Crusade in the afternoon....
(sigh) Why doesn't this kind of thing happen in California?
Colmcille2 says "Saturday 10 Oct is a dilemma day with the Day with Mary also on in the Cathedral as well as the Rosary Crusade in the afternoon...."
Colmcille2 please add to that busy Catholic week-end the veneration of the Holy relics of St Therese at Aylesford Priory.
AND to top it all the Holy Father is visiting the UK next year.
WOW!!! Something is really happening in England! A new breath of real orthodox spiritual renewal is moving through this 'green and pleasant land'! Raymond DeSouza alluded to this in a talk he gave some months ago at Our Lady of the Rosary Parish. OK, so I'm optimistic - it's called Christian Hope!
Please let's keep the fires of Hope burning... make sure the Prayer for England is recited daily even if it's just a few of us.
