Sr Valery Walker is organising another Study Weekend for young adults from Friday evening 12 March to midday on Sunday 14 March. This will be a reflective study on the subject of Calvary and the Mass, with special reference to the work of St Thomas Aquinas. Talks will be given by Fr Thomas Crean OP and discussion with Sr Valery Walker OP.
The weekend will be held at St Dominic's Convent, Station Road, Stone, Stafforshire, ST15 8EN. The
suggested donation is £25. To book a place, email
Sr Valery Walker.
(There will be a similar weekend after Easter, April 16th-18th. Priest and topic to be arranged.)

fr Thomas is pious and funny as well as learn-ed, the sisters are LOVELY, the convent atmospheric C19 neo-Gothic with a beautiful church (and a rather nice organ in the choir), Bl. Dominic Barberi's chapel is in the garden, ... what are you waiting for, people?
:D
"so the intellectual assault of modernism is countered by devotion to the human and divine wisdom of Christ.
That's admirable. But, without any disrepect, doesn't "Devotion to the Sacred Head" sound a bit ghoulish?
Perhaps my reserve is because I've seen too many dreadful statues of the Sacred Heart.
We already have the hymn "O sacred head ill used" and the crowning with thorns as a mystery of the rosary so I think it is not at odds with existing devotion.
