...are rather enthusiastic about the Holy Father's visit, and today I went to the launch of a new Internet radio station which will start broadcasting on September 14th and run throughout his days here...it was a venture which was planned to start as a Catholic radio station later in the year, but was brought forward when news of the Holy Father's visit was announced. It's the brainchild of the indefatigible Gerry Coates and you can find out more about it here.
The launch was held at the Amigo Hall, next to St George's Cathedral, Southwark. The latter has a fine stained-glass window commemorating John Paul's visit in 1982 when he anointed sick people, who were all brought to the Cathedral in great crowds, a most moving and touching scene...
I also visited the headquarters of the Catholic Truth Society, where they have been working exceptionally hard on projects connected with the Papal visit. All of us in the Association of Catholic Women are particularly grateful to the CTS which has so generously sponsored the Schools RE Project. In a couple of weeks I am off to a school in Lancashire to present some prizes...these have all been given by the CTS and include a cheque for the school, and beautiful books for the children, including the enchanting "Friendship with Jesus" which has the most beautiful pictures of Papa Benedict and the First Communion children of Rome...
