TEACHING CHRIST THROUGH ART :
An audio/visual presentation with Lionel Gracey.

Lionel Gracey graduated in medicine at Cambridge University, and completed postgraduate studies at Harvard. He was Consultant Surgeon to the Royal Free Hospital, University of London, from 1966-91. Following retirement, he obtained a pontifical degree in theology from the Maryvale Institute, Birmingham, where he is currently a Lecturer in Religious Art.

LEARNING GREGORIAN CHANT:
Children can benefit from the relaxation and peace that chant brings

Jeremy de Satgé had an early musical training as a chorister in Sheffield Cathedral Choir. Later, he sang bass in Clifton Cathedral Choir and decided to concentrate his efforts on music full time, enrolling at Trinity College of Music, London graduating in 1987 with a Singing (with teaching) Licentiate Diploma (LTCL) and the Fellowship Diploma (FTCL) in singing performance.

This Study day is aimed at teachers in Catholic primary schools, but we have a limited number of places available for others, e.g. leaders of children’s liturgy groups, First Communion classes etc. Contact us!

This comment is going to be off your topic Joanna, I apologize. But here in the US we have a contentious debate on abortion that goes on. Someone from UK on a forum I participate on said that abortion is not an issue there. He doesn't understand the American passion on the issue. I don't know if you've ever posted on the issue, but I was wondering how abortion is regarded in England, especially from a British Catholic. Would it be too much to ask if you can post on it one day?
