Some dates...

...for your diary. Wed May 25th - a History Walk at Westminster Cathedral. Meet you on the steps at 6.30pm, after the 5.30pm Mass. We'll be walking around the local area, ending at Holy Apostles Church - stories of Cardinal Manning, the Passage, and the Blitz. Come and discover Pimlico!

Thursday, May 26th - join us at Balham for a viewing of a wonderful film of Blessed John Paul II.We'll be at Visitation House, next to Holy Ghost Church, at 7.30pm. You won't want to miss this film - come and celebrate the Church's newest Beatus, bring your own John Paul story, and relax in a convivial atmosphere with some agreeable refreshments. We're inviting donations, £3 per head, and funds raised will go to the Maryvale Institute.

And mark this date for June: InVocation at Birmingham. Auntie will be looking in, and it sounds wonderful - take a look at the website.

And/or: join us on Sunday June 19th in London for the Martyrs' Walk - 1.30pm for 2pm at St Sepulchre's churchyard, opposite the Old Bailey.

This event at Maryvale also looks to be very interesting and of some importance:

Same weekend as Invocation, so maybe possible to combine both?

Great minds think alike! I am going to the lecture at Maryvale AND to InVocation - the candlelit vigil at InVocation is too good to miss, and will be a wonderful follow-up to an inspiiring afternoon at Maryvale...

Are Anglicans welcome on the Martyrs' Walk? I'm not Catholic but have an interest in church history and have visited the Tyburn convent.

OF COURSE Anglicans are welcome! And we will be remembering in prayer ALL who lost their lives through the turmoil of the Reformation years, and praying for goodwill and co-operation between all Christians in the years to come. We always make a stop at the lovely church of St Giles-in-the-Fields, where we are made most welcome. Please do join us for the Walk - and make yourself known to me either en route or when we get to Tyburn Convent...
