Through falling Autumn leaves...

...to a meeting of the Board of Aid to the Church in Need at Brompton Oratory. Hugely successful conference on religious freedom - publicity re Ann Widdecombe's excellent speech still reverberating. Discussion on all sorts of current projects: this is now a major Catholic charity in Britain and we are blessed with an excellent team headed by Neville Kyrke-Smith, working with energy and competence. It funds projects around the world where Christians are impoverished or persecuted, unites people in prayer, acts as a source of reliable news and information. Sales of Christmas cards and gifts already brisk. Planning ahead: a pilgrimage to Walsingham on Sat April 28th next year, coach departing from London.

ACN will be among the many Catholic groups at the Towards Advent Festival on Sat Nov 19th at Westminster Cathedral Hall.There's a feature about this Festival in the ADOREMUS BULLETIN, published in the USA: you can read it here along with a number of other interesting features on liturgy, prayer, and related subjects...

So much going on in London! "Oh to be in London, now that Fall is here!". Still enjoying your blog Auntie Joanna, and I just ordered a copy of "Feasts and Seasons" which should be here in time for Advent.
