Auntie's plans...


...for the next few days include a visit to the FAITH Movement Summer Session, and a talk at the Evangelium conference. Then to Bury St Edmunds, to join the team of pilgrims walking to Walsingham on the John Paul II Walking Pilgrimage.  This Pilgrimage is in prayer for the New Evangelisation. Our country is thirsting for truth. We are called to deep prayer and to witness to the Gospel...

The old Abbey at Bury St Edmunds is the place where Magna Carta was first drawn up. King John in due course signed it at Runnymede Island. The Abbey was destroyed centuries later under Henry VIII. We will be having Mass in its picturesque ruins. The celebrant will be a young newly-ordained priest, Father Henry Whisenant, who has been a faithful pilgrim on the John Paul II Walk in previous years.

Magna Carta begins with a strong message "that the English Church should be free".
