A picture of St John Paul the Great...

...blessed by Mgr Keith Newton at the TOWARDS ADVENT Festival, will now be given to a Catholic residential home for the elderly.  Once a year, it will leave there, and be carried on the John Paul Walking Pilgrimage to Walsingham, which in 2015 marks its 10th anniversary. The Pilgrimage is organised by the Dominican Sisters of St Joseph.

I am about to take the picture, which is an embroidered one with the embroiderer's signature on the back, to the Home...

Those who attended the TOWARDS ADVENT Festival may remember the two very charming children who brought it forward to be blessed, and the solemn and reverent way that they stood holding it as the beautiful prayer was said...a very special moment.
