TOWARDS ADVENT 2011

...plans are now well advanced, and material about this annual celebration of Catholic life and culture will be going to parishes soon.

COME ALONG AND JOIN IN! The date is Saturday November 19th, and the venue Westminster Cathedral Hall, London SW1.

The main guest speaker this year is Mgr Keith Newton of the Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham.

There will be stalls and displays by a wide variety of Catholic groups and organisations: charities working at home and abroad, caring for children in India, for persecuted Christians in lands where the Church is not free, for struggling families, for unborn children under threat of abortion,for young people seeking faith. There will be bookstalls and craft stalls, home-baked cakes and hand-crafted jewellry, rosaries and DVDs and tapes.

It's an opportunity to engage with the Catholic Faith - to be challenged, to find out about glorious Church music, how to teach the truths of the Catholic Faith to the young, how to defend and uphold great moral truths, and more...

Admission is free. Just come along and enjoy. Official opening 10.30am with the Archbishop of Westminster and the Gallery Choir of the famed Westminster Cathedral Choir School.

HOw to get there? Nerest tube stations are VICTORIA or St James Park.

  1. I would heartily recommend Towards Advent to anyone able to get to London. Unfortunately circumstances no longer allow me to make it but I'm sure it will be a great success as always.

    By the way, Auntie, are not congratulations in order today?
