Prayer Vigil for Life

Friday 4th – Saturday 5th May 2018

The ‘Prayer Vigil for Life’ is endorsed by the organisers of the ‘March for Life UK’, an act of pro-life witness. As this is the first time the March comes to London, the Dominicans have decided to contribute to this event by organising a Prayer Vigil.

The Vigil will begin with an Opening Mass, and will continue through the night with a Eucharistic Procession and Rosary, music performed by young people, presentations, and silent Adoration. On Saturday there will be the chance to witness to the joy of the Gospel of Life on the streets of London. For more information please visit http://rosaryshrine.co.uk/calendar/.

Synod Report

The Report on Youth, Faith and Vocational Discernment is now available to order. The report has been written by the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales in response to a worldwide consultation that is taking place in preparation for the Synod of the same name that is to take place in October 2018.

This report is aimed at those who work with and care for young people and aims to inspire conversation that will lead to new approaches in helping young people to hear God’s call.

Priestly vocations in East Anglia are at their highest level in 30 years

The Diocese of East Anglia has 12 men studying for the priesthood – its highest number in 30 years.

Five men started their studies in September. They are based at six seminaries in three countries – Italy, Spain and England.

Fr Pat Cleary, vocations director, said one factor behind the rise in candidates was the priority placed on vocations by Bishop Alan Hopes, who was installed in the diocese five years ago.

GOD CALLS: New Vocations App

Listen up! Are you hearing God’s Call?

This free App is for Catholics aged 16-35 year olds. The aim? To help you go deep with God, and build solid ground with Him through prayer, through the lives of the Saints, and Scripture. This is a vital first step to discovering the joy-filled life that God has in store for you.
