Flame 2017

On Saturday 11th March, around 10,000 people filled Wembley Arena for Flame 2017, a great celebration of the Catholic Church for youth. It was the third of its kind following popular demand after Flame 2012 and 2015. The spirituality and enthusiasm from the young people who attended was witnessed in the joyful singing along to the music of Matt Redman, the quiet listening to witness stories, reverential prayer and a Mexican wave encircling Wembley Arena.

Among the wealth of well-received talks and colourful presentations, Cardinal Vincent urged the young people to feed into planning for the 2018 Synod of Bishops on ‘Youth, faith and vocational discernment’.

Being a ‘Missionary Disciple’ Faith Formation for Young Adults

Monday 21st – Monday 28th August 2017 

How do we respond to Pope Francis’ call to be ‘missionary disciples’ today? Ignatius was convinced that God is active and working in all things, and invites us to collaborate in that labour in the world. Ignatian spirituality has a wealth of practical resources to offer, including approaches to prayer, discernment, decision-making and ways of being in mission with Christ. This course is aimed specifically at people in their 20’s and 30’s who desire to respond to God more fully in the world.
