You may know that we supported with prayers and several collections, the case being mounted by Teresa Sermons home village in the Philippines against eviction, to allow industrial development. Teresa has now learnt that they have won their case. She writes "I would like to thank God for all He has done and is doing to help our village. Also I would like to thank the whole parish of St Catharine's for all your support and prayers. Many thanks Teresa Sermon."
All are welcome to this Prayer Vigil as the diocese hosts Our Lady of the Taper on pilgrimage to the Holy Father in London. 7.00 pm to 10.00 pm at Clifton Cathedral Wednesday 15 September.
Is being produced by young, and some not so young, Catholics to spread the good news of the Catholic Faith during the Pope's visit in September. If you go to our website http://www.heartgivesuntoheart.co.uk you can see a film clip of the recent press launch for the new Papal Visit Radio Station. This radio station initiative is a direct response to Pope Benedict's call for priests to discover new digital possibilities to proclaim the Word of God and carry out their ministry'.
