We're writing to all our followers at this exciting time for the church, the beginning of Pope Leo XIV's papacy in this Jubilee Year.
Since the special theme of this year is pilgrimage, we - the official team for Catholic Renewal in our newly unified Archdiocese of Cardiff-Menevia - invite you to join us at one of three Jubilee Shrines across South Wales & Herefordshire for a day of praise and worship, Mass and small group sharing. Each day runs 10 am - 3pm, please bring packed lunch.
14 June - Sacred Heart Centre, Swansea SA6 6HX
28 June - Belmont Abbey, Hereford HR2 9RZ
5 July - St Non's Retreat, near Haverfordwest SA62 6BN
There's no need to book - just turn up and bring a friend!
You may also be interested in a Vigil Mass for Pentecost, to be held 8 pm on Saturday 7th June at St Dyfrig's Church, Treforest CF37 1DB - it will have the extended series of six readings for the full Vigil and free use of gifts of the Holy Spirit for praise and worship will be welcome.
If you don't already receive national mailings from Charis England & Wales, you may be interested to know that many of the courses produced by Catholic Faith Exploration over the last few years, including The Gift (a form of Life in the Spirit Seminars) are now freely available on their website: www.charisuk.com/cafe-ondemand
There are many family and youth residential events taking place in England this summer, you can learn more here: olovrct.org.uk/summer-events-for-families-and-youth
If you're not able to come to any of these events, please keep us in prayer.
Looking forward to seeing you - God bless.
Anne Nolan (Chair) & Revd Gareth Leyshon (Vice-Chair) on behalf of the diocesan service team.
