Some more snaps from last month's Called event - helping young people prayerfully discern their vocation ✨
Inspiring testimonies, and a deeply moving keynote from Bishop Gerard Bradley. The evening was filled with grace: Confessions, Eucharistic Adoration, veneration of the relic of St John Henry Newman, praise & worship led by Loretto UK and Fr Joseph Gulliford, beautiful choral music from the Cathedral lay clerks, and a lively social that carried on late into the evening.
Grateful to everyone who came and made it so special. Please keep praying for all those discerning their next step 🙏

Alongside the core EQ Saints content, the programme also includes bespoke diocesan modules designed to help leaders reach and accompany young people in our own local context.
