St Catherine of Siena, ora pro nobis 🌹❤️‍🔥☀️

On this sacred day, we commemorate the Angel Gabriel’s visit to the Virgin Mary, bringing tidings of great joy: that she would conceive and bear the Son of God. Mary, in her humility and obedience, became the vessel through which God’s plan for salvation unfolded.

As we reflect on this miraculous event, let us ponder Mary’s unwavering faith and her profound “yes” to God’s will, a testament to her trust in His divine providence.

May the Feast of the Annunciation remind us of the power of God’s love and the importance of saying “yes” to His call, just as Mary did. Let us open our hearts to His presence and strive to emulate Mary’s faith, humility, and obedience in our own lives.

Happy Feast! ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

Yesterday was the feast of St Patrick, a devout servant of God and the patron of Ireland!

Let’s remember St Patrick’s courageous journey, from being enslaved to becoming a beacon of hope and evangelization. His fervent prayers and tireless efforts to convert hearts to Christianity serve as a shining example for us all.

We hope you had a very happy and holy St Patrick’s day!

It was a blessing to have Fr Paschal Uche as an Emcee at our conference back in February!

Today we commemorate the feast day of another priest, St Andrew Dũng-Lạc and his companions.

He and numerous other Vietnamese Christians faced martyrdom due to their refusal to renounce his Christian faith despite intense pressure and persecution from the authorities at the time.

Their courage in the face of hardship inspires us to stand firm in our beliefs.

Happy Feast day!

Join us at the SPEC Retreat Centre in Pinner on 28 October for a unique training workshop delivered by Brenden Thompson, CEO of Catholic Voices and the new UK Program Director for Word On Fire Catholic Ministries.

Catholic Voices’ mission is to train the laity to ‘defend the faith, without raising your voice’ and equip Catholics to use controversy as an opportunity to tell the Church’s story with clarity and charity.

During the workshop, beginning at 10am and finishing at 4pm, Brenden will provide us with practical training in public speaking and the ‘re-framing’ approach to defending the faith. He will also share targeted advice on defending the Catholic faith in debates on gender identity.

Please bring your own lunch and make use of our wonderful grounds for a light picnic on the day! If the weather is wet, then we have inside spaces available.

We look forward to welcoming you!

Head to the Events page on our website to find out more and book a FREE place!

Tomorrow is the feast of St Thérèse of Lisieux!

‘Do you realize that Jesus is there in the tabernacle expressly for you- for you alone? He burns with the desire to come into your heart... don’t listen to the demon, laugh at him, and go without fear to receive the Jesus of peace and love…

Receive Communion often, very often...there you have the sole remedy, if you want to be cured. Jesus has not put this attraction in your heart for nothing.’ ~ St Thérèse of Lisieux

Happy Feasting!
