Don't forget...

...to come to WESTMINSTER CATHEDRAL HALL on Saturday Nov 22nd, any time from 10am, for the  TOWARDS ADVENT Festival.  It promises to be exceptionally good this year...come at 10.30am for the Opening Ceremony with  Mgr Keith Newton of the Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham, and the choir of the John Fisher School, Purley. Join us for the talks given by Canon Luiz Ruscillo on Catholic Education, and Mgr Newton on ecumenism and the future - and join us for what promises to be a superb  practical workshop on Gregorian Chant and how to sing it...

The Festival - launched as part of the marking of the Millenium, and now a vibrant annual chapter in the London Catholic scene - takes a lot of organising, but is fun.  This week, I've been tackling details that range from organising the new coffee machine (freshly brewed REAL COFFEE on sale with other refreshments as you enter the hall) to the  commemorative gifts that are presented to all choir members...plus labels and wrapping for the craft goods, and masses of chocolate coins for various stalls...and more...

There is still time for all young Catholic Londoners of secondary school age to take part in the SS JohnPaul and John XXIII essay project...details on that link.
