Supporting Local Preparations for the Papal Visit

22 June 2010

Thanks to the Home Mission Advisor of the Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales, every parish in our diocese has received a booklet which has been created to support local preparations for the Holy Father’ historic visit.

Clare Ward, the Home Mission Advisor told cliftondiocese.com: “Resources and ideas are offered in it under seven different ‘pathways’: Prayer, Formation, Promotion, Local Events, Journey of Faith Witness, Service and Daily Life.”

You can download your copy in the multimedia panel on the right.

The official website thepapalvisit.org.uk also has the booklet available for download. thepapalvisit.org.uk is the best place to find out the most up-to-date information in the build up to the special time in the life of the Church in our countries.  The top quality website will also provide the best coverage during the visit - if you're unable to be at any of the events it's a great place for you to follow the visit virtually. 

You can also make your donation towards the visit at the official website.  It's simple, secure and direct.

Father Michael McAndrew is the Clifton Diocese Papal Visit Coordinator.  His most recent audio update is still online.  Father Michael will be with us again later week here on cliftondiocese.com passing on all the important papal visit news as soon as he knows it. 

Father Michael recommends the weekly audio updates from Monsignor Andrew Summersgill the Papal Visit Coordinator.  Monsignor Andrew’s updates come from the official website thepapalvisit.org.uk and his most recent update is still online.
