The Heart of the Matter with Father Michael

18 June 2010

Clifton Diocese Papal Visit Coordinator Father Michael McAndrew brings us a podcast where he talks about the new booklet about the Holy Father's historic visit.

Father Michael's podcast is in the multimedia panel on the right.  He tells us about that the new publication explains the content and meaning of the papal visit.

Heart speaks unto heart is the motto for the visit and Father Michael talks about his understanding of what is Cardinal John Henry Newman's motto. 

Father Michael also reports that Archbishop Vincent Nichols confirms that practical arrangements for the visit on well on track. 

There's much more from Archbishop Nichols on the official papal visit website thepapalvisit.org.uk. You can listen to Archbishop Nichols speaking at the launch of the booklet and hear him answering questions from journalists at the press conference.

As Father Michael tells us in today's podcast, Vatican Radio's interview with Archbishop Nichols is well worth a listen. It's also available in the multimedia panel on the right along with the booklet.

Father Michael's most recent audio update came earlier this week and is still online.  Father Michael will be with us again next week here on cliftondiocese.com passing on all the important papal visit news as soon as he knows it.

The official website 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 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.
