In 2008 we're running several CELEBRATE events around the UK.
Already the first (Guildford) of seven
regional weekend events has taken place, as has our Young Adults' event ("Joel's Bar"), and
our second weekend event, Manchester is just
about on us! After Manchester, there will be five more weekends - click here for
the full list. We've chosen
the same theme for each venue:
The love
of God has been poured into our hearts
by
the Holy Spirit who has
been given to us
[Romans
5:5]
This is a new experience for us all! Guildford
and Joel's Bar have already been great successes
but as 2008 unfolds, it continues to challenge us to listen to the Lord
and do what He wants. We will do our best to provide a warm, welcoming
and expectant atmosphere for everyone, so that our times together
will help us draw closer to God and be more confident
in our faith.
Please pray for those who prepared Guildford and Joel's Bar,
and for everyone preparing the coming weekends – and pray, above all,
that God will be glorified.

Message from
the Cardinal.
Since 1994, the annual Celebrate
Family Conference, which I visited in 2003, has been a great encouragement
to adults, young people, and children of all ages, with its emphasis
on good, practical Christian teaching, celebration, services and
fun.
I am delighted that the
new Celebrate Weekends will make the Celebrate experience available
to many more people in the local parishes, and I join with you in
praying for their success”
Cardinal Cormac
Murphy-O’Connor
