Dear Friends

Two Celebrate events this weekend!

This weekend, 3rd/4th May sees two events happening concurrently - Heart of England (at Princethorpe, near Rugby) and Southampton. There are a handful remaining places at both, so if you want to come, then contact the organisers directly - Barry Green (Heart of England) and Peter Szymanski (phone numbers on the booking forms)

Since our last update, we can also report that the Manchester weekend was a great success (more from Chris Power on this page).

By the way, including the two events this weekend, a total of 1650 will have attended Celebrate events so far this year!

Finally, with three eventgs to go, St Albans is full, but holding a waiting lists, and there are still places at Brighton and Bristol – they are being booked up quickly, so ensure you return your booking form promptly if you haven't yet done so.

Celebrate 2008

THIS WEEKEND!!!!

Southampton. We're almost full - about 30 places left! We’re delighted that we’re getting bookings from as far as Malta, Canada and New Zealand.

Heart of England Hurry, hurry - we can just squeeze in a few more.
And because of our rural location, don't forget to book your meals!

Publicity - The Good News about Celebrate is spreading far and wide... and quickly too! We’ve seen article published on Brentwood Diocese’s Website, in Salford Diocese’ “Cornerstone” (Charismatic Renewal) magazine, in the Three Rivers (Hampshire) Pastoral Area magazine and in both Westminster and Northampton Dioceses’ periodicals, Westminster Record and The Vine, and on Independent Catholic News too. We’re delighted at how the message is spreading, and a huge thank you to all of you who’ve taken it upon yourselves to write articles for your local website, magazine, or other publication. We’re sure that there will be at least as many again, if not more, that we’re not even aware of, so please, please keep up this fantastic ministry, spreading the message.

Feedback from the Guildford Weekend

What a wonderful time we all had together - we can hardly believe it's all over! The weekend was mightily blessed - the talks were amazing, the worship anointed and dramas inspirational. The children and young people went away filled with the Holy Spirit, some of them saying it was the best weekend of their lives!

The conference included many experiencing 'CELEBRATE' for the first time as well as regular attendees and ended with a Mass of celebration to thank God for all He had done among us during our time together. Many many thanks to the fantastic team and all those who helped set down - it wouldn't have been possible without you! Click here to go to our webpage to see some of our piccies!
