Leading the worship mainly for our liturgies will be Salv Lomanto and Tom Bonard, whilst the main worship sessions will be led by myself.

A little more about the weekend
           
It’s going to be very very exciting.  We’ve got lots of speakers, lots of seminars and workshops for people to take part in across all sorts of different things. We’re very blessed to have Bishop Declan coming to celebrate Mass with us on the Saturday morning which we’re very excited about, and it’s going to be really good fun.
           
It’s a family conference. We cater for all age ranges. We have streams for the children, through primary streams and obviously secondary streams as well. We keep them actively involved in the celebration of the weekend.
           
And it’s a just chance for a relaxing weekend together celebrating all that is great about our faith, and maybe posing a few questions to ourselves about what it is that we believe, what it is we feel and how we can move forward in our faith.

About Bristol

Bristol is bursting with life. Whether you are visiting for a few hours or staying for a fortnight, this exciting city has so much for you to see and do.   From a Catholic perspective, the Celebrate 2008 weekend at St Bede's College is very close to the oldest church in the area - St Mary on the Quay.  An imposing church with a massive Corinthian portico stood on the waterfront when it was completed in 1840, hence the name.
               
The River Frome in front of it was later covered over.
               
The church was built by a movement led by Edward Irving, known as the Catholic Apostolic Church, but was taken over by the Roman Catholic Church a few years later. It was then served by Jesuits until a few years ago, but is now run by Father Michael Cleary & others, of the Society of the Divine Word (SVD)
