Cor Ad Cor Loquitur (Heart Speaks unto Heart)

Blessed Cardinal John Henry Newman began his Christian Ministry as an Anglican Minister.  His thirst for further knowledge led him to study the writings of the early Church Fathers, and it was these that led him to the Catholic Church, as he said “The Church Fathers made me Catholic.” 

On Thursday 10th October Father Victor and 32 parishioners set off for Oxford to follow in Saint John Henry Newman’s footsteps.  Prayers on our journey put us into thoughtful mode about the day ahead.

​
Pope Francis canonised Blessed Cardinal John Henry Newman in Rome on Sunday 13th October 2019.

'The Turning', Evangelisation on the streets 22-28 September 2019

4/10/2019

Father Victor and four parishioners, who are also parish evangelising cell system (PECS) members,
took part in the Turning during the week of  Sunday 22nd – Saturday 28th Sept 2019. 
Several other parishioners, also cell members, attended the evening prayer meetings. 

​The Turning is an evangelism model that encourages and equips ordinary Christians to introduce people to Jesus and follow up with one-to-one discipleship. Since its infancy in Reading, Berkshire in 2016, it has spread to other cities and counties in England and into Scotland, Wales and over to Europe. Apart from well over 10,000 people making decisions for Jesus on the streets, The turning also leaves behind a legacy of better Church unity and changing Church cultures to that of disciples making disciples. The Turning works through the local community or parish, working to equip you and your local Church leaders across your region.
