The Catholic Women of the Year Luncheon 2011....

...was packed, and the speaker was Mgr Keith Newton of the Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham. He was excellent - by turns amusing, informative, thought-provoking, and inspirational. There is a real vision here for the way things could develop for the Church in England. And our poor country badly needs this boost and this sense of a new adventure...afterwards I helped to hand out leaflets about the Friends of the Ordinariate and some people were already also giving spontaneous donations...

The Luncheon - some 300 women, all chattering away like anything, golly the noise - also included the inevitable raffle, for which Auntie had obtained some books signed by authors: I was particularly pleased that among these was Light of the World, kindly signed by the German journalist Peter Seewald, who wrote a very nice message in it for the winner...
