Congratualtions to Myles Dempsey and all those who make the New Dawn Conference happen every year! Up to 3000 people have been descending on the Shrine of Our Lady in Walsingham for New Dawn every year for the first week of August for the last 20 years! As Myles says: "my vision is to bring together all the riches of the Catholic faith, so the beauty of the Church will be seen in all aspects!"
