Life is for Joy conference at the Wintershall Estate near
Guildford Surrey 23rd-24th July 2005. See Coming Events under

THE SPIRITUAL LIFE IN PICTURES
Elizabeth Wang, the artist and mystic, who has produced some
wonderful covers for Goodnews in the past, is having an exhibition
of her paintings at the French Church (5 Leicester Place WC2)
just off Leicester Square in central London from 23rd June
to 5th September. It is called "Journey into Prayer:
the Spiritual life in pictures". The exhibition is free
and the church is open every day from 9.30am to 7.30pm. Exhibition
is closed during services. Further info from the web site

SPREAD THE WORD!
A retired Devon couple, Sonia and Geoffrey Archer, are stepping
out in faith this autumn and are planning a day on evangelisation
on 17th September at Shebbear College in North Devon with
John Vaughan Neil. The one day programme called "Spread
the Word", helps encourage and enable people to step
out and evangelise in the way that suits them.
CELEBRATE WILL HAPPEN IN 2006!
The ever popular Celebrate, the annual Easter Catholic Family
Conference in Ilfracombe, will take place at the same site
in 2006. There were fears that, with the current changes afoot
nationally over school terms, the college, which the conference
uses, would not be available during the Easter week. But this
will not be the case, at least in 2006. The changing of term
times, however, will mean that some school holidays will no
longer co-incide with Celebrate. This will mean those who
perhaps haven't been able to get to Celebrate before, will
be able to do so in 2006. Because of the exceptionally high
demand for places, however, its important to book as soon
as possible. If you are interested in attending in 2006 please
send your name and address to Celebrate, Open House, Bullstrode
Way, Gerards Cross, Bucks SL9 7QU and you will be sent an
application form in the autumn mailout.
PENTECOST NOVENA CARDS
One of the ways to prepare for Pentecost is to recite the
Pentecost prayer of Pope John XXIII with which he prepared
for the Second Vatican Council by asking the Holy Spirit for
a new Pentecost. Cards with the prayer available from Goodnews,
price £10 for 100 including postage - ideal for parishes
and prayer groups. We also have a lovely prayer to the Holy
Spirit composed by Fr Pat Collins CM, which is also very popular
and costs the same price.
Write to Goodnews, Allen Hall, 28 Beaufort Street, London
SW3 5AA.
Cheques made payable to CREW Trust.
BOB GELDOF AT THE CATHEDRAL!
This May several leading Catholic politicians and thinkers,
including Bob Geldof, the former rock star and third world
campaigner, have been invited by Cardinal Cormac Murphy O'Connor
to speak on the subject of Faith in Europe in a series of
lectures at Westminster Cathedral. All lectures, which start
at 7pm, are free but by ticket only.

married couples and their children will be available in England
