Getting International

As we prepared for Madrid it was clear things were becoming very international

We left for Madrid on the Feast of the Assumption, but not before a Procession of Our Lady and Holy Mass

DAYS IN THE DIOCESE OF SALAMANCA

Welcome to Spain. Our parish in the diocese of Salamanca prepared for us a huge paella.

This is Cyril, a young seminarian from Hong Kong

A deacon, soon to be ordained priest, with fellow pilgrims from the archdiocese of Cambrai in France.

John Watts, a seminarian for our diocese with Feli, my host

                                                         There was music and laughter.....

Fr Kevin Dring is the principal celebrant at the Mass of the Assumption 

The days in the diocese form a prelude to World Youth Day. Our Arundel & Brighton group were divided. 'Arundel' went to the countryside and 'Brighton' stayed in the city. We all met up on Sunday, with other dioceses, for a huge Ponfitifcal Mass in the open air at Alba de Torres, where St Teresa of Avila's relics are to be found. We continued our day with the Bishop of Salamanca at his Cathedral for Vespers.
