Lord Lemos CMG CBE, social policy expert and author, will deliver the Catholic Union’s 2025 Craigmyle Lecture on Tuesday 16 September at Notre Dame London. The lecture, entitled ‘Catholicism for the Next Generation’, will be Chaired by Baroness Hollins, President of the Catholic Union. The event is sponsored by Stone King.
Lord Lemos says: “The world is becoming ever more complicated. Navigating a path is not easy, but encounters with the Catholic faith, albeit via education or parish life, can enhance the life experience of children in today’s world”.
The Craigmyle Lecture is the Catholic Union’s annual flagship lecture, giving a platform to a prominent public figure to talk about a matter of importance to Christians and wider society in this country. Some of the previous speakers have been Dame Rachel de Souza, Baroness Hollins, Lord Bird, Professor Tom Shakespeare, Baroness Scotland, Sir James MacMillan, Field Marshal Lord Guthrie of Craigiebank, Rt Hon Anne Widdecombe and Sir Rocco Forte.
Lord Craigmyle (Donald) was a former President of the Catholic Union after whom the lecture series is named and we are delighted that the current Lord Craigmyle is a supporter of the Catholic Union. The event will be free to but booking is essential. The lecture will be followed by a drinks reception, sponsored by Stone King, where the conversation can be continued.
Baroness Hollins, President of the Catholic Union, says: “We are extremely grateful to Lord Lemos for agreeing to deliver our flagship lecture in September. As we look ahead to the next generation, we must do all we can to ensure that children, as well as adults in vulnerable situations, are given the very best chances in life. With his huge experience in social policy, I’m sure Lord Lemos will both challenge us and share some fascinating calls to action”.
