Drawing on his background as a historian\, Abbot Jeremias will explore how Benedictine values remain vital in today’s religious and secular landscape. \nOnce again\, we have managed to keep the price low at £32 per person. This includes lunch and refreshments.  St Thomas More Circle Associates\, Supporters and Benefactors are entitled to one complimentary ticket\, but are still required to register. For more information about how to join the St Thomas More Circle\, please click here. \nPayment of £32 should be made by bank transfer to the Catholic Union\, HSBC\,  Account No: 40217492\, Sort: 40 05 20\, Essential Reference: SG25/surname \n\nFull name\nNumber of tickets\nDietary requirements\nPlease indicated if you are a Thomas More Circle Donor (Associates\, Supporters and Benefactors are entitled to one complimentary ticket).\n\nFor any queries or problems please contact info@catholicunion.org.uk or telephone 020 87491321 \nClick here for more information on how to find Worth by road and rail. \nI hope that you can join us for what will be a very special day. \n\n\n\nRichard Collyer-Hamlin \nChair \nCatholic Union of Great Britain\nProfessor Peter Hindmarsh \nChair \nCatholic Union Charitable Trust\n\n\n\nTo book your ticket please click here
