Catholic Union Summer Gathering 2025
Catholic Union Summer Gathering Saturday 12 July 2025
We are delighted to invite you to the Catholic Union’s Annual Summer Gathering on Saturday 12 July. The day will include an address from our President, Baroness Hollins, and a chance to meet fellow members of the Catholic Union in congenial surroundings. Fortuitously the day coincides with the 50th Anniversary of the Consecration of Worth Abbey Church and we are lucky enough to be able to join in their celebrations. It also falls within the Jubilee Year which is a special time for grace and forgiveness. Arundel & Brighton Diocese has designated Worth Abbey as one of its three “special places of pilgrimage, where Holy Year Indulgences may be gained”.
In the afternoon we will go to Worth Abbey to hear from Rt Rev. Jeremias Schröder OSB, Abbot Primate of the Benedictine Confederation. The Abbot Primate’s talk, titled “St Benedict’s Message for Europe in 2025,” comes as the Church marks 60 years since Pope St Paul VI declared St Benedict Patron of Europe. Drawing on his background as a historian, Abbot Jeremias will explore how Benedictine values remain vital in today’s religious and secular landscape.
Once 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.
