As we mark 800 years since the death of St Francis (3 October 1226), Fr Alban McCoy OFM Con will speak about how Francis changed the Church of his day, and can help us to renew the Church in our own times.
The Saint’s love of creation speaks to the ecological concerns of today, his outreach to Islam at the time of the fifth Crusade urges renewed inter-faith commitment, and his profound love of Jesus Christ, and of the Church as His Body in the world, encourages Christians to wholehearted, generous, gospel living.
Fr Alban McCoy OFM Conventual is Fellow Emeritus and Praelector of St Edmund’s College, Cambridge.
The event will take place in the hall at the Catholic Church of Christ the Eternal High Priest, Gidea Park (RM2 6DH) from 11 am until 1 pm on Saturday 2 May. Refreshments available from 10.30. Everyone is welcome to this free event, which is also available by live stream on www.whatgoodnews.org
No booking necessary.
