Birmingham to host huge young Catholic gathering
The largest gathering of young Catholics in a quarter of a century is going to take place in Birmingham next month.
4000 young adults, are expected to descend on the National Indoor Arena, Birmingham on 6 October, for 24 hours of workshops, speakers, gigs, discussion, Mass, vigil, networking, fun, time out and even Catholic speed dating.
Hosted by inspirational speakers, Catholic leaders and celebrities, the organisers say: "Oct.06 will focus on real people, real lives and real issues. It will demonstrate how the Word of God is alive and active in the 21st Century, with the invitation to Find it, Own It and Live It for yourself."
Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor said: "I look forward to joining you at Oct.06. What better way of spending a weekend? You will meet other people from across England and Wales; your faith will be challenged and nourished; and there will be plenty of chance to put faith into action. I hope every young Catholic adult will endeavour to be there."
"The word of God is something alive and active: it cuts more incisively than any two-edged sword: it can seek out the place where soul is divided from spirit, or joints from marrow; it can pass judgment on secret emotions and thoughts." Hebrews 4 v 12
