A choral Stations of the Cross and 'Canticle of the Passion' followed by the Rosary, took place at St Dominic's Rosary Shrine in Haverstock Hill on Friday, St Patrick's Day.

The prayerful evening was broadcast on Radio Maria - whose London studio is based next door to the Dominican church.

After the prayers, there was a book launch event in the Parish Hall of 'Lenten Devotions from the Rosary Shrine' , by Fr Lawrence Lew OP, Prior and Parish Priest at St Dominic's. In his book, Fr Lawrence offers three beautiful Lenten devotions: Stations of the Cross featuring photographs and meditations, the Canticle of the Passion, based on words revealed to St Catherine de Ricci, and recollections on the seven last words of Jesus on the Cross.

The Elysian Singers are returning to the Rosary Shrine to give a choral concert of Marian motets on Saturday 25 March which is 'Lady Day'. The concert begins at 7.30pm, and tickets (£15/£10 conc.) are available in advance online from Eventbrite www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/ave-maris-stella-music-for-lady-day-tickets-524874583007 or on the door.

Proceeds from the concert will go to the Rosary Shrine. The programme lasts an hour with an interval with wine in the Parish Hall. The repertoire of Marian music will range from Monteverdi to Britten to MacMillan (see here for the full programme: www.elysiansingers.com/concerts/ave-maris-stella/ )

Jonathan Byrd, who plays classical guitar during monthly 1st Saturday devotions at St Dominic's, will give a concert of improvised 'sacred guitar' meditations on the Passion of Christ on the eve of Holy Week, Saturday 1 April at 7:30pm after the Rosary Procession. Entry is free with a retiring collection.
