A number of exciting events—including the second annual pilgrimage to Walsingham and a talk by former Daily Telegraph editor Charles Moore—will take place within Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham in the UK in the coming weeks and months.

Dr Andrew Nash will give an illustrated talk on the life of Blessed John Henry Newman, the patron of the Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham, on Monday evening. Dr Nash is a former head of English at the Oratory School, founded by Cardinal Newman, and is the editor of the current edition of Newman’s Lectures on the present position of Catholics in England.

The following Saturday, Mgr Keith Newton (above), ordinary of the personal ordinariate, will lead a national pilgrimage to the shrine of St Augustine in Ramsgate, which will begin with a Pontifical Solemn Mass at midday, celebrated at the shrine’s pugin church.

On Thursday June 13, Charles Moore, whose authorised biography of Margaret Thatcher has recently been published, will give a talk on the future of Christianity in Britain at an event in London being organised by the Friends of the Ordinariate. The event will take place in the Little Oratory, Brompton Road, London, at 6pm.

Mgr Keith Newton will also lead the main event of the ordinariate’s summer calendar, the second annual pilgrimage to Walsingham, on Saturday June 22. Angelus and Solemn Mass will be celebrated at noon.

The Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham was established in 2011 by Pope Benedict XVI to allow Anglicans to enter into the full communion of the Catholic Church whilst retaining much of their heritage and traditions.
