Totus Tuus - To Jesus through Mary.

To impel the beauty of the new evangelization – this is the charism of the Heralds of the Gospel; Its founder, Monsignor João Dias explains."The Heralds of the Gospel is a private association of faithful with a very special charism based essentially on three points: the Eucharist, Mary and the Pope."

The Heralds of the Gospel are an International Association of the Faithful of Pontifical Right, the first to be established by the Holy See in the third millennium, during a ceremony which occurred during the feast of the Chair of St. Peter (February 22) in 2001.

The Heralds of the Gospel strive to be instruments of holiness in the Church by encouraging close unity between faith and life, and working to evangelize particularly through art and culture. Their apostolate, which differs depending upon the environments in which they work, gives pride of place to parish animation, evangelizing families, providing catechetical and cultural formation to young people, and disseminating religious Iiterature.

Now is the time to prepare for Pope Benedict’s visit.



Despite the restricted access, as many Catholics as possible should make every effort to be physically present at some of the official events during the Papal visit (15-19 September 2010).

Surely Catholics in Britain will want to demonstrate their love and respect for our Holy Father, Pope Benedict XIV, so it would be good to see a very large crowd waiting to welcome him at each venue.

And in future years, each of us will want to be able to look back on this First papal State visit to Great Britain and say: ‘I was there!”

Over the next 8 weeks, please devote special time to pray for the spiritual success of Pope Benedict’s visit. We must not underestimate the great power of prayer and of mortification. Our Blessed Lord surely expects all souls of good will to intensify their prayers for His Vicar on earth as he is about to visit Our Lady’s Dowry.

The official website for the visit may be found at: http://www.thepapalvisit.org.uk/
