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.

Sunday 21 November is a Day of Prayer for Prisoners and their Dependents.


Sunday 21 November is a Day of Prayer for Prisoners and their Dependents. It is followed by Prisons Week, which runs from 21 - 27 November.

This year the theme for Prisons Week is ‘Be With Me’, taken from St Luke’s account of Jesus and the penitent thief: “You will be with me in Paradise”, words which brought hope to an isolated and broken person.

A prayer for Prisoners

A special prayer has been written for Prisons Week.

'Lord, you offer freedom to all people. We pray for those in prison. Break the bonds of fear and isolation that exist. Support with your love prisoners and their families and friends, prison staff and all who care. Heal those who have been wounded by the actions of others, especially the victims of crime. Help us to forgive one another, to act justly, love mercy and walk humbly together with Christ in His strength and in His Spirit, now and every day.'

The Most Reverend Vincent Nichols, Archbishop of Westminster, has given his support to Prisons Week, saying: “I strongly encourage Christians to think about, pray for, and act for all those affected by prisons during this special week in November.”
