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.

Bishop Hopes, Auxiliary Bishop of the Diocese of Westminster, to lead youth catechesis


Bishop Alan Hopes and the SPEC mission team will lead the next diocesan catechesis for young people in the Year of Faith on Tuesday 15 January. The catechetical series called ‘You Believe’ is an opportunity for young adults in the Diocese of Westminster to explore the Catholic faith together with our bishops.



The next session will be celebrated on Tuesday 15 January at 7pm at St Aloysius, Somers Town (Euston) in central London. The session will be held in the meeting hall of the new Centre for Youth Ministry.

The year-long programme is at the heart of the celebration of the Year of Faith for young people in the Diocese of Westminster. At the diocesan level, it seeks to address the on-going and essential desire for catechesis, faith encounters and positive experiences of the Church for our young people beyond the age of the confirmation, as well as to meet the invitation by the Pope to place evangelisation and catechesis at the centre of the Year of Faith.

Further dates for 'You Believe' are:

Tuesday 5 February Life in the Church – with His Eminence Cardinal Cormac Murphy O'Connor. 
Tuesday 12 March Celebrating Faith
Tuesday 30 April Finding Happiness
Tuesday 14 May Living Life to the Full
Tuesday 25 June Communion of Saints
Tuesday 17 September The Gift of Prayer
Tuesday 22 October The Journey of Renewal

Bishop Alan Hopes started 'Young Adults in the West' a regular meeting with young adults several years ago, and has always had a close bond with the young people of the diocese. He has attended the last two World Youth Days in Sydney and Madrid with young people from London. Last year, he took part in the 40 Days for Life vigil with many young adults from the diocese and beyond.

The theme of this You Believe will be ‘Faith in Jesus Christ’. Everyone is welcome.
St Aloysius at Euston is conveniently located in central London, with easy walking access to Euston, St Pancras International, and Kings Cross stations for Hertfordshire parishes, as well as the Piccadilly, Victoria, Northern, Circle and Hammersmith & City underground lines for London connections. If you want to send young people aged 16-17, please remember to make sure they also have the consent of their parent or guardian.
