Heralds of the Gospel in England and Wales: St Therese of Lisieux

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.

Welcoming St Terese in Portsmouth

Some Heralds of the Gospel, including five Companions, were present at St John’s Cathedral, Portsmouth, to welcome the Relics of St Thérèse at the beginning of a month long tour of the country.
They participated in the morning’s Opening Liturgy which involved children and representatives of all the Catholic schools of the Diocese. In the afternoon, Bishop Crispian Hollis celebrated Mass - with Anointing of the Sick. Later there was the opportunity for all present to venerate the Relics.
The relics will travel round the country starting in Portsmouth and finishing four weeks later in London. They will visit 28 venues, including Catholic cathedrals, churches and Carmelite convents.

The Relics of St Thérèse of Lisieux visit England

Many people have been praying and asking for this to happen, and now their prayers have been answered. We can be sure that this will be a time of grace for our Church and our country.

Wherever they have gone, many people have experienced conversion, healing, a renewed sense of vocation, and answers to their prayers.

“I encourage the baptised to use this evangelistic opportunity to proclaim in their daily lives the reality of God’s love and mercy. If you are not a Catholic, come and see. A warm welcome awaits you.” Bishop Malcolm McMahon (Nottingham)Patron of the Visit of the Relics

Pilgrim Statue of The Immaculate Heart of Mary visits homes.

The Heralds of the Gospel take the pilgrim Statue of The Immaculate Heart of Mary as she appeared in Fatima, to peoples homes, as a way of bringing a blessing to the family. The visit normally takes place in the evenings and need not take more than two hours.The Heralds of the Gospel bring the statue to the house and give a short talk about the reason for the visit and the importance of prayer. Five decades of the Rosary are then said, for the intentions of all those present. Tea and coffee may be served at the end. After the visit, the Statue continues on its journey to other homes. This is a wonderful opportunity to invite family and friends to share in Our Lady's visit to your home. The only thing you need to provide is a little table with a table cloth, and some flowers or a candle. There is no charge. Children are welcome to be present. Indeed, it is it is encouraged. The visits must be booked in advance. Call Br Arthur on 02089434159 or 07899034249.
