Theology of the Body for Schools . . .

One of the reasons for adding a blog list to the side bar of any blog is to make it easier for readers to access other blogs which the author thinks their readers might find interesting. I do hope that you 'dip in' to some of these blogs from time to time and see what other Catholics, both priests and laity, have to say.

One such blog is the excellent 'Love undefiled' written by Robert Colquhoun. I would highly recommend you to have a look at this blog where Robert has recently published a presentation of 'Theology of the Body for Schools'.

If you have school-aged children, I'm sure you naturally wish that they receive the best of everything in all aspects of their education. 'Theology of the Body for Schools' offers a genuine Catholic programme of PSHE which is true to the teaching of the Catholic Church.

Quo Vadis? . . .

If you have teenagers in the family, you will know that this is not the easiest time for them - exam results loom! I hope that all our young people have achieved the exam results they were expecting, hoping for, or needed for the next stage in their education and indeed the next stage of their life.

I wonder how many young people when considering the future, have give even a few seconds' thought to the possibility that God may be calling them to quite a different future than most of their peers.

Perhaps the following excellent video might cause some people to allow themselves to at least consider the possibility. This is part 1 of 2 videos on vocations. Please watch this blog for part 2 in the next few days.

Talking of vocations, which I was (and hopefully many parents out there are too) there are several events coming up soon in our diocese organised by Fr Paul Turner, our Vocations Director.

Saturday 17th October at Christ the Prince of Peace, Weybridge.
'God's Plan 4 U' The day begins with Mass at 10.00am and finishes about 4.30pm.

Samuel Groups.
Monthly gatherings to support young adults (18-35) in discerning their vocation.

From October there will be Samuel Groups running on Tuesday evenings at The Friary Church in Crawley and on Thursday evenings at St Dunstan's Church in Woking. (7pm - 9.30pm)
