Sunderland City Centre

Young Adults' Prayer Group: A group for young adults, between the ages of 18 - 35(ish), for an hour of praise & worship before the Blessed Sacrament.

Meeting on the 4th Tuesday of every month at 7.00pm. Please meet in St. Mary’s Catholic Church in Sunderland City Centre. More info: Contact: Fr. Marc Lyden-Smith 0191 567 5354. After the Holy Hour you are also welcome to join us in a nearby bar for drinks.

St. Dominic’s, Newcastle, are running a new ‘Who is Jesus?’ Course, as a contribution to evangelisation. It runs on Wednesday evenings, which began on 8 May and continue until 24 July, with a day away on Saturday 6 July.

It presents the basic Catholic claims about Jesus, what he did for us and offers us now, and how to begin or grow deeper in a relationship with Christ and the Church.

Each evening consists of shared food (from 6.30pm), a talk (at 7.00pm) and exploration of the topic in small groups (with everything finished by 8.30pm at the latest), all conducted in a respectful and friendly context. It is aimed at those with no or weak faith, but should help others grow in their faith and learn about sharing it with others.

Attendance at every session is not compulsory, but there is more to benefit from attending as many as possible. Please look at the poster for session dates and topics being covered or visit the Kerygma Project website for more information.

Association of the Eucharist, Corpus Christi Solemn Exposition and Blessed Sacrament Procession will be led by Bishop Robert Byrne at St. Joseph's Home (Little Sisters of the Poor), Newcastle on Sunday 23 June at 3.00pm.
