International Masses
During
Term |
|
Each year during Spring Term and Summer Term, we share the Internationalism of
the Catholic Church — and the Cathsoc at the University of Kent in particular — by
celebrating our International Masses. On these Sundays, different ‘flavours’
transform our celebrations. The Mass, its songs, prayers and readings are all in a
particular language; whilst our Pot-luck Lunch continues the same theme with a
gourmet meal — with the best dish of that country/region prepared for us!
If you would like to help organising an International Mass, please contact
Fr Peter as soon as possible. In previous years, we celebrated
African, French, German, Hispanic, Italian and Polish Masses, and we hope to
repeat their success in the years to come. Moreover, we also encourage groups from
other countries/regions/languages to join in and to show their commitment as well!

Chill Out in Front of the Video...
Tuesday
15 May |
|
Five days after the Feast Day of Fr Damien of Louvain, we show “Molokai”

|
Ascension Day [Holy Day of Obligation]
Sunday
20 May |
|
By decision of the Bishops of England and Wales, Ascension Day is now celebrated on the Sunday
following the actual date (which would have been Thursday 17th May). Because of a Flower Show
at the Franciscan Centre, our 11:30 Mass will exceptionally be at
St John Stone House today. After Mass, we’ll have our
Pot-luck Lunch at the usual place, St John Stone House.
|
Becket
Tuesday
22 May |
|
Unavailable on any format for 20 years, we are showing the worldwide DVD premier of one of the
great historical epics, which features one of cinema’s most legendary pairings; Peter O’Toole and
Richard Burton. The story tells of the tempestuous friendship between King Henry II
and Thomas Becket.
The King appoints his trusted companion to the esteemed position of Archbishop of Canterbury,
believing his loyalty will give him control over the church. However, Becket takes his new duties
seriously and his devotion to God soon brings him into direct conflict with the State and his
lifelong friend. (Don’t forget the popcorn!)
|
NOT the Union Ball...
Friday
25 May |
|
Enjoy the music of world famous bands (on CD). Feast on Internationally
renowned cuisine (from the local take-away). Dance till dawn and romantically
watch the sun rise (over the garden fence).
All this... and more... “From Eight till (very!) late...” Not at £50 a
ticket... Not at even 50p a ticket... BUT free!
|
Char-à-banc to Cambridge
Saturday
26 May |

For only £12 — Forget (?) about that revision and those examinations — enjoy a

Visit the colleges... Stroll along the banks of (or punt on!) the Cam... Or just get away
from it all...
|
Pentecost Sunday
Another Chance to Relax...
Tuesday

An opportunity to recover around The Barque Inn as we watch “Romero” — the
