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!

Corpus Christi [Holy Day of Obligation]
Sunday

|
By decision of the Bishops of England and Wales, Corpus Christi is now celebrated on the
Sunday following the actual date (which would have been Thursday 22nd May). Therefore,
we will celebrate this Holy Day during our usual Sunday Mass at 11:30am at the

Another Chance to Relax...
Tuesday
27 May |
|
We are showing “Becket” — 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...
Tuesday
03 June |
|
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 £45 a
ticket... Not at even 45p a ticket... BUT free!
