Each year, 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 many more, and we hope to repeat their success in the years to come. Moreover, we encourage groups from all countries/regions/languages to join in and to show their commitment as well! |

This German film was a nominee for the best foreign film Academy Award in 2006.

It is a demanding spectacle of profound moral courage, of a powerless good person in collision with absolute evil. |
