International Masses
During
Term |
|
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.
A moving account of an idealistic student who was executed in 1943 for handing out
