Friday Penance - Abstinence from Meat
On Friday 16 September 2011 the Bishops of England and Wales decided to
re-establish the practice of Friday penance which is fulfilled by
abstaining from meat and by uniting this to prayer.
Below is the link to a video recording from Will Desmond who states his reasons for abstaining from meat on Fridays and the positive effect that it has had on his life. It's good to listen to the voice of the Church and see Her rules and regulations not as restraints, but rather as ways of helping us become better Catholics and better human beings.

Youth Catechism - YOUCAT
This is a fantastic resource which will greatly help in the re-evangelisation so urgently needed in the West.
Why is it needed? Well, the crisis in the Church has also been that of Western civilization in general, the last half century has witnessed a loss of confidence in objective values, save perhaps that of empirical science. We have become sceptical about a lot of things, and that includes the Church, and so there was less and less emphasis on learning objective "facts" about God and more on how I personally experience God.
Needless to say, when adults encountered adult problems their faith content was that of children from the last time they were catachized, say for Confirmation, and so they could only bring a child's knowledge of the things of God to bear on complex problems, hence many rejected the Faith, not because they knew what the Church taught, but rather because they didn't know.
With the new youth catechism we have a real chance of addressing this problem so that young people can both know about God and the Church, and so come to know and love God and His Church, and so find meaning for their lives and their eternal salvation.

New Translation of the Novus Ordo Mass celebrated for the first time
Today saw the first celebration of the newly revised Rite of Mass in English at Sant Jordi. It was good to see that most people were prepared for the change due to the good catechetical preparation that so many parishes have done over the last few months.
The new translation is a vast improvement over what we had before seems to be the almost universal comment from those who were there.
Don't forget that Mass is celebrated in Sant Jordi church in Cap de Salou each and every Sunday at 12:30pm.
