Retreat mornings examine ways of proclaiming Good News

ADoRE (Alton Day of Renewal) is a monthly meeting of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal. Formed in 1975, it is now one of the longest continually running Charismatic Days of Renewal in Britain, dedicated to the encouragement of a personal relationship with God, through Jesus, in the power of the Holy Spirit.

Until November, ADoRE is running a monthly ADoRE’s Zoom course to inspire parish evangelisation, “Proclaim the Good News –we are called to be Missionary Disciples”. It aims to develop participants’ understanding and appreciation of how every Catholic is to respond to Jesus’ call to share in his mission. The course runs for three hours on Saturday mornings and features talks by guest speakers who are leaders in renewal with extensive experience in both practising and teaching about evangelisation. They will give practical encouragement and advice on sharing the Good News in the parish. Each meeting also includes Mass, adoration, praise and worship and prayer. You don’t need to commit to all the sessions and there is no charge for participation. However, individuals must register for each meeting in advance and they will appreciate donations. Also, it isn’t necessary to attend the whole three hours, you can join at any time.

The guest speakers on Saturday May 20 are Father Jon Bielawski and Michele Thompson. Adoration is at 9.30am, with Mass at 10am. To join, visit stbedesbasingstoke.org.uk/live and find “From St Bede’s...LIVE” (no need to register).
