LATEST NEWS

VISIT OF CARDINAL SCOLA TO LONDON  In a rare visit to London, the Cardinal Archbishop of Milan (formerly Patriarch of Venice) will be speaking at Heythrop College in London about the work of the Oasis Foundation for Christian-Muslim understanding in the early afternoon of 11 April. Mark the date in your diary if you think you might be able to come. Details will be announced here as soon as we have them. Cardinal Scola is one of the leading “theological bishops” of the Church and is looking for collaborators in the UK.

COLOURING BOOKS  We brought out a revised edition of our much-loved The Mass Illustrated for Children with the new translation of the liturgy last autumn. If you are curious, we also created a little animated featurette. Meanwhile, Scott Hahn’s introduction to the Bible for children (God’s Covenant with You) is still available, along with our other titles, at bargain prices in our BOOKS section.

CURRENT ISSUE OF SECOND SPRING JOURNAL  The beautiful fourteenth issue, “In the Garden”, is on the theme of nature, gardening, and ecology. The next issue will be on the theme of Faith and Science. To purchase back issues if still available, please contact us at the Oxford office.

HUMANUM REVIEW  The first issue of the FREE online book review journal of the John Paul II Institute in Washington is dedicated to “The Child” and the next will look at the effects of divorce. Humanum aims to examine some of the most pressing issues of our time, especially as they affect the most vulnerable members of society, and includes a round-up of relevant news from around the world.

ALL THINGS MADE NEW  Stratford Caldecott’s latest book is a sequel to The Seven Sacraments, his first book on Catholic mystagogy. All Things Made New explores the mysteries of the Book of Revelation and the Holy Rosary. Details and how to order can be found here. The publisher, Angelico Press, is brand new.

THE OXFORD ORATORY  Our local Oratory continues to fundraise for the building project which they hope to start soon. The G.K. Chesterton Library, which we are currently cataloguing, should be housed at their planned study centre devoted to the Catholic Literary Revival by some time in 2013. If you wish to donate to this worthy project, please get in touch with us or with the Oxford Oratory.
