It’s going to be a busy summer for the MSC Vocations team. In addition to our volunteering programme in South Africa and our Camino Pilgrimage in June we’re going to hitting the festivals around the UK. The first up is going to be in the heart of London for Spirit in the City from the 12th to the 14th of June.
Spirit in the City is a celebration of Christian faith that welcomes people of all faiths, ages and walks of life in Leicester Square. It is the initiative of four inner city churches looking to reach out and share the Good News. It gives the opportunity to raise deeper questions about life. The festival features an open air stage with music, drama and art. There are also times of prayer, reflection and reconciliation.
“People are searching for something more significant in their lives with meaning and purpose. We all deserve a response to these deep desires and Spirit in the City aims to be one!”
Our theme this year is JOY! It touches into what Pope Francis has spoken about throughout his first year. We have received the gift of faith. The outpouring love that we feel can’t be kept to ourselves, but needs to be shared with others.
“I want to share a message, and the message is joy. The joy of the Gospel fills the heart and the whole life of those who encounter Jesus. With Jesus Christ joy is always born and reborn.” Pope Francis
