July Calendar of Mary

'Our Lady on Saturday' is the overall title given to a series of quarterly talks at St Mary-the-Virgin, Kenton on the place of Our Lady as a focus of devotion and unity for all Christians. It is organised under the auspices of the Ecumenical Society of the Blessed Virgin Mary (ESBVM). The speakers will be drawn from across the Christian traditions and denominations. Enquiries should be directed to the parish priest. Each afternoon concludes with the saying of Evening Prayer according to the New Ecumenical Office of Mary, the Mother of Jesus.
