21 October 2010 – Immaculate Heart of Mary Church, Hayes, Middlesex,Vocation Expo October 21st – 24th 2010Immaculate Heart of Mary Church, Hayes, Middlesex,
Do you know what the Catholic Church is doing now?
A second four day EXPO is being planned for October 2010.. We want to promote the many positive aspects of vocation the Catholic Church is involved in today and create an awareness of how people can contribute helping and supporting these.They include:Fighting AIDs Managing schools in countries where education is not provided by the stateSupporting women trapped in the sex tradeSupporting families in povertyProviding basic healthcare where it is not provided by the stateLobbying the UN about issues of social justiceResponding to natural disasters, wherever they, occur throughout the world.
The event will be in 2 parts:-
An exhibition area where people can tour the presenting Religious communities. Instead of many religious orders presenting similar information, we have organised the Vocation Expo so that religious ‘families’ or congregations with similar apostolic ministries and common charism will work together to show collectively the work that they are involved in.
Supporting the displays will be a variety of workshops and activity spaces to highlight specific topics, projects and work being undertaken.
In addition, individuals will recount some of the many stories from the experiences they have had.
We will also invite organisations; CAFOD, Marriage care and Catholic Association for Racial Justice to present as well.
A parish volunteer group will be compiling and distributing information packs of content for exhibitions and workshops in the New Year
We are contacting Diocese, neighbouring parishes, schools, confirmation/youth groups and local and Catholic newspapers and radio inviting people to attend and advertise the event.
The EXPO will begin on Thursday and Friday from 8.30 am with a prayer liturgy and will run until 9pm.. On Saturday it will open at midday and run until 11pm with a special vigil for young adults.On the Sunday beginning at 9am and the whole event will close with a special Mass at 3pm.
Schools will be invited to bring RE students during the week days with some of the presentations geared to the school RE syllabus. We will also have parish and other groups in the evening. Throughout, the event will be open to the public.
In an age where all we hear about the Catholic Church is bad news, this is an opportunity to come and discover the Good News the Catholic Church is doing in the world now.
We ran a pilot event over Vocation weekend in April 2009. We had over 700 people over the four days. We intend to run this event with more exhibitors, workshops and visitors.People misunderstood the purpose of the pilot. Many assumed it was to recruit people to join congregations. This is not the intention.Our aim is to provide awareness about the many positive projects and caring work the Catholic Church and organisations are involved in today.People can then decide what how they follow up the experience.There may be enquiries to join orders but more likely we will encourage people to help and support the churches vital work in whichever way they can.For more information go to our website:www.godknowswhere.org.uk.
