Beacon of Hope – St Anne’s. London.
Become a “Beacon of Hope” was the theme chosen for the youth event at St Anne’s Home, London on the 29th June 2024. Thirty-two young people people responded to the invitation to take part in this day of prayer and reflection.
During the homily at Mass Father reminded all that Pope Francis has given the Jubilee Year 2025 the theme of “Pilgrims of Hope”. We prayed that the Holy Spirit illumine the heart of all believers with the light of hope.
There was much prayer, reflection and sharing throughout the day which everyone appreciated, each one contributing fully. During the afternoon each participant was given a packet of seeds of various flowers and were invited to plant some at St Anne’s and to take some home with them in memory of the event. All left that evening showing great enthusiasm, and thanksgiving for such a powerful experience, expressing the desire to return for further such events.
