It’s not Nine minus Two

(This is another post I started writing back when we first came off the road, but was edited later on, after I’d had time to start processing.) 23 March 2020 These last seven months have been the most life changing months of my life. My time on NET was supposed to last until May, but […]

I Wanna Love Like You

As I’m sure most of you know, I spent seven months this year working as a Catholic missionary in the US. It’s been a long time since I’ve posted on here. Over a year, in fact. If I’m being honest, I feel like I’ve put a lot of pressure on myself with this post. Of […]

My Testimony

No official blog post on here this week – I wrote my testimony of being a Catholic at university over on the Catholic Student Network blog and it would mean a lot if you gave it a read. You can find the post here. Until next time,

Walsingham Youth 2000: Inheritance

We have a promise of an Inheritance that can never be spoilt or fade away, kept for you in the heavens. (1 Peter 1:4) This was the theme of this year’s Youth 2000 festival in Walsingham a couple of weeks ago (if you have no idea what Youth 2000 is, I really encourage you to […]

Friday Faves #35

This week couldn’t have been more different than the last few! I moved into our house in Liverpool on Sunday, and since then I’ve just been feeling completely different about everything. Living with three of my best friends is THE best. We get on so well and are such a good team! I turned 20 […]

Freshers’ Files: Practising your Faith at Uni

Before I started uni last September, I had so many questions! Luckily, quite a few of my closest friends are a year or two older and so they were able to help me out and give me some advice. However, not everyone has older siblings or friends who can answer their questions. So whether you’re […]

Lourdes Diaries: Days Seven & Eight

And so the last full day of our pilgrimage had arrived. Unfortunately, the arrival of the last day also seemed to welcome the start of some beautiful weather in Lourdes! Although it had been pretty warm all week, it had also been overcast and rainy. But when we woke up on Thursday, the sun had […]

Lourdes Diaries: Day Six

After a very chilled day on Tuesday, it was time for the most jam-packed day of the pilgrimage! The day began as always – with Catherine and Rach enjoying a brew and the three of us trying to fill up with as many croissants as we could get away with!! It was a later start […]

Lourdes Diaries: Day Five

The day started off in the usual way, with us all processing to Mass in one of the chapels in the domain. It was the Mass of Anointing, and the Anointing was a really beautiful time during Mass. I found it really moving, just sitting, watching all the VIPs who were being anointed, and praying […]

Lourdes Diaries: Day Four

If I thought that Sunday had been an early start, I was not prepared for Monday!!! We had Mass down at the Grotto at 8:30am with Welsh National pilgrims and also some from Galway and so we had to be ready to leave the hotel by 7:15am in order to process down to the Grotto. […]
