Confraternity of Catholic Clergy
British Province of
Pope Saint Gregory the Great
Priests of various UK dioceses, meeting on 19th October 2010 with the good wishes and encouragement of many others, voted unanimously to Found the Confraternity of Catholic Clergy - in direct response to the recent State Visit to Britain of Pope Benedict XVI and his Beatification of Blessed John Henry Newman - for the sanctification and support of Priests, and in promotion of Priestly life, holiness and mission by:
Fidelity Formation Fraternity
Encouragement to love and live the Catholic priesthood...
That’s how one member of the Confraternity described the first Colloquium, held at the Oratory school, Reading, from Thursday 27th to Friday 28th October.
Sixty delegates gathered to listen to moving and inspirational addresses, delivered by the keynote speakers: Bishop Mark Davies of Shrewsbury; Mgr Andrew Wadsworth (Director of ICEL), and Bishop Geoffrey Jarrett (representing the Australian Confraternity of Catholic Clergy).
Holy Mass, the Office and Adoration underpinned the colloquium, which attracted not only secular clergy, but members of various religious orders, deacons and seminarians.
