Today's
Work
Objects
The Confraternity is established for the advancement of the
catholic faith in the Anglican Tradition and in particular to
promote:-
·
the honour due to Jesus Christ our Lord in the
Blessed Sacrament of his Body and Blood,
·
prayer for one another at the Eucharist,
· careful
preparation for and reception
of Holy Communion, including the Eucharistic fast,
· the
reverent and dignified celebration of the
Eucharist and the reservation and
veneration of the Blessed Sacrament,
· the
continuance of the catholic priesthood,
and catholic theological teaching,
learning and
development.
Wards
At heart we are a
devotional society, a group of people seeking to live the Christian
life, drawn together by common prayer that finds its unity in Jesus
Christ.
We have a love for Jesus in the the Blessed Sacrament that we seek
to demonstrate by the reverence we show Him and the cause we
promote. Everything else flows from that. Our members receive
regular lists of Intercessions to hold us together in prayer.
A Ward is formed of a group of people, usually in a parish setting,
or sometimes a wider area, who come together each month for an act
of
worship, devotion or study.
The Annual Festival
Each year the Associates
meet for the Annual Festival usually the first Saturday in June in
London - this year 6th June at St Alban's Holborn, Mass 12noon. It is an opportunity to review the past year and recommit
our work to God.
Grants
To support our
objects we are able, from time to time, to make Grants of vessels,
vestments and tabernacles to poor and populous parishes both at
home and overseas. Applications should be made to the
Secretary-General.
Loan Vestments
We have three sets of matching
concelebration Chasubles available for loan: thirty each in white,
