I am off today to a mini-retreat for convert Catholics run by the Coming Home Network. This society based in the USA has been receiving so many contacts from the UK that last year it launched a UK retreat at Ampleforth Abbey in Yorkshire, which I attended. This year's is at Ladywell Franciscan Friary in Godalming. The CHN website hosts numerous podcasts and videos helpful for Catholic Apologetics. Back Wednesday, so I will resume the blog on Thursday.
