walking on and on ...

As reported last week, our two intrepid walkers completed the trek from the Oxford Oratory, to the London Oratory, to the Birmingham Oratory and back here in less than two weeks, despite attacks by cows, dogs and other beasties. Now many of you have already sponsored them - you kindly signed lists outside the church here, or at London or B'rum. So it's time to call in the revenue!

If you are in Oxford, call in on the Porter's Lodge next to the church, where they have the full list of those who had agreed to sponsor, pay up (cash or cheques to "Oxford Oratory Appeal") and they will check your name off on the list. Simple, really!
There will be a chance after Masses in September, when everyone's back from WYD and other excitements, to meet the boys and settle up.



But of course there is more - every year the Oxfordshire Historic Churches Trust run a sponsored "Ride & Stride" on the second Saturday in September (10th September this year), to visit as many historic churches as possible in the time; half the proceeds go directly to the church of your choice (that's us!) and the other half to the OHCT, which gave is a hefty donation two years ago for the restoration of the Relic Chapel. Forms from OHCT or from our Porter's Lodge. You can even be sponsored for sitting in the church and being nice to visitors that day!
