Continuity in the British Isles
Arundel is an enchanting place, set in the Sussex Downs, and it has never looked more beautiful than it did on the day that the Catholic History Walkers arrived in early October.
It was a golden Autumn day of mellow sunshine, and we were a small but cheery group. The main party had met in London, on the steps of Westminster Cathedral – the usual gathering-point for Catholic History Walkers...
Born in London in 1801, Blessed John Henry Newman was ordained an Anglican priest in 1825. He was deeply involved in the development of the Oxford Movement, a movement of influential Anglicans interested in returning to many of the practices of the Roman Catholic Church. Newman’s spiritual and intellectual odyssey led him ever closer to Rome and finally in 1845 he was formally received into the Catholic Church.

 The Continuity movement in the United Kingdom is an apostolate of Miles Jesu dedicated to promoting Catholicism in one of the first countries to have accepted the faith (through the apostolic efforts of St. Augustine of Canterbury in the 6th century). An annual event is “The Martyrs' Walk” which takes place on the weekend closest to the feasts of St. Thomas More and St. John Fisher (on June 22). Organized in cooperation with Vinculum members in the U.K., this year's walk drew 200 participants.
