#Flame2012 Conference


Last Saturday, up to 8000 young people headed to Wembley Arena for one of the largest events for young Catholics they UK has ever seen; it promised "an event to ignite young hearts and souls afresh with the joy of the Gospel message."

On the evidence I saw, it certainly delivered.

Personal highlights for me included seeing Brentwood's very own Pascal Uche MCing the event, lots of familiar faces in the Glee mash-up, the testimonies of Stef Reid (see here- http://www.indcatholicnews.com/news.php?viewStory=20108) and Debbie Flood, seeing lots of old friends, spending time (and charging my phone!) with the CAFOD team, The Mizen family as well as Adoration and Benediction to end the day. A great job of putting it all together by (again) Brentwood's Fr Dominic Howath.

Those who didn't take up the invite to come really missed out! As CYMFed put up some videos, I'll put up a new blog to share some more of the event with you all.


Another star of Brentwood Diocese, Edwin Fawcett wrote this for the Conference. Check out his site: www.EdwinFawcett.com
