The patrons of the School of the Annunciation are His Eminence George Cardinal Pell, Prefect of the Secretariat of the Economy, and the Right Reverend Mark O’Toole, Bishop of Plymouth.
Over the past year the School has launched three new courses in evangelisation, catechesis and Latin that combine on-line learning with residentials in the beautiful surroundings of Buckfast Abbey.
Together with six Summer Schools and weekend courses, on subjects ranging from sacred Scripture, philosophy and liturgy, the School has enrolled 129 students from the United Kingdom, Ireland, US, Australia, Gibraltar, Malta, and Dubai.

An interview with Pope Francis on the second anniversary of his election:
“I have the feeling that my pontificate will be brief: four or five years; I do not know, even two or three,”he added. “Two have already passed. It is a somewhat vague sensation. Maybe it’s like the psychology of the gambler who convinces himself he will lose so he won’t be disappointed and if he wins, is happy. I do not know. But I feel that the Lord has placed me here for a short time, and nothing more.”

“That there, is a their”, sayeth our senior citizen from the Outback.
“Thar she blows”, as Chesterton once said. But, “who am I to judge?” One question I’d like to put to His Holiness is why he thinks people who “breed like rabbits”, like his mother did, need to “expect a punch”?

Imagine living in Perth. Talk about the far side of the world. Isolated thousands of miles from the rest of civilization. I remember a National Geographic essay on Perth from about 30 years ago (I’m sure there’ve been others since) and I must say it seemed so magical; but strewth © mate, I cannot imagine actually wanting to live there.
