Saturday 24th March	Flame - National Catholic Youth Event Wembley Arena, London Flame Congress is the largest ever event for young Catholics in England and Wales, taking place in Wembley Arena on 24^th March 2012. With nearly 6500 tickets sold, the Arena is filling up and now is the time to book. Throughout the day there will be excellent input from speakers such as Fr Christopher Jamison, Barry and Margaret Mizen, Fr Timothy Radcliffe, and a number of Olympians and Paralympians. Interspersed with this will be music from Edwin Fawcett (who animated some of the music for the Papal Visit at Hyde Park), drama from RISE theatre, and much more. The day will be MC’d by Paschal Uche (the young man who greeted the Pope on the steps of Westminster Cathedral) and David Wells, who has presented to similar gatherings in Los Angeles. It should be a magnificent day – excellent input which is both celebratory and thought provoking, in a really uplifting atmosphere – and through it all, Christ at the centre. The day will finish with a time of Adoration led by Archbishop Vincent. Tickets are £18 and can be booked by groups of ten or more. All details are at www.cymfed.org/flame
