As readers of our latest Newsletter letter will know, there will be a chance to meet two members of the community in London at the LMS Conference on 9th June.
The conference has five very interesting and well-known speakers: the blogger Fr John Zuhlsdorf, the historian Dr John Rao, Stuart McCullough of the Good Counsel Network, and John Hunwicke of the Ordinariate of Our Lady of Walsingham. It is very good value for money, at £20, reduced to £15 for LMS members, and takes place in the Regent Hall in Oxford Street, London.

In addition to the speakers, there will be stalls representing many Traditional Catholic groups and apostolates, including the Sons of the Most Holy Redeemer, manned by two brothers, Br Marin Mary and Fr Jean Marie. Before the conference starts, between talks, and over lunch, there will be opportunities to talk to the brothers, and look at their display.
This is a great opportunity for our supporters to meet some of the community in the flesh, and ask them any questions they might have.
Book your tickets online here.

Son spotted in London
I happened to be in St Bede's on Sunday, where Fr Andrew Southwell celebrated a magnificent Missa Cantata in rose vestments, to the accompaniment of a polyphonic choir, Cantores Missae, under the direction of Charles Finch. The Cantores Missae sing at St Bede's once a month.
By coincidence Br Dominic Mary F.SS.R. was in choir. He was en route from the Orkneys to his native New Zealand, where he will be joining the Sons' second community in Christ Church.
Br Dominic is a lay brother, and has been (and will continue to be) much involved in The Catholic newspaper. Please pray for the community in Christ Church, where after-shocks from the big earthquake of a year ago are still being felt.

Two clothings, a temporary profession and a final profession on St Alphonus' day
The Monastery blog reports that on 2nd August, the Feast of St Alphonsus, two postulants were formally 'clothed' in the habit of the Order, one notive made his 'temporary profession' (like the 'temporary' or 'simple' vows of Benedictines and others, a stage towards becoming a fully professed member of the community), and one Brother made his 'Final Profession' (equivalent to 'Solemn' as opposed to 'Simple' profession, ie a permanent committment to the Order).
This is a great day for the community, and all these young men and their families are to be congratulated.
Congratulations to Br Peter and Br Seelos!
And to Br Xavier Maria and Br Alfonso Maria!
See the Sons' blog for more pictures.

Visiting Oxford
Fr Michael Mary, Br Magdala and Br Martin visited Oxford last week for a few days. Among other things they sold some of their rare-breed sheep's wool to a customer in the South West of England.
Here they are with the Trustees of the Friends of Papa Stronsay.
