On the evening of 17  February at 10.35 “Our Man in the Vatican”, is to begin screening on BBC Northern Ireland.  The program, the first in a series of three, follows the work of HE Francis Campbell, HM Ambassador to the Holy See.  As some of you may recall, last March HE Francis Campbell, with film crew in toe, made a formal visit to the Centre for Catholic Studies, in the course of which he gave two presentations, visited the Chaplaincy, shared in Evensong at the Cathedral, visited the tomb of St Cuthbert with Bishop Seamus, and shared in a dinner at the VC’s residence. 

 The series of programmes relate to this and other aspects of the Ambassadors work and will run for three weeks.  Durham footage is at the start (7-8 minutes) of week 2 (24  February).  The programmes can be viewed live in the UK via Sky and from the following morning for seven days via BBC i-player.

Jack Scollen RIP wrote a wonderful history of the parish of St Godric in 1964 to mark the parish’s centenary. This has now been reproduced with the help of the Centre for Catholic Studies, in slightly updated form, and is available at the back of St Godric’s, St Bede’s, and St Joseph’s for £4.00 per copy, payable directly to the parish. Alternatively, you may wish to contact the centre to obtain your copy.
