Topics covered and discussed will include 'Scripture and the Parish', 'Scripture and the Church', 'Scripture and prayer' amongst others.

They will welcome a rich variety of speakers including Bishop Rowan Williams, who will deliver the keynote address and preside at the Solemn Mass.

The preacher at the Mass will be Sr Helen Costigane, SHCJ, who currently teaches and researches in Heythrop College. She is also currently the Academic Vice Principal there.

To end the day, there will be sung Evensong and Pontifical Benediction. Benediction will be given by the Bishop of Fulham, the Rt Revd Jonathan Baker.
