🌍 The World has changed. Our mission hasn't. We know the diagnosis: we are living in a "post-Christian" moment. It can feel overwhelming, or like the faith is something we have to hide.🤐 But what if being a missionary was for every one of us from priests to teenage students? What if all it took was changing how you show up in your own office, your local pub, or your family dinner table? In this lecture, we’ll explore: ✨ Authentic Witness: Why personal holiness (prayer and the Sacraments) is your greatest tool. ✨ The Creative Catechist: How to find "points of resonance" in everyday conversations. ✨ The Great Commission: A reminder that no baptised person is exempt from the call to share the Good News. Tickets are moving fast!🎟️💫 bit.ly/4t9EJ8C Location: St Patrick’s, Soho Square Date: 29th May | 7:00 PM #WorldMission #PostChristianChallenge #EverydayMissionary #AuthenticWitness #CreativeCatechist #GreatCommissionReminder #ShareTheGoodNews #FriendshipEvangelism #ReligiousEducationRevolution

THE WAIT IS OVER🚨 How do we live as witnesses in a world that has largely forgotten the Gospel?🤷‍♀️ On Friday 29th May 2026, the Guild of Our Lady of Ransom is proud to present Dr Caitlin West live at St Patrick’s Soho in her lecture "Living the Faith Out Loud". Following Pope Leo XIV’s timeless reminder that no baptised person is exempt from mission, we are moving from simply diagnosing our post-Christian culture to taking practical action. Whether you’re a catechist, student, young professional, or returning to faith... this night is for you.
