The Golden Thread of Faith: EWTN series sponsored by the LMS

The Latin Mass Society is the sponsor and co-producer of a new three-part series on the Catholic Faith in Wales. The series includes footage of the LMS Pilgrimage to Holwell last year, which was led by Bishop Rifan of Campos, Brazil.

It will be broadcast from 10th June; in due course the LMS will be able to sell DVDs of the series. Here's the EWNT schedule for that day.

I've seen an early draft of it, it is both fun and informative.
