His Eminence Cardinal Burke to visit Ramsgate
His Eminence Cardinal Raymond Burke will visit St Augustine’s on 9th March. He will celebrate Mass at 6.30pm.
Rome-to-Ramsgate
Cardinal Burke resides in Rome and will be travelling to the Shrine of St Augustine which commemorates that other great evangelising Roman: St Augustine of Canterbury, Apostle of the English. The visit of the cardinal demonstrates the continuous link of the Catholic Church with the pope in Rome; St Augustine is known to have had strong relations with the pope who sent him to these shores, Pope Gregory the Great.
The Cardinal will celebrate a Votive Mass of St Augustine at the High Altar of the Shrine and preach. Mass will be sung by The Victoria Consort and will begin at 6.30pm.

Cardinal Burke is a co-author of the book Remaining in the Truth of Christ: Marriage and Communion in the Catholic Church (Pictured left column)
