From the bishops' diaries TWO events dominate the bishops' diaries

this week. The first is the 50th anniversary celebrations on Monday and Tuesday at Stonyhurst College of the Roman Association, past students of the Venerable English College in Rome. Fr Hugh Lavery told the story of the college's war-time evacuation to Stonyhurst in last week's Catholic Herald.
Among those attending are Bishop Cormac MurphyO'Connor of Arundel and Brighton, Bishop Alan Clark of East Anglia, Bishop John Brewer of Lancaster, Bishop Patrick Kelly of Salford, Bishop Crispian Hollis of Portsmouth and Archbishop Derek Worlock of Liverpool.
Archbishop Worlock will also be attending the forthcoming week's other major event, the Congress of Black Catholics starting on Friday (July 13) at Digby Stuart College in Roehampton, south west London (see report, page five).
Bishop James O'Brien, auxiliary in Westminster, Mervyn Alexander of Clifton, Philip Pargeter, auxiliary in Birmingham and Howard Tripp, John Jukes and Charles Henderson, all auxiliaries in Southwark, will join Cardinal Basil Hume and Archbishop Michael Bowen of Southwark at the event.
Bishop John Crowley, auxiliary in Westminster, will be directing a retreat at St Beuno's in north Wales all this week, while Archbishop Maurice Couve de Murville of Birmingham blesses a new building at St Thomas Aquinas Comprehensive at Northfield on Friday evening after leading a retreat for diocesan priests at Oscott College all week.
Ordinations are once more an encouraging feature of the forthcoming week. Cardinal Hume ordains Br Cletus in the cathedral on Sunday (July 8) afternoon, while Bishop Clark welcomes Richard White into the priesthood at Bury St Edmunds the following Saturday. Bishop Kelly ordains Edmund Admaus at Crumpsall
