Lucy writes: In a very busy month for the Guild of St Clare, we are marking an exciting first: the launch of a Chapter organised by students. The Dominicans at Blackfriars, Oxford have most kindly agreed to host this new group, which will meet monthly at weekends.

The annual LMS pilgrimage to Oxford, which takes place at Blackfriars |
The leader of the Chapter is Dorothea Shaw (a near relation of mine: in fact, my oldest daughter) who is in her third year of Classics at Jesus College, Oxford. Her fellow volunteers are also Oxford undergraduates, but the Chapter is open to any young person studying in Oxford, at any of the many centres of learning there.

The first meeting is on Sunday, 18th May at 1pm, and I will be there to meet the young people and introduce them to the art of vestment mending. For more information, or to join the Chapter, email Dorothea at gosc.oxfordstudents@lms.org.uk
