The Vatican cricket team...

...visits Britain next week. Founder of the  project is the Australian ambassador to the Holy See, HE John McCarthy.  The team recently met Pope Francis, who signed a cricket bat for them.

Auntie will be at the match next Friday in Kent when the Vatican team takes on a Church of England team. You can read more about it here  and here...

I first heard about this venture while in Rome, talking to the McCarthys, and it has been fun watching the project take shape. It's a good initiative and in addition to spreading ecumenical goodwill, it will raise funds for an international charity working to end slavery.
