For the next several weeks a series on 'The Sacraments' will be aired on Radio Maria.  The communities of Dominican brethren and sisters in Cambridge have collaborated to produce an ongoing programme to provide 'A solid and thoughtful understanding of Catholic teaching... enabling a deeper participation in Catholic life, growth in one’s relationship with God, and empowerment to witnessing to one’s faith in contemporary society.'  Follow the link here for further detail:  Radio Maria
