“Seventy years of Soviet Communism left in its wake great suffering on the face of the earth – but with it, God brought forth the witness of millions of martyrs for Christ.
These holy witnesses provide us with countless examples of the Gospel in practice in everyday life, examples which are most relevant in our own day.
In this series of talks, Father John Whiteford will provide a glimpse behind the Iron Curtain at the face of the Suffering Church.
His insights will offer lessons desperately needed in a world where privacy, freedom, and even the notion of what it means to be human are today often called into question.
Join us for this rare and poignant talk, where we will walk in the footsteps of the suffering saints of a past generation, and draw strength from their witness.
You will not want to miss this recollection of the saints of our era, and the great legacy they offer to us today.”

Unfortunately I was unable to attend this first talk in the series, but a friend thankfully recorded the audio of it and shared it with me so I could share with you. I’ve cleaned and amplified the recording and did what I could concerning the minor clipping the on track, it actually sounds quite good and Fr. Geoffrey is quite clear.
