The Launch of Stand Up for Vatican II

Stand up for Vatican II is a campaign designed to involve the whole Church and we hope that many Catholic organisations and individuals who recognise the benefits the Second Vatican Council brought to the Church will join with us in this.

We want to make the occasion of the forty fifth anniversary of the end of the Second Vatican Council in 2010 an opportunity for our Church to celebrate all that the Council achieved and stands for;  to petition our Bishops to re-commit themselves to the teachings of the Council and to implement programmes for the further renewal of our church along the lines that the Council promulgated.

You can join in this celebration by campaigning locally for a celebratory Mass to be said in your Diocesan Cathedral and your local parish. You can also sign the petition asking your local Bishop to the teachings of the Council and to implement programmes for the further renewal of our Church in line with the Decrees promulgated by the Council.

On this site you will find articles of interest regarding the Second Vatican Council, links to other sites which may be of interest to you, you can add your personal comments in answer to the question Why I am standing up for Vatican II?

And most importantly you can sign the petition which will be presented to the Bishops of England a Wales at the end of 2010.
