It’s time to join the Friends of St. George
APRIL RESOLUTION
JOIN THE FRIENDS OF ST. GEORGE
In the last financial year The Saint George Educational Trust awarded nearly ninety-two-thousand pounds to associations of Catholic laity who are developing all sorts of exciting social, cultural and educational projects aimed at rebuilding and restoring Christendom.
The Friends of St. George play a vital auxiliary role in this important work of the Trust and help make these actions possible
Friends of St. George help SGET fund projects, raise grant monies, and publish materials aimed at planting seeds to encourage the conversion of lost generations of socially-bewildered and spiritually-blinded souls.
By becoming a Friend of St. George you can help us this coming year and beyond to fund a new endeavour aimed at creating a structured programme of university-level Christian education networked to thousands of young people in Europe and throughout the English-speaking world.
You can help us fund an exciting vision created by a world-class musical artist to bring Gregorian and Byzantine Chant to hundreds of thousands, perhaps even millions, of lost souls still open to traditional European cultural and spiritual inspiration. And this in an electrifying and stunningly visual manner that cannot but succeed in positively stirring-up heart and soul,.
You can help us with these two immense projects and much more besides.
The Saint George Educational Trust is a U.K.-based charitable trust, registered with the Charity Commission in England and Wales, but Friends of St George can be found in any and every corner of the world. FOSG endeavour to make the small sacrifice of donating the equivalent sum of just one pound per day to The Saint George Educational Trust. This can be done by online banking, electronic transfer or by standing order. Donation can be made either once a month or annually. UK taxpayers should get in touch and request a Gift Aid form from us so that the taxman adds extra revenue to donations.
Sacrificing the price of a short-hop bus ride, a newspaper, a chocolate bar or a cup of coffee every day is surely not too much to ask for the rebuilding of Christian social order?
Help us make that social reconstruction a growing reality by joining with the Friends of St. George, and may God bless you abundantly for it.
Let us work together to build the Kingship of Christ “on earth as it is in Heaven.”

Flee to the Fields
Food is quickly disappearing from the supermarket shelves and being replaced with great difficulty (if at all).
The country can’t feed itself because most food is imported from foreign lands.
But coronavirus is locking down countries and preventing international trade, imports and exports.
The back-to-the-land, family farm, grow-your-own, small-is-beautiful, ethic of Catholic social doctrine is proven time and time again in times of crisis to be uncommon common sense in a nonsensical world.
Spring is coming. Get planting. Keep chickens and other small livestock if you can.
Fields, back-garden, front-lawn, window boxes, raised-beds, community wasteland. It doesn’t matter. Get planting and grow your own.
If not with coronavirus, starvation will inevitably come with a vengeance during some other crisis.
Get planting and flee to the fields.

Integral Christianity
The first volume of the complete works of the outstanding 1940’s – 1950’s U.S. Catholic magazine Integrity is a must-read for anyone who’s serious about living the Faith.
“Born in 1911 and 1916 respectively, Carol Robinson and Ed Willock co-founded Integrity magazine in October 1946 in New York City …….. Integrity writers were under no illusion that American-style liberal democracy was the solution to atheistic communism. They unashamedly called for the conversion of the West to the Catholic Faith.
……. It is fair to categorise Willock, as well as Robinson, as being of the same calibre and of the same anti-modernist, anti-Americanist school of thought as Fr. Clifford Fenton and Fr. Francis J. Connell, American priests who, during the mid-20th century, warred against Liberal Catholics like Fr. John Courtney Murray (the main architect of Vatican II’s document on religious liberty).
……. Unfortunately, their wholly orthodox, Aquinas-inspired theology was scrapped at Vatican II and replaced by the so-called “new theology” pushed by the likes of Council periti Yves Congar, a progressive French Dominican who was censured in the decades prior. The Church has been suffering ever since.”
All men must bow the knee to the kingship of Christ
“We firmly hope, however, that the Feast of the Kingship of Christ, which in future will be yearly observed, may hasten the return of society to our loving Saviour. It is the duty of Catholics to do all they can to bring about this happy result. Many of these, however, have neither the station in society nor the authority which should belong to those who bear the torch of truth. This state of things may perhaps be attributed to a certain slowness and timidity in good people, who are reluctant to engage in conflict or oppose but a weak resistance; thus the enemies of the Church become bolder in their attacks. But if the faithful were generally to understand that it behoves them ever to fight courageously under the banner of Christ their King, then, fired with apostolic zeal, they would strive to win over to their Lord those hearts that are bitter and estranged from Him, and would valiantly defend His rights.
Moreover, the annual and universal celebration of the Feast of the Kingship of Christ will draw attention to the evils which anti-clericalism has brought upon society in drawing men away from Christ, and will also do much to remedy them. Whilst nations insult the beloved name of our Redeemer by suppressing all mention of it in their conferences and parliaments, we must all the more loudly proclaim His kingly dignity and power, all the more universally affirm His rights.”
Pope Pius XI, Quas primas, 1925
