The Big Assembly
The Big Assembly is the name given to the Holy Father's Visit to St Mary's University College – 17th September 2010.
The theme for Pope Benedict XVI's 2010 visit to the UK is
Cor ad cor loquitur -
Heart speaks unto heart. Cardinal John Henry Newman chose the words as the motto to go on his coat of arms. Heart speaks unto heart is a fitting choice for this papal visit as, on the final day of his Apostolic Journey, the Holy Father will beatify Cardinal Newman - the much-loved Victorian theologian. A range of merchandising from IVSGroup (the official merchandisers for the Papal Visit 2010) has been specifically tailored to reflect this theme.
The merchandise store can be accessed through the
