Sohrab Ahmari is the former op-ed editor of the New York Post and the author of 'The Unbroken Thread: Discovering the Wisdom of Tradition in an Age of Chaos'. Sohrab's journey from a secular upbringing in Islamic Iran to his conversion to Catholicism in London gives him a truly unique perspective on how the wisdom of The Catholic Faith can answer today's biggest questions.

Fr Toby Lees OP

Fr Toby is a Dominican priest, University Chaplain at King's College London and Priest Director of Radio Maria England. He will be tackling the topic of faith and reason, answering the question, 'is faith reasonable?'

Lord Maurice Glasman

Lord Maurice Glasman is a political theorist, social commentator, academic at St May’s University and director of the Common Good Foundation. Lord Glasman's discovery of Catholic Social Teaching shaped his social and political thinking and we're excited to have him speaking on the topic of politics.

Emily is the Director of Communications for the Alliance of Pro-Life Students, a group that helps young people, particularly those at university, to be empowered to speak out about life issues. At the Summit, Emily will explore what a life-affirming society looks like, our individual responsibility towards bringing it about and how we can resist 'throwaway culture'.

Questions & Answers

What are Summits?

Summits are three separate one-day conferences hosted by St Patrick's Catholic Church in Soho in collaboration with Peter's House and supported by The Guild of Our Lady of Ransom. Each of the three Summits are unique to the other, with their own them, speakers, and timetable. However, all of the Summits are focused on exploring the Catholic faith and framed with Holy Mass and Eucharistic Adoration.

Who are they for?

The Summits are aimed at any Catholic seeking to go deeper in their faith and explore meaning in the areas of wisdom, spirituality, and creativity. However, we believe that anyone, Catholic or otherwise, will find great value in the content from our speakers and contributors.

Where will they be?

The Summits will be held at St Patrick's Catholic Church, Soho Square, London, UK.

What time do they start?

The Summits begin with Mass at 10am and end at approximately 9pm with Adoration and Benediction.

Can I buy a ticket for all three summits?

This year, we're only offering tickets for each of the days, not all three days. You are welcome to attend all three dates, though you will have to book tickets for each of them.

Can I pick where I want to sit?

Seating is not allocated and will be available on a first come first serve basis.

Are meals provided?

Lunch will be provided and is included in your ticket cost.
Supper is not provided, though St Patrick's is located in the heart of London's West End, where you can find eateries of all kinds! If you're looking to make a reservation, each of the Summits will break for supper from 5pm – 6:30pm.

What is the timetable?

The full timetable for the Summits will be released in the weeks leading up to each one, though we will begin with Mass at 10am and end with Adoration and Benediction at 9pm.

Is there a minimum age?

Attendees to the event must be 18 years or older unless accompanied by their parent or guardian. Parents should note that the content of the Summits may not be appropriate for young children.

We're delighted that, with the help of Catholic Mothers UK, we will have an on-site crèche for all three Summits. If you're coming along with your children, let us know when you get your ticket and we will reserve a place. For ages 2 and up.

Are children welcome?

We are excited to be able to offer you a creche at the Summits so that you can enjoy the event knowing that your children are having fun too. If you do require a place in the creche please let us know.

Is there accommodation?

Unfortunately, there is no accommodation at St Patrick's Church. However, if you need to stay in London, St Patrick's is surrounded by hotels.

Can I bring my luggage with me?

We do not have the facilities to store luggage at St Patrick's and we advise not to bring any luggage with you.

I'm a Catholic priest, can I concelebrate in Mass?

Yes, if you sign up we will be in touch to make necessary checks and give you the information you need.
