CCF Director Juliet Donoghue had the pleasure of attending a parliamentary reception last Wednesday as a guest of Martin Vickers MP, alongside the Albanian and Kosovar Ambassadors, to celebrate the pastoral visit of Cardinal Ernest Simoni Troshani to the Albanian Catholic community in the UK.
Cardinal Simoni, 98, spent 28 years imprisoned for his faith under Albania’s communist regime. It was an inspiring reception, filled with remarkable stories, and a privilege for the CCF to support the Albanian Catholic community here in the UK.
