layewell_r.jpgThe trip to Ladyewell dovetails quite nicely with our recent posts. The uncle of Fr. Luiz Ruscillo (who spoke so well at The Faith, The Family, The Future conference last weekend in St. Albans) is none other than the great Canon Benedict Ruscillo. 

Father Benedict is another priest who had a big impact on me when I used to visit Ladyewell as a young man. He was the chaplain at Ladyewell from 1987 until 2005 and in that time worked very hard with a team of lay people to develop the house and land into a renewed place of prayer and pilgrimage giving a special place of honour to the cult of the English Martyrs.

He is pictured above in Ladyewell House beneath the image of the Divine Mercy on the day he was made a Canon by Bishop Patrick O'Donoghue in 2002.
