The John Bradburne Memorial Society will be hosting an event at Buckfast Abbey, South Devon this coming Saturday, 10th June 2023 at 12 noon, to commemorate his 102nd birthday.

John had a special place in his heart for the Abbey, as this was where he converted to Catholicism. The Cause for Beatification for Bradburne is now in full swing and it is possible he could become England's next Saint. This is a rare opportunity to learn about Bradburne's saintly life and meet the people making this happen.

UPDATE:

The JBMS is creating a tribute video to John this year, with supporters submitting 'John Bradburne in one word' videos. These would have people saying what their word is and then explaining it.
