- On Human Trafficking
- Interviewer.Have you been to human trafficking?
- Sister 1.Yes, I have, yes.
- Interviewer.How did you feel about that one?
- Sister 2.Distressing. And I would encourage lots of people to go and see it.
- Sister 3.I watched this video: it gives you a better insight, I think into what people are having to deal with and how people at a very young age are pushed into, you know, prostitution and things like that, without their knowledge.
- Sister 4.It’s a very moving experience and very difficult to stomach.
- Lady organiser outside.The human trafficking? I just came out. Is it still on?
- Interviewer.Yes.
- Lady organiser outside.I couldn’t stand it.
- Sister 5.You need to see this to realise it.
- Sister 3.I think everyone should have a look and go and watch it, because it’ll make a lot of difference to the trafficking.
- Sister 4.People get trapped in that situation and not realise that this is what they are coming into.
- Lady organiser outside.I couldn’t – I had to leave.
- Sister 6.It’s so widespread.
- Sister 3.... help like it being a vision and eye and being alert to what is happening around us and obviously if you feel you have time on your hands, you can always volunteer towards, maybe, any of the centres.
- Sister 5.Please do it and find them, but the government won’t give finance.
- Sister 4.How to help these people in, you know, who are trapped in this kind of work.
- Sister 7.... afraid to give any information because they will be, you know...
- Sister 8.... targeted ...
- Sister 7.Well they could be murdered. Anything could happen.
- Sister 3.It’s very informative, because when you think of human trafficking, you tend to think of places far away and not happening anywhere next to us.
- Sister 5.The trustees have accommodation to take these girls into safety, but they need funds, they’re desperate for funds.
- On Cafod and Mining
- Sister 7.... there and, you see, the farmer ploughing and the mine – the farmer loses his arm.
- Sister 4.Yes.
- Sister 7.They don’t kill so many people outright, but
- Sister 4 to male organiser.CAFOD and that was very interesting.
- Sister 7.... sell a mine for, I think, three dollars, but it takes a lot of pounds to get rid of it.
- Sister 4 to male organiser.I was interested in that because two years ago I went to Climate Change in the United Nations.
- General Views
- Interviewer.Hi, so how did you find the Expo so far?
- Sister 9.Nice.
- Sister 10.All different kinds of people and the Parish have made us very welcome.
- Sister 11.It’s a wonderful experience of all the different Congregations coming together.
- Sister 12.I’ll tell you what I found most interesting was the mix of people who came, you know: we had school children, we had adults and the different nationalities. It was very interesting.
- Sister 4.The whole experience. It was a very good experience. It was my first of something of this nature.
- Sister 10.... and it seems to be a very active Parish where everyone is involved and it’s nice to here with Religious of so many Congregations represented
- Lady organiser outside.Very interesting.
- Sister 11.It has been a very successful week, uh, four days, actually.
- Brother 1.Yes, I have been so inspired by this Expo, I’m becoming a nun!
- The Words of the Father
- Brother 2.Hi, my name is Dave Nixon and I’m a Priest of the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart. I’m from Coventry originally, based in Liverpool and I do Vocations work for the Order between the UK and Ireland.
- Vocations Expo was a very good idea and a good opportunity to meet all the different Religious Orders and the other people that had stands, like Cafod, those working with refugees and the [unclear]
- And it was great to have the event organised by the people in the Parish here in Hayes and they made me feel very welcome.
- And we were very well looked after and watered and fed and we met a lot of different people and students and schools and parishioners, people who dropped in, before and after Mass.
- I think it was a very successful event and, please God, it could be repeated again in the future, here and maybe in other parts of the country as well.
Father Michael Newman OH Speaks

Transcript
- Hello, I’m Michael Newman of Brothers St. John of God.
- I've found these last three or four days interesting.
- I think, not just to tell people about vocations, but to tell people about the work of the Church...
- and I think that’s a worthwhile and important aspect of evangelisation, but also of saying, “We’re a big, caring and evangelising group.”
- And the role of Brothers in that is significant, in particular in healthcare and in social deprivation.
- So, I found meeting people the key and proving our humanness, attentiveness and our caring, as well as our faith and our prayer.
- So, I’m glad I came.
