For the humble, vulnerable and pastoral priest I met in Rome, Pope Francis. I'm sorry I will not see you again in this life, but with god's mercy I will meet you again in the next. Until then, be at peace. You are not gone, you are just not here now.
Prayer For Pope Francis, RIP 🕊️

We were deeply saddened to learn of the death of long-term supporter and tireless fundraiser Edgar Riches in Kenya.
A kind and inspirational man, he will be sorely missed but his legacy will live on in his parish and with the communities he supported. May he rest in peace.

🤍Happy Ash Wednesday All🤍
✝️Our Diocesan Administrator Canon Paul Cummins has shared some poignant words of encouragement and spiritual guidance for the Jubilee Lenten season, reflecting on how we can journey as pilgrims of hope and renew our relationship with God.
Yesterday, the Prime Minister announced another cut to the aid budget, the lowest level since 1999. More people will die, and many more will lose their livelihoods. This is scandalous.
Contact your MP urgently and ask them to take action.
