Laudato Si

Dear friends and parishioners

The Bishops of England and Wales have issued a joint pastoral letter for Pentecost on Creation. The document “Laudato Si” of Pope Francis reminded us that this is a vital part of our faith and understanding of the reality in which we live. I encourage us all to listen at Mass or read on our website here what they have to say.

Archbishop George Stack’s landmark celebrations

Dear friends and parishioners

Last Sunday His Grace the Archbishop, George Stack, celebrated his 75th birthday. It is at this point that bishops are to offer their resignation – but it does not have to be accepted by Rome, based on health, circumstances etc. He also celebrated 20 years as a bishop.

As he, and we, await a response from Rome, we congratulate him on these landmarks, and remember him in our prayers as he too continues on his journey of faith.
