Today is the Sunday of The Word of God

A day to be devoted to the celebration, study and dissemination of the Word of God”. The Bible is the book of the Lord’s people, who, in listening to it, move from dispersion and division towards unity. The word of God unites believers and makes them one people.

White Flower Appeal 2022 – Second Collection

The Society for the Protection of Unborn Children is currently campaigning to protect Pro-Life speech. Pro-life witness is being restricted now more than ever; we must be able to speak freely to protect unborn babies.  Please be as generous as you can to help SPUC defend unborn babies and their mothers from this new attack.

How You Can Answer The Holy Father’s Call

Play Your Part in The Synod

Dear friends in Christ, I hope you have had a wonderful Christmas and I’m praying for a happy and healthy 2022 for all of us.

As you know, the church is currently involved in a Synodal process. Confession: I had to look up what that meant and how we were all supposed to be involved. The Church wants us to take stock of where we are as a parish community, a diocesan community, a world community and to look forward to where we should be headed and how to achieve the goals we need to reach.
