Parish Renewal and Mission
Following the fruitful Mission by the Friars of the Renewal during Lent, the death of Pope Francis, election of Pope Leo and the situation of our schools, Fr David proposes to have an open meeting on Wednesday 11th June at 7pm to 8pm. The purpose of the meeting is to firstly to understand the context and the nature of the changes which are happening in the church today and from this begin to develop ways of adapting our parish to embrace this change. To help with this please read the following: From Christendom to Apostolic Mission: Pastoral Strategies for an Apostolic Age University of Mary (available on Amazon £8 Kindle); “The pastoral conversion of the Parish community in the service of the evangelising mission of the Church”, of the Congregation for the Clergy (from Vatican Website) ; The Quiet Revival: read summary or download the full report.

Jubilee Year 2025
The Jubilee Year began on December 24, 2024, when Pope Francis opened the Holy Door in St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome. The Church first declared a Holy Year in 1300 and has continued ever since. This Jubilee Year will run until January 6, 2026 and is an occasion for the Church to seek renewal, to undergo a ‘reset’. This Holy Year invites us to deepen and renew the place of hope in our lives. Its theme is simply that we are ‘Pilgrims of Hope’ which is meant to be a time to share the hope of the Christian faith for a world suffering the impacts of war, the ongoing effects of COVID-19 pandemic, and the climate crisis. It is intended to be a time to:
- Grow in faith and prayer life
- Re-establish a relationship with God, others, and creation
- Live out the mission of Jesus as stated in Luke 4:16-21
The Bishops’ Conference and CAFOD have produced resources for the Jubilee in the Catholic Church. Visit https://www.cbcew.org.uk/jubilee-2025/ and https://cafod.org.uk/pray/jubilee-2025

Scam email alert
There has been a concerning rise in scam emails targeting parishioners. These emails impersonate the parish priest, and typically request the recipient to purchase Amazon or other gift cards as gifts for the priest. We must emphasise:
- Never purchase gift cards as gifts for the parish priest, based on an email request, unless you verify the request directly in person or through a trusted means.
- Double-check any suspicious email by directly contacting the parish office.
- Avoid sharing personal or financial information in response to unsolicited emails.
If you encounter these emails, please report them as spam and inform the parish office immediately.
