Sunday is a day of prayer for migrants and refugees across the world. In his message for this day, Pope Francis encourages us to work for an ever wider "WE" in the human family reaching out to the needs of everyone. He writes:
"I also make this appeal to journey together towards an ever wider “we” to all men and women, for the sake of renewing the human family, building together a future of justice and peace, and ensuring that no one is left behind."
Let us keep this intention in prayer and work to support migrants and refugees in our own communities.

This special time of prayer and action began on 1st September and continues until 4th October. As part of this time you are invited to an initial meeting for a Diocesan Climate Action Meeting on 16th September 7pm-9pm via Zoom. 

​Why not join this meeting if you want to find out more about what we can do to bring change and avoid a climate disaster in our world. Please sign up for the meeting following the link from the Diocesan website.

During the month of September we are delighted to have with us on pastoral placement Jonathan Henry. He will be starting his second year of formation for the priesthood in Rome this October. We keep him in our prayers as well as all our seminarians.
