Pastoral Letter from our Bishop

Click here to read the pastoral letter from Bishop Malcolm to be read in all our Churches this weekend. We will all have heard the letter at Mass, but it is worth another look. Even if we don't read the whole letter, it would be good to take the final paragraph to heart:
Above all, the visit should be a time of great joy for us. To have our spiritual Father with us must be a source of happiness and I am sure that that happiness will sustain us on our Christian pilgrimage. Playing our part, however we can, is important. And so I ask all of you this week to pray for the success of the visit, both individually and as church communities. Many people will be able to be present at the events; but if you cannot be there, please follow the visit’s progress through the media and in the Magnificat booklets available to all. Above all let us pray that the graces of the visit will honour our Lord Jesus Christ, who is the source of all life and goodness, and that in turn, we are renewed in the Spirit to proclaim the Good News wherever we may
be.
