Don’t forget that we’re holding a Holy hour concluding with Benediction, tomorrow evening at 6pm in the Aquinas hall. This photo is from last year, with the faithful, some of our discerners and clergy present.

Archbishop Mark took all the priests (and our new Deacon Dale Cutlan), who are part of the Wales and Herefordshire World Youth Day pilgrimage to Portugal, to lunch in Fatima this afternoon. It’s been a very tiring but very rewarding experience, with homilies, confessions, Mass every day and spiritual reflections shared, not to mention the personal accompaniment of our young people. It’s been a privilege to see the hard work of our volunteer leaders and the wonderful behaviour of our young Pilgrims as they discover more about their Catholic faith.

Travelling as a priest to World Youth Day is an incredible experience; the opportunity to celebrate Mass with literally thousands of other priests and hundreds of bishops for hundreds of thousands of pilgrims, who have journeyed from all over the world, hearing confessions and leading catechesis. Priesthood is a life, which involves great sacrifice, but the consolations are even greater. Thanks to Fr Matt Roche Saunders for the middle group photo.

We have produced a short newsletter with vocations news to mark vocations Sunday and the priest training fund appeal this weekend. Inside, you will see some news as to what's happening in terms of promotional events and an overview of what discernment looks like
