What’s On
Parish Trip
Ampleforth Abbey
This long anticipated trip, didn’t disappoint! Whilst the Abbey basked in glorious sunshine, we took the opportunity for Mass, prayer, and amongst other activities, an excellent guided tour of the Abbey church and crypt.
As one parishioner described,
“sung Vespers in the Monks’ choir, brought a perfect day to a close.”

‘Hope does not disappoint: Finding meaning in suffering.’
In a video interview on the subject, Archbishop John Sherrington, the Lead Bishop for Life Issues, explains how Christ accompanies us in our suffering and, while he understands that this is difficult for non-believers to understand, this can give it a redemptive quality.
