Moments from our Youth Day last Saturday! 💙

Games in the sports hall, a question box, football and rounders, a packed room for the talk, pizza for lunch, crafts, and Mass to finish the day. So many smiles from start to finish.

A huge thank you to every young person who came, to our volunteers, and to the parishes and schools who made it possible.

What a Saturday! 🙌

Last weekend young people from across the diocese came together for our Youth Day, and the hall was full of energy from start to finish. Games, laughter, new friends, great conversations and plenty of time to stop and be with God.

Thank you to everyone who came, to our amazing volunteers, and to all the parishes who brought their young people along. You made the day what it was.

We can't wait to do it again! 💙

What a weekend! 16 of our Mission Team spent 18 October at Saint Columba's House in Woking, led by Bishop Gerard Bradley and Fr Dermott O'Gorman.

Full hearts, great company and so much joy. Please keep the team in your prayers as they step into another year of mission!

Who wrote the laws of nature?

Every law in this country came from a lawgiver. A government wrote it.
Now look at the universe. It runs on laws too. Gravity. Motion. Order that never slips.
Laws like that do not write themselves.
It is not a knockdown proof. It is not meant to be.
But it is reasonable. Order and purpose point to a lawgiver.
St Thomas gave five ways to reason toward God. This is one of them.
With the evidence in front of us, it is reasonable to say God is real.

Save this for the next time someone says faith is not rational.

Moments from our Mission Team retreat at Saint Columba's House, Woking!

The retreat included talks, adoration, silence and prayer. We shared our vision for evangelisation as we prepare to commit for another year of mission.

Thank you to Bishop Gerard Bradley and Fr Dermott O'Gorman for leading us, and to all 16 of the team who came. Keep them in your prayers!
