The Working Document for the Continental Stage of the Synod has been posted on our dedicated page. Entitled Enlarge the Space of Your Tent, it summarises the responses gathered from the first phases of the synod. The document will be considered by each of the Continental Assemblies, with their work contributing to the final 'Instrumentum Laboris' (to be completed by June 2023). This will provide the foundation for discussions between the Bishops in Rome this October.

The European Continental Assembly will take place in Prague, Czech Republic, from 5-12 February 2023. Further details about the Assembly can be found here.

The parish held a send-off ceremony at St. Michaels on Sunday 8th January 2023, to celebrate Sr. Rita for her selfless service for five years. Sr. Rita is set to continue her good works in India as her memorable time with outstanding contributions in the parish especially at St. Michaels and St. Edmunds School come to an end. The ceremony was attended by many parishioners with lots to eat and drink. Many showered her with presents, words of appreciation and encouragement as she embarks on a new journey. Msgr. Mark Crisp concluded with a farewell speech highlighting the fact that many will miss Sr. Rita not only for her good works, but also her warm smile and kindness.
