Second Collection in support of the Catholic Communications Network, to be
taken 31 May/1 June.
On this weekend, parishioners are asked to pray for all those professionals who work in the field of communications. A particular intention for prayer is for those who are responsible for communicating on behalf of the Catholic Church in this country. The communications office of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales supports the bishops, in their witness and engagement with current issues and the Church more widely in promoting the Gospel through the digital, social, print and broadcast media. The office is the central point for media enquiries and is a key resource for national and international media professionals. It also plays an important role in developing the public profile of the Church through word and image.

St John’s Catholic Cathedral West Window restoration
The total cost of the restoration is expected to be more than £100,000. Along with local parishioners, the wider Diocese who benefit from attending many services such as Confirmations, Ordinations, celebration Mass, visits of Relics etc. at the Cathedral are encouraged to donate any amount, perhaps in memory of a loved one, to help with the cost of the restoration. Cheques may be sent directly to the cathedral or paid into the cathedral parish bank account (CDP St John’s Cathedral; Sort code 30-93-04; Account number 0088 3884). People may also text WINDOW to 70560 to donate £10 to the appeal. Texts cost the donation amount plus one standard network rate message, and donors will receive periodic updates on the campaign. To donate without being updated, text WINDOWNOINFO instead.
The names of donors will be recorded in a special commemorative book at the Cathedral.

As the dreadful events unfold in Ukraine, we stand in solidarity with our Caritas colleagues, (who work as the Diocese’s outreach organisation) in Caritas-Spes as they continue to assist those vulnerable and in need in Ukraine.
Caritas-Spes had been working in Eastern Ukraine with the displaced families from the ongoing conflict in the disputed territories, including in Avdiivka which has been under heavy shelling.
If you would like to support Caritas work in the emergency in Ukraine, please donate by visiting their website:
You can also help by donating to international charities, like DEC, who are working so hard to raise funds to help the
Ukrainians in this time of crisis:
