4th Week of Easter 2020
In this Sunday’s Gospel Jesus condemns the religious leaders who claimed to be shepherds of the people as ‘thieves and brigands’. He is a shepherd who knows his sheep, who calls them by name, whose voice they recognise and follow. In these dark times we hold fast to the Lord asking him to protect us from all that can harm us.
Bishop Alan has written a Pastoral Letter which can be accessed by clicking here.
We are in the process of having the parish website redesigned. The new site should be more functional and attractive, and hopefully include a (supervised) page where parishioners can write their own news, prayer intentions, etc. Please send any suggestions on what you’d like to see included to John “bolger@waitrose.com”
