This consultation process will give all involved with our community of Catholic schools the chance to ask questions about this exciting proposal. I am confident that the proposed 3-16 Catholic school in Cwmbran will be a strong and nurturing environment. I know the school will build on the ethos, success and achievements already recognised in the three separate schools it will replace. It will continue to build on the high standards of its feeder primaries by working in ever closer partnership with them. Our children deserve nothing less. Consultations on this proposal and a similar one for Merthyr will be taking place this Autumn.

The Papal Nuncio to Great Britain, Archbishop Antonio Mennini, speaking on behalf of Pope Francis, said: “It gives me great joy to be here today for the installation of your new Archbishop, especially as you have chosen this particular day of St Joseph the Worker. This marks a new beginning for you all.” Following the Gospel, Archbishop Malcolm McMahon gave an inspiring homily during which he highlighted the Hillsborough inquests as a shining example of the search for truth. Archbishop McMahon said that justice will be done for the 96 people who lost their lives and for their relatives. He said the families of the victims had shown a dignity over the last quarter century, which was an example to everybody. "God has endowed the people of Liverpool, Lancashire and the Isle of Man with many great gifts, not least constancy in our Catholic faith,” he said. “The Martyrs of Lancashire testify to their love of Jesus’ name and their fidelity to the truth.

Father John gave so much to Scouting over many years, both at national and international levels and he will be sorely missed by a great number of people. He represented us in Europe and beyond, giving a wonderful example of chaplaincy to the Scouting Movement. His work with Gilwell Park, as National Faith Adviser, did much to keep Faith on the national agenda. Within Catholic Scouting in England & Wales, his devotion to the young people in his care was second-to-none. In Advent and Lent he would provide meditations and materials for Scouts, he was ever-present at NCSF Committee Meetings.
