APPOINTMENT OF BISHOP PAUL MASON AS BISHOP OF THE FORCES: it has been announced that Pope Francis has appointed Bishop Paul Mason to be the next Bishop of the Forces. Archbishop Peter says that although this is good news for the Bishopric of the Forces and, hopefully for Bishop Paul, it is with sadness that this will mean that he will soon leave the Diocese for pastures new. Please pray for Bishop Paul, and all the people he will serve especially the clergy attached to the Forces.

ADOREMUS UPDATE FROM CCF: 16th July is the last day of applications for anyone interested in attending the Eucharistic Congress held in Liverpool from 7 - 9 September. Applications for delegates must be sent to the Centre for Catholic Formation, Tooting Bec. ADOREMUS UPDATE FROM CAFOD: 7-9 SEPTEMBER 2018: We are busy preparing for Adoremus in September. Some of our volunteers are part of the Welcome team at the Eucharistic Congress in Liverpool. We have produced some resources to enable people to engage more deeply with different aspects of the Eucharistic Mystery. Our Eucharist in the World workshops explore the links between the Eucharist and the call for us, as Catholics, to live out love, compassion and justice in our everyday lives. These resources, plus a prayer inspired by a pastoral letter from Bishop Patrick McKinney of Nottingham are all available at cafod.org.uk/eucharist We hope you find them useful. Please do share them with your Adoremus parish representatives, or with your parishioners as part of your preparation for the Congress.
