This includes the ways in which we publicly express our faith. It is very clear that, follow- ing official advice and in order to keep each other safe, save lives and support the NHS, at this time we must not gather for public acts of worship in our churches.

They will be a focal point of prayer, where you will find solace and strength. In visiting our churches at this time, we will observe with great care the practices of hygiene and the guidance on social dis- tancing. However, the celebration of Mass, Sunday Tributes paid to by Sunday and day by day, will take place without a public congregation.

At St John’s Cathedral in Norwich Bishop Alan Hopes was the main celebrant of the Ash Wednesday evening Mass, and led the blessing and distribu- tion of ashes, using the words: “Repent and believe the Gospel.” “Along our journey we are called to enter into a relationship with God,” he said in his homily. “Over the next six weeks the Church calls us to accompany Jesus on His journey. “To start the ball rolling,” the bishop pro- posed, “choose one of the Gospels and just read a short passage each day… There is so much joy and peace in know- ing and discovering God’s presence. “If something has gone wrong in a rela- tionship with someone, Lent is a time to seek healing and reconciliation.” Bishop Alan encouraged his listeners to Some positive “make a space for themselves” and at the same time to engage in prayer, fasting and giving. “Friday is a good day to miss a thoughts from meal altogether,” he suggested. “May the Lord,” he concluded, “grant us Pope Francis all a faithful and fruitful Lent.” n Pope Francis has written some thoughts giving a more positive out- look to the current situation: “Tonight before falling asleep think Fr Sandro talks of about when we will return to the street.

    CATHOLIC LIFE NEWSLETTER St. Edmund Campion Pray for Us Dear Parents and Carers The end of our academic year is not how we envisaged when we started out on our school journey on the 2nd September 2019. Every aspect of school life has been disrupted – not least those students who had been preparing for their GCSE’s or ‘A’ level exams. From a Catholic Life point of view we were unable to complete our usual liturgical and prayer services that we had planned for Lent in preparation for the great feast of Easter. However, through the modern technology that we now have we have been able to maintain our links to our families and friends, our school and our church. Praying together as a member of all these groups we belong to has been made possible by the live streaming of mass and other resources for prayer and reflection that have been made available to us. Communication between us can take many forms and I would like to share with you this uplifting blessing for us from those who cannot communicate verbally but use Makaton signing: https://youtu.be/va048-XxFTI As we approach the end of term CAFOD (Catholic Agency for Overseas Development) have produced a National Assembly for all children in our country. The theme of the assembly is for our summer to be a ‘TIME OF HOPE’. Please take the time to share this with your children: https://youtu.be/Fk8XTLhvL0s We have all been finding new ways of living our day to day lives over the last few months as we stayed at home.

It may seem to us, too, that the world around us is darkened and clouded by uncertainty and dissension. Deep divisions seem to shadow our soci - ety; divisions too about our nature and identity as a country and its place in the world, with no clear path visible where those who have disagreed might learn to walk forward together.

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.

    Barquilla de Ia Santa Maria BULLETIN of the Catholic Record Society­ Diocese of Columbus Vol. XVIII, No. 2 February, 1993 THE ANTE-POTATO FAMINE IRISH-CATHOLICS OF COLUMBUS by Donald M. Schlegel (Continued, from Vol. XVIII, No. 1) Locations in Columbus At their first settlement, the Irish Catholics scattered throughout the city in no apparant pattern. By the time of the 1850 census, we find families headed by one or both Irish-born parents fairly evenly distributed throughout that portion of the city lying north of Rich Street, with just a slightly higher proportion in the northern part of the city. Population Families -------------- ---------------------- Ward Location Total Irish Total Irish % Irish -born parentage 1 north of Gay 2994 291 576 62 11 2 Gay to State 2719 244 449 41 9 3 State to Rich 3114 189 501 40 8 4 Rich to Mound 4128 159 653 33 5 5 south of Mound 3794 21 729 8 1 (Figures exclude state and county institutions.) The 1850 census and city directory allow the residences of the known Irish Catholics of the city to be determined with some accuracy for that year. From analysis of these sources, it appears that, although the Irish Catholics were generally scattered, there were also in the city three small concentrations of them (enclaves would be too strong a word). These were, (a) near Spring & Third, James Sheridan, James Handiboe, James Hughes, and James McGuire; (b) on Water St. (now Marconi) between Long & Spring, Margaret Burns, William Mahoney, Owen Donan, Peter Donahoe, and John Early (probably others of the Irish living there were also Catholics); (c) Gay Street between High & Third, Michael Moran, John Larkin, Frank Sheridan, and Thomas Callaghan (likewise, probably others of the Irish living there were Catholics).

The key to the Trinity is to understand that the three persons who make it up totally love each other and are completely involved in each other's acBons. This is important because it provides us with an important clue we need to understand ourselves. We need to know that we were created in love, with this dignity and love of God to humanity, we are made in the image and likeness of God. This past week, we have witnessed the horrific killing of George Floyd, subsequently many people triggered by the brutal killing are marching in solidarity to condemn and stand against the presence of racism and the injusBce people have been suffering for many years in the US. This goes against the basic belief of ChrisBanity. This problem is not limited to America but it exists in many parts of the world. Racism and discriminaBon of any kind goes against human dignity. As we celebrate the unity and love of the Holy Trinity, we ask for a spirit of reconciliaBon and forgiveness among human beings and pray that we all learn to respect the value and dignity of each individual.
