Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
One of the most joyful moments of the last year in the Diocese was the ordination of seven new priests, one new deacon and three permanent deacons. What a great moment of grace for us – a moment of humble thanks to the Lord for his great goodness and love towards us.
There are still five seminari - ans studying for the priest - hood and two men who are in a propadeutic year, working in Peterborough and Sawston. We also have three men studying for the permanent diaconate with two more being discerned.
Please pray for them all and pray for more to re - spond to God’s call to serve him across the Church.
November 17, 2019, saw the launch of Caritas East Anglia, with the appoint - ment of our Caritas Co-ordinator, Jacinta Goode, and with a lunch for homeless people in Norwich. The latter took place in the cathedral but was hosted by all our parishes with a representa - tive from each looking after one of our guests.
There will be events during the year around the Diocese to make the work of Caritas widely known. I am grateful to all our parishes for the ways in which you support the local work that is carried out amongst the most needy and marginalised in our society.
By the time you receive this Yearbook we will be about to begin The Year of the God who Speaks. This is to celebrate the 1,600th anniversary of the death of St Jerome who was a celebrated Scripture Scholar in the early Church. He painstakingly translated the Greek version of the Scriptures into Latin – the translation we know today as the Vulgate. He wrote many important commentaries on the Scriptures which are filled with deep spiritual wisdom.
It was St Jerome who said: “Ignorance of the Scriptures is ignorance of Christ”. This Year also commemorates the tenth anniversary of the Apostolic Exhortation of the 6 now Emeritus Pope Benedict, Verbum Domini, which is the most important document on the Word of God since the Second Vatican Council.
In it, Pope Benedict, summarised the reflections of the Synod Fathers who met in 2008 to discuss the 'word of God in the life and mission of the Church'. Among many practical suggestions, Pope Benedict called on parishes to devote time and effort to celebrations of the Word especially during the great liturgical seasons, that all Catholic families should own a Bible and keep it in a worthy place in the house, and that priests ensure their homilies "bring the scriptural message to life in a way that helps the faithful to realise that God's Word is present and at work in their everyday lives." (n. 59) The Pope reminds us that the Bible is not just simply a word from the past, but a living and timely word.
I hope that during this year, each parish, each priest, each family and each individual might explore ways in which we can make the above suggestions a reality in our own lives.
Finally, I wish to thank those who have played any part in the publication of this Yearbook. It is a record of the ongoing mission of our Diocese.
Be assured of my prayers and good wishes,

The Diocese of East Anglia is a suffragan diocese within the Province of Westminster, erected on 13 March 1976 by the decree Quod Ecumenicum of Pope Paul VI, using territory taken from the Diocese of Northampton, which was created in 1850. After the Reformation, the area of East Anglia was soon placed under the care of the Vicars Apostolic of the Midland District, and later of the Eastern District, until the hierarchy was restored by Pope Blessed Pius IX. Today, the Diocese incorporates the English counties of Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire and the city of Peterborough.
THE BISHOP The Rt Rev Alan Stephen Hopes BD AKC converted to Catholicism in 1994 and was ordained a priest of the Diocese of Westminster the following year. He worked in Kensington and Chelsea and later was appointed Vicar General of the Diocese. He was ordained to the episcopate by Cardinal Murphy-O’Connor in 2003, holding the title of Titular Bishop of Chester-le-Street, and serving as auxiliary bishop in Westminster, until he was appointed Bishop of East Anglia in 2013. He took possession of his cathedral in Norwich on 16 July 2013.
The Bishop’s Predecessors The Rt Rev Alan Charles Clark was the first bishop of the newly erected Diocese, from its creation in 1976 until his resignation in 1995. He was previously Titular Bishop of Elmham and Auxiliary Bishop of Northampton. He died in 2002 and is buried in Walsingham.
The Most Rev Peter David Smith was ordained Bishop of East Anglia by Cardinal Hume in 1995 and served as bishop until 2001, when he was translated to the See of Cardiff. In 2010, he became Archbishop of Southwark, until his retirement in 2019.
The Rt Rev Michael Charles Evans was ordained Bishop of East Anglia by Cardinal Murphy-O’Connor in 2003 and served the Diocese until his death in 2011. His corporal remains are buried in St John’s Cathedral in Norwich.

Caritas Development Worker for East Anglia, Jacinta Goode explains what Caritas East Anglia is all about and what she has been doing in the role.
I Caritas is a Latin word meaning ‘charity’ or ‘love in action.’ With that in mind, it’s easy to see why an international Catholic organisation calling itself Caritas is relevant to our faith and our mission in the world. After all, Jesus’ ministry and teaching was centred around how we are to love God and our neighbour.
Caritas is inspired by Scripture, Catholic Social Teaching and by the experiences and hopes of people who are disadvantaged and living in poverty. We are all called, as Christians, to offer charity – or love – to our neighbours. Jesus commands us to ‘love our neighbour as ourselves’. Indeed, Jesus goes on to tell us that on these two command - ments – ‘Love God’ and ‘love your neighbour as yourself’ – hang the whole Law! (Mt 22:37-40) So this ‘caritas’ – this ‘charity’ – this ‘love in action’ – seems to be central to what we Christians are about.
This is why Caritas was set up as an international Catholic organisation – to serve (love) God by serving (loving) our sisters and brothers in need. In England and Wales, Caritas reports to the Bishops Conference. Many dioceses (including our own) are members of the organisation, as are many charities - CAFOD, SVP, PACT and the Medaille Trust being some that are familiar to us here in East Anglia.
My role as the Caritas Development Worker is to oversee all of this love in action across the diocese. I am here to support existing projects and to help with new ones, to encour - age and co-ordinate the development of this vital part of our Catholic life.
In East Anglia, many people are doing charitable work – putting their faith into action – and it’s wonderful to see articles in every edition of Catholic East Anglia about these projects.
To celebrate the ways in which we’re putting our faith into action we will be holding a Diocesan Caritas Festival in 2020. This will take place in various locations around the diocese and will be an opportunity to showcase your organisation and celebrate what you do. It will also be the event to go to if you’d like to get involved, but don’t know how. You will be able to find out about lots of different projects, ask questions and perhaps find something that you feel drawn to. There will be Festival events in different areas of the diocese. Look out for one near you. For more information, visit: www.rcdea.org.uk/cari - tas-east-anglia/caritas-festival
One of the first things that Caritas East Anglia is doing is to map the social outreach projects across the diocese. Your input will be vital in creating this map. If you’re already involved in a project, please fill in a very short questionnaire to give us some information about what your organisation is doing. That way we can get a good picture of the whole diocese. We will then be able to give information to anyone wishing to help with your project. To fill in the questionnaire, visit: www.rcdea.org.uk/caritas-questionnaire
I’m delighted to have been appointed to serve in this way in East Anglia. Through the Caritas East Anglia 69

teachings of Jesus in the Gospels and of the Church in Catholic Social Teaching, we learn how to love our neighbour as ourselves and to value everything we have as gift from God. We are called to serve God in the poor and the marginalised. I’m excited to see how the Holy Spirit leads us to serve Him in East Anglia.

Simon Davies (centre) and Alfonso-Jude Belnas (right) at their ordination Mass in Norwich during July Vocations – Fr Simon Davies and Fr Alfonso Jude Belnas Fr Simon Davies and Fr Alfonso-Jude Belnas were two of five priests ordained in Norwich in July. Here are their vocation stories.
Simon Davies was born in Cyprus, where his father was stationed in the RAF, moving to St Neots in the 1990s
I When he was 16 he decided to restart attending Mass. He started serving at both Sun - day and weekday Mass, was confirmed at 18 and was also involved with visiting the sick.
Simon continued these things at the University of East Anglia in Norwich, where he went to study History and Politics, at both the student chaplaincy and St John's Cathedral.
On completing university in 2009, he went to Oscott seminary for three years, where he studied for the priesthood and gained a Theology degree awarded by Birmingham Univer - sity. Trying to discern how he should move forward, he took a break from study and went to do pastoral work in Haverhill, working at St Felix's Primary School as a teaching assis - tant and also in the Chaplaincy at Highpoint Prison.
While working he contemplated his vocation and explored several religious communities Vocations 71 before settling on the Norbertine community in Chelmsford. He also spent some time studying in Oxford for 18 months living within the Oratorian community in order to con - tinue his priestly studies. He took his vows in 2014, but decided he would not take his final vows within this community.
In 2016, he applied to Bishop Alan to return to the Diocese as a student and was ac - cepted. He went to St Laurence in Cambridge for a few months to be formed pastorally and recommencing his studies in September 2017 at Wonersh in Surrey.
Alfonso-Jude Belnas (from St Philip Howard, Cambridge), was trained at St Mary’s Seminary, Oscott (Birmingham), he writes:
I “My vocation has always been an experience of trusting and accepting the will of God and viewing him as a Good Shepherd. I came from a humble family with an extended family that gave me security, good moral guidance and the faith that I have now.
“My earliest recollection of the desire for priesthood was when my mother was back in the Philippines during Easter and Christmas from Hong Kong. She left the family and me when I was only six years old in order to give us a better education and life.
“I had duties and obligations in the local village chapel and the parish and was head of the parish youth ministry.
“The diocese accepted my ap - plication to enter formation in 2012 and has since given me all the resources needed, both spiritually and financially so that I would be able to un - dergo my seminary formation.
“A visa issue meant I had to leave Oscott for the Philip - pines with a broken heart. The event was a turning point in my vocation. God heard my Bishop Alan lays hands on Alfonso-Jude Belnas prayers and I came back to during his ordination. Oscott with the visa resolved, having missed lectures for more than six weeks and with exams on the horizon. I aban - doned everything to the Lord and prayed that His will be done and I sat and passed all the exams.
“Events, including my father’s death in June 2016, tested my trust and became the foun - dation of my discernment to the priesthood. I was able to identify my failings and I was able to measure how trusting I was in God.” 72 Vocations 73 Vocations – Fr Richard Ireson Former Anglican minister Richard Ireson was ordained as a priest at St John’s Cathedral in Norwich on September 29. Here is his vocation story.
I Richard (aged 73) is a retired Anglican minister who after training as a teacher, entered and served in Anglican orders for 40 years.
Training at Lincoln Theological College and specialising in rural groups and teams of parishes, he served in a variety of market towns including Grantham, Boston and Al - ford; in his last posting he was responsible for ten villages and creating an effective pastoral team.
Married to Janet, a teacher and with three daughters and three grandchildren life has been busy and full on the domestic front as well as following my vocation, says Richard.
“I have been blessed in my life by having a wonderful Christian family and raised in a community where the faith was taught by believers. I was taken by our faithful Anglo Catholic parish priest to the Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham at an early stage and introduced to regular disciplines such as daily Morning and Evening Prayer and con - fession.
Richard was educated at Nottingham High School, a pre Reformation charity foundation, by committed Christian teachers and in an open Christian ethos.
In his early teens, with the support of a convent educated grandmother and regular visits to family connections in Brussels, Richard became aware of the Worldwide Catholic Church, the Rock of Peter.
“My pilgrim path has been a long one, but I can only say that the joy and sense of arriving home at last, when I was received into the Church before the Easter Vigil at Ampleforth, Easter 2012, was a supreme moment in my life,” said Richard.
“My reason for leaving the Anglican Church was chiefly the lack of true authority and a yearning to be in Communion with the Bishop of Rome. Bl John Henry Newman, Ample - forth, Belmont Abbey and Mount St Bernard’s Abbey have been inspirations in the last seven years as a Catholic and together with the gracious concern and guidance of Bishop Alan the discernment process has been positive and fulfilling.
“I emphasise however, that I offered myself to Our Lord first and foremost and if the result - ing outcome had been otherwise I would have accepted it without question,” said Richard. “I now place myself entirely in His hands; His grace will be sufficient for this very weak vessel.” 74 Obituaries 75
Fr David Hennessy (1928-2019)
Fr David Hennessy, a former parish priest in Felixstowe and ex-headmas - ter of St Joseph’s College in Ipswich, has died peacefully after a long ill - ness.
I Bishop Alan said: “After many years of liv - ing with cancer, Fr David died very peace - fully early on March 9 in the con - vent of Jesus and Mary in Fe - lixstowe.
“He was aided by the prayers of his family and some of the sisters who were with him. I am extremely grateful to the Sisters and to Carol (the Manager) who have supported him and encouraged him through these last months.”
Then Brother David, of the De La Salle order, he became head of the independent St Joseph’s College day and boarding school in Ipswich in the autumn of 1987, and, after leaving the order remained as head of the School.
David later trained for the Catholic priesthood at St John's Seminary, Wonersh, and was ordained in the college chapel on December 6, 1998.
He was appointed as assistant priest at All Souls', Peterborough, where he stayed until be became parish priest of Sawston in Cambridgeshire. He was transferred to St Felix parish in Felixstowe in 2007. In all three parishes in which he served he is remembered as a kind pastor, a gifted preacher and an inspiring teacher.

On returning to England he served as an Assistant in West Acton in Westminster before his appointment as an Assistant in the parish of St Michael Huntingdon. As Parish Priest he served the people of God in the parishes of St Felix, Haverhill, St Jude's Whittlesey and St Joseph's, Sheringham.
He was incardinated into the Diocese of East Anglia in February 1991 and was then appointed to St Dominic's Downham Market. He retired in 2003 and went to live in the family home in Ireland. The funeral Mass took place on May 25 in Ballinadee.
Fr Ben O’Rourke (1929-2019)
Fr Ben O’Rourke OSA, who was parish priest of the Clare Priory church of Mother of Good Counsel for 16 years, has died at the age of 90. Fr David Middleton OSA pays tribute.
I Fr Ben came from Co Kerry in Ireland and was ordained as a priest in 1956, spending 25 years at Austin Friars School, Carlisle, where he was an inspiring teacher of English and a very successful headmaster.
In the early 1980s he was appointed to join the Augustinian community at St Mary’s, Harborne in Birmingham as parish priest. And finally he served at Clare Priory for 20 years, 16 of those as parish priest. In addition he was a well- known spiritual guide. Many people are grateful to him for the counsel that they received from Fr Ben. For many, an encounter with him was a life-changing moment.
His book Finding Your Hidden Treasure is highly regarded as a guide to contemplation and prayer. And his translation of The Confes - sions of St Augustine from the original Latin shows very clearly, in a modern and often poetic style, the journey of faith that make Augustine so relevant to us today.
Bishop Alan Hopes said: “Fr Ben will be remembered by many with great affection and especially for making the Confessions of St Augustine so available for our young people.” Obituaries 77
Latterly Fr Ben has been cared for by the Little Sisters of the Poor in St Joseph’s care home in Harborne, Birmingham. He died on August 25, four days after his 90th birthday, and was buried at Clare on September 17.
Sr Wendy Beckett (1930-2019) Tributes have been paid to Norfolk Catholic nun Sister Wendy Beckett who earned an international reputation as an unlikely art critic and television star.
I Sr Wendy, who lived at the Carmelite Monastery at Quidenham for the last 40 years, died aged 88 on Boxing Day.
Born in South Africa in 1930, Sr Wendy was raised in Edinburgh where her father studied medicine.
At 16 she joined a convent and in 1950 was awarded a Congratulatory First Class degree in English literature from Oxford University. She later taught in cities including Cape Town and Liverpool.
She began studying fine art in the 1980s and wrote a book on the subject to raise money for her convent. Contemporary Women Artists, published in 1988, Picture copyright of Archant. was followed by more books.
She lived a hermit-like existence in a caravan at Quidenham until 1991 when the BBC commissioned her to present a television documentary on the National Gallery in London. Sr Wendy became well-loved for her unique presenting style. She would stand in front of paintings in galleries around the world and discuss, without autocue, the work in detail.
Sr Stephanie Walters, Prioress of Quidenham Monastery, said: “Sr Wendy lived alongside us for over 40 years and was a good friend, an inspiration and totally unique.
“With her openness to God in her writing and programmes she could communicate the love and mystery of God through art and literature to many who may not otherwise hear of it. Christmas was a beautiful time for her to return to her Lord and be with him.”
Bishop Alan, said: “Although Sr Wendy lived as a hermit in Quidenham, her influence and impact on many, many people across the world was enormous as she spoke simply about the love of God expressed through art.
“I am sure that her influence will go on through her writings and her recordings.” 78 Building Bridges Building Bridges together

If you have a relative or a friend or are being admitted to hospital, please ensure that you indicate that you or they are a Catholic, and also would like the Catholic Chaplain to be informed of your presence in hospital. Otherwise, the Catholic Chaplain will not know that a Catholic patient is in the hospital. The secular authorities are not permitted to tell the Church if a patient is Catholic, and, according to secular rules and regulations, chaplains and parish priests are not permitted to communicate with one another regarding your presence in hospital without your permission. It is also good practice to inform hospital staff that you would like receive visitors, as some hospitals will not permit visitors who are not close family without prior permission from the patient.
Please inform: The hospital chaplain Your parish priest The nursing staff at the hospital upon arrival 126 Prisons Directory

Notes to the Accounts 1. Although it benefits from enthusiastic and faithful volunteers, priests and reli- gious, the Diocese of East Anglia is not financially well off. It has limited reserves or in- vestments of its own, receives relatively small amounts through legacies and donations and has historically been reliant on raising income from its parishes. This it does by levy- ing charges based as a percentage of parish offertory collections. The income which it receives is used to pay for the organisation and administration of all Diocesan activities, for the repairs and adaptations to its schools, for the training of future Diocesan priests and for all those services which are given to parishes without charge.
2. The activities of the Diocese are largely undertaken through its parishes. Of the overall diocesan finances, parishes account for over 78% of income and approxi- mately 58% of expenditure with some 69% of the Diocesan charity’s net assets being held at parochial level. The work of the parishes involves amongst other things the pas- toral care of the Roman Catholic and general community of the parish and maintenance and upkeep of places of worship. 144 Financial Report
3. An ongoing fund-raising campaign, Alive in Faith, has been undertaken since February 2015. This has four primary aims to provide funding for the following: I Training of future priests I Support of retired clergy I Special parish projects I Social outreach
4. During the year ending on 31 December 2018 £6,349,824 was the total com- mitted in pledges over five years, and £1,130,646 income from these pledges was recog- nised in the year. Expenditure in this year was £346,610 on Seminarians, Parish Projects and Social Outreach grants. Total fundraising costs over the 5 years are expected to be around 16% of the amount raised.
5. At 31 December 2018 the Diocese's reserves centrally stood at £10m. Of this, £3.1m is restricted to particular uses and £4.4m has been designated by the Trustees for certain specific purposes.
6. Of the remaining reserves parochial funds amount to £21.9m of which £13.96m is represented by fixed assets in the form of churches and other property which are re- quired for the purposes of the Diocese and could not be realised without undermining its work. This leaves free parochial reserves of £7.94m which represents around 2 years' total parochial expenditure and levy charges. This level of reserves is considered neces- sary by the Trustees to enable the parishes to conduct their work in an orderly and effi- cient manner as well as providing income through investments to supplement the amounts received by donations.
7. This leaves general reserves at the Diocese amounting to £2.5m which are free reserves whose use is unrestricted. This represents over 2 years’ unrestricted Diocesan expenditure and is considered necessary in order for the Diocese to continue supporting and advising the parishes. The Trustees are anticipating a gradual reduction in the Dio- cese's overall free reserves, as they are used to provide the support necessary for the Diocese to fulfil its objects.
