BISHOP ALAN’S FOREWORD

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

Welcome to the 2021 Yearbook and Liturgical Calendar for the Diocese of East Anglia. Once again, I would like to thank all those who have contributed to its publication this year.

Much of this past year has, for so many of us, been lived under the long shadow of the Covid­19 pandemic. Yet even that shadow has been lightened by the wit­ ness of our faith, and by the blessings and graces God continues to bestow upon us, which break through the gloom of fear and privation, and which remind us that ‘God is for us a refuge and strength, a helper close at hand in time of distress’ (Psalm 45).

First among those blessings have been the five ordina­ tions for the Diocese, cele­ brated in the Cathedral this year: two priests, a transitional Deacon and two Permanent Deacons. Please do pray for them all, and pray that more men will offer themselves as humble labourers in the vineyard of the Lord, for the vital pastoral and sacramental care of his People.

As the present pandemic took hold in March, all our churches were closed. It was an unprecedented moment in the life of the Church. The Holy Father’s presence and words of encouragement on a cold and very wet night in an empty St Peter’s Square gave us great hope. His moving blessing of the city and the whole world with the Eucharistic Presence of Jesus Christ that same night put everything in perspective.

And across the diocese, parishes and their priests and deacons worked hard to ensure that, as Pope Francis has requested in his new encyclical, Fratelli Tutti, we live as “a single human family” in which we are “brothers and sisters all”. As our priests ensured that the Mass continued to be celebrated every day, many of them joined with our deacons and lay people in helping to bring solace and practical help to those in great need, to the hungry and the homeless. 6 Foreword

It soon became clear that some of the challenges of the pandemic were also opportunities.

The one in great need, the elderly feeling cut­off from their loved ones, those who experienced great fear and family problems – all of these are our brothers and sisters in whom we can find and serve Jesus Christ.

Locked church buildings posed the question of how we might continue to help all people to share in the Liturgy of the Church. Live streaming of Liturgies and prayers has now become a regular feature of Diocesan and parish life. Many people who are housebound or sick have been able to share in the Mass for the first time in many years. Many people have joined in the Liturgy for the first time.

The challenge for us now, will be to find ways in which these new online experiences can develop into actual encounters with the living Lord Jesus Christ, present in the Sacrament of the Mass.

The mission of our Diocese has continued. Despite the restrictions, clergy and catechists have continued to prepare people for reception into the Catholic Church. Children have been prepared for their First Holy Communions and young adults for Confirmation. Marriage preparation has continued, as has the Diocesan support of married people. The formation of our catechists has carried on through distance learning, and through the Zoom meetings with which so many of us have now become familiar. Our priests have learned to podcast, and to broadcast on YouTube!

In October, the Report from the Royal Commission into Safeguarding in the Catholic Church over the past decades, made challenging and soul­searching reading. It is very clear that as well as all the structures we have put in place, we all need to remain extremely vigilant in this area of the Church’s life and mission. The commitment of our safeguarding team, clergy and dozens of parish representatives must be recognised, but we cannot afford to relax our guard.

As a Diocese we have lived and learned the truth of what Julian of Norwich saw in her visions of Jesus Christ, in the East Anglia of seven centuries ago. In her encounter with the Lord, Julian recalls:

He did not say, “you will not encounter storms”; He did not say, “you will not be travailed, or wearied”; He did not say, “you will not be discomforted.” He did say, “you will not be overcome.”

The year ahead will no doubt bring its own changes and challenges; but like Julian of Norwich we may be absolutely confident that, with God’s grace, we will not be overcome.

Please be assured of my continued prayers and good wishes,

Rt Rev Alan Hopes, Bishop of East Anglia Contacts 7

DIOCESE OF EAST ANGLIA

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 Murphy­O’Connor in 2003, holding the title of Titular Bishop of Chester­le­Street, 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 new 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. He died in 2020 and is buried in Southwark Cathedral.

The Rt Rev Michael Charles Evans was ordained Bishop of East Anglia by Cardinal Murphy­O’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 EAST ANGLIA

Caritas East Anglia supports the poor and the marginalised in three ways: by promot­ ing Catholic Social Teaching; through project grants and emergency aid; and by sup­ porting those involved in social outreach. Our diocese is a member organisation of Caritas Social Action Network (CSAN) which is an agency of the Catholic Bishops Con­ ference of England and Wales.

Catholic Social Teaching is the teaching of the Church on social responsibility, based on Papal Encyclicals and other documents. These reflect upon Jesus’ command to ‘love your neighbour as yourself’ (Mk 12:31) and show us how to share God’s love by our actions towards all our sisters and brothers. Articles exploring CST can be found in the diocesan paper and on our website: www.rcdea.org.uk/catholic­social­teaching

Financial assistance is available in two forms to those in need. The St Edmund’s Fund provides crisis grants to individuals or families. Alive in Faith grants are awarded to support local social outreach projects within parishes, examples of which can be seen on the diocesan website: www.rcdea.org.uk/caritas­east­anglia For details of both funds, please contact your parish priest.

By any measure, Alive in Faith has lived up to its name with parishioners across the Diocese of East Anglia committing themselves to the vision of providing for both seminarians and priests who step down after many years of faithful service to parishes, and for outreach projects. Peter Ledger reports. n Central to the success of the campaign was that parishes would themselves directly benefit. Participating parishes are now seeing the rewards of their commitment, a wide range of projects coming to fruition. These range from important outreach pro­ grammes within their parishes to essential building repairs and improvements which would not have been possible without Alive in Faith funds.

A marvellous example is a project supported by Aldeburgh and Leiston parishes. Alde­ burgh is blessed in having excellent ecumenical relations and in January 2012, the three local churches, Anglican, Baptist and Roman Catholic, began a venture to help fund the work of a parish nurse for the town.

Facilitated by Parish Nursing Ministries UK, a Christian charity which helps local churches appoint nurses, Ali Cherry, a Christian nurse, was appointed to work in Alde­ burgh in 2013. At the time she was largely funded by the Baptist Church, the smallest of the church communities in the town. Very quickly she proved herself as being acces­ sible, available, and greatly appreciated by the local people – many of whom are eld­ erly and housebound.

Being aware of the heavy burden on the Baptist Church, the Anglican and Catholic communities in Aldeburgh began to support Ali’s work through second collections. The social outreach dimension of Alive in Faith seemed a marvellous opportunity to apply for a grant which would ease the problem of helping to fund her. An application for £5,000 from Alive in Faith was successful. Ali is still employed by the local churches, and her ministry and witness is valued on a day to day basis.

A project with a very different community focus has been implemented at St Edmunds, Bungay. The parish were already determined to become “eco­friendly” and submitted a project focussed on helping to reduce global warming. A second priority was educa­ tional – to do something ‘green’ so that the children at their school, St Edmund’s Catholic Primary, could see green policies in action, learn about them and reflect them in their own lives. 20 advanced technology solar panels were installed with benefits to the environment in many forms. Over the expected 20­year lifespan of the system, it should save 56 tonnes of CO2 emissions, simultaneously saving over £8,000 worth of electricity. The parish benefits from the so­called “Feed­in Tariff” and the school will use less electricity from the national grid through the traditional electricity meter.

Costessey parish decided that their share of Alive in Faith funds raised would go in two directions – to fund improvements needed to the church building, and to assist with the building of new houses in their twin parish of St Joseph’s, Ta Hen, Cambodia. Alive in Faith has made possible three projects in the church: re­pad and re­cover the kneel­ ers, re­carpeting the nave and the sanctuary and finally the purchase of a new presi­ dential chair. TQuotes from church furnishing companies was around £1,000. In the Alive in Faith 65

Bishop Kike celebrated the blessing of Kimheang’s family new house in the village of Tuol, in Thmorkol, Cambodia, part of the Costessey Parish’s Ta Hen project, using Alive in Faith funds. event, a suitable chair was purchased on the internet for £68. Parish frugality in action!

To date the parish Cambodia project has funded three houses in Ta Hen at a cost of about $4,000 each. Part of this money came from regular parish fundraising, but much of it has been made possible by Alive in Faith.

Several urgent projects to repair parish buildings have been made possible by Alive in Faith. Our Lady Immaculate & St Etheldreda Church, Newmarket, had a pressing need to reline the high­level gutters. These were Finlock concrete gutters which, over time, are prone to leaking. In this case, the gutters were leaking badly. Worse still, the gut­ ters were at high level. A shortfall in parish finances was made good by Alive in Faith and essential repairs successfully carried out.

At Thetford, Quinquennial Reports had identified subsidence at both the east and west ends of the presbytery. This caused extensive movement in the corner walls which needed underpinning and bracing. In addition, all rain water goods had to be replaced and internal walls and ceilings of the Presbytery had to be repaired. In addition, repairs and reinstatement of load bearing walls in the ground floor were needed. Clearly this was a major project. The parish decided that these significant repairs should be the focus of their parish project. Other work was undertaken at the same time funded di­ rectly by the parish but the main project, now successfully completed, was facilitated by the parish share of Alive in Faith Funds.

These are just a few examples of the many parish projects made possible by the gen­ erosity of parishioners committing to Alive in Faith. 66 Vocations

Bishop Alan addresses Peter Wygnanski during his ordination. Vocations – Fr Peter Wygnański Peter Wygnański arrived at the end of his seminary journey on July 25 as Bishop Alan Hopes ordained him to the priesthood at the Cathedral of St John the Baptist in Norwich. Eldred Willey reports on his vocation story.

n Around 100 people and friends from places where Peter had lived and ministered, as well as Peter’s parents and sister and some 30 priests, came to join the socially­dis­ tanced celebration. “This is a great day of joy as we come together,” said Bishop Alan. “I know that he will draw tremendous strength from your prayerful presence here.”

“I remember attending an ordination many years ago,” said Peter, “and reading in the back of the order of service a thank­you note that the new priest had added in. I recall reading with some scepticism the line, 'I couldn't have done it without you' and think­ ing it was a bit much, that surely he'd have managed somehow on his own steam.

“As I reach the end of my own seminary journey, I know now that it is absolutely true that seminarians only persevere thanks to the immense support, encouragement, and prayer of countless people along the way. Particularly here, I would want to thank Bishop Alan and my formators at the Venerable English College for all they've taught me, and also all those throughout East Anglia who have prayed for me and the other seminarians of the diocese over the years. Vocations 67

“I have some studying left to finish in Rome, but I greatly look forward to returning to the diocese to begin the ministry the Lord has called me to in the years to come. I can but hope and pray, by God's grace, that I continue to grow in my discipleship and, as I place my hands in the Lord's, he may work as He wills through me, in the life of His people.”

Peter (Piotr) Wygnański grew up in Cambridge an was an altar server for 11 years in the parish of St Laurence. He was a longstanding member of the Diocesan Youth Coun­ cil of the diocese, and helped to lead pilgrimages to Taize and World Youth Days.

He studied electronic engineering at Warwick University and worked in industry in Lon­ don before beginning his training for the priesthood at the Venerable English College in Rome. He had the opportunity to study theology at the Gregorian University and chose to gain pastoral experience in the Diocese of Malolos in the Philippines. In October 2019 he had the unique honour of singing the Gospel at the canonisation Mass of Car­ dinal John Henry Newman in Rome.

Peter has been based at St Edmunds, Bury St Edmunds, since the Italian universities closed in the spring.

At the end of the Mass, Peter took the opportunity to address those gathered, saying: “My hope is that you’ve caught a glimpse of the goodness and beauty which has taken hold of my heart.”

He expressed his gratitude to Bishop Michael Evans for “getting me moving” and to Bishop Alan for being a father figure over the last seven years. He also commented that the youth ministry of Hamish McQueen had “worked wonders for me”.

Peter now has a year left of a license, a pontifical postgraduate degree, specialising in Fundamental Theology. His main focus will be writing a thesis, considering how meta­ physical presuppositions constrain how we understand Divine Providence; he’ll be con­ sidering how more recent philosophy, specifically the sacramental ontology of Henri de Lubac, and the phenomenological developmental ontology of Merleau­Ponty, could contribute to deepening our theological understanding of how God acts in the world.

Vocations – Fr Andrew Neate Andrew Neate was ordained to the priesthood at St John’s Cathedral in Norwich on September 19.

n Fr Andrew Neate said: “I feel very lucky to be fit and active to take on further min­ istry as an ordained priest. So much of my past life has led me on to this. I greatly look forward to serving our Catholic Parish in Fakenham.”

In his homily, Bishop Alan Hopes said: “Jesus chooses men and sets them apart to share in His priesthood… He says to us very clearly, ‘You did not choose me; I chose you.’ So with you, Andrew. He has called you for His own purposes.”

Bishop Alan emphasised the importance of the people of God in supporting a priestly ministry. “No priest could continue his ministry if it were not for the people of God… 68 Vocations

which sup­ ports a priest through times of discourage­ ment.” And he added: “The whole Church in heaven and on earth is wrapping you in a mantle of prayer.”

He encour­ aged Fr Neate to “imitate the mystery you celebrate – mould your life on the mystery of the Lord’s presence.” Bishop Alan ordains Fr Andrew Neate in September.

Andrew Neate has been serving as a Permanent Deacon in the parish of Cromer and Sheringham in Norfolk. He had left his banking career early and was able, when ordained in 1996, to offer a full­time commitment to the Diaconate ministry.

Following a time in parish ministry in Huntingdon, he served for 17 years as a chaplain at Addenbrookes Hospital in Cambridge, being attached to Our Lady and the English Martyrs.

He was married for 50 years to Margaret and was widowed three years ago. Bishop Alan, after recognising his vocation to the priesthood, asked him to undertake some studies at Allen Hall to prepare for ordination. His late wife’s family are descended from St Thomas More, and as the Seminary is on the site of More’s Chelsea House, it seemed fitting that he should study there.

He had been was brought up in a Methodist household, living in south­east London. He left school at sixteen and worked for an American company in central London, spe­ cialising in Personnel Relations. At the same time, he joined an Ecumenical Commu­ nity, The Bede House Association, founded by Clare College, Cambridge. Originally founded to help the deprived dockers of Bermondsey, it had come to focus on young people. There he was influenced by many Anglican and Catholic Clergy and subse­ quently decided to embrace the Catholic Faith

He was for ten years director of the Diocesan Pilgrimage to Lourdes, using hospital contacts to build up the nursing help for assisted pilgrims. Lourdes has always been a deeply enriching place for him and important for his spiritual journey. In Cromer he has been active in the parish while also needing time for his wife’s care. In this he has been grateful for much support and prayer from the parish. Vocations 69

Vocations – Deacons Jacob Cheriyan and Prameel Joseph Deacons Jacob Cheriyan and Prameel Joseph, both from Peter­ borough, were ordained as permanent deacons by Bishop Alan Hopes in July at St John’s Cathedral in Norwich, reports Eldred Willey.

Around 125 friends, family members and fellow parishioners came to the ordination Mass to show their support for Jacob. They were joined by a number of priests, includ­ ing Fr Philip Shryane, who played a key role in encouraging Jacob to train for the dia­ conate.

Jacob said that he had sensed the call to become a deacon during a Mass at St Peter’s in Gorleston on the Feast of St Stephen. Hearing the story of the saint, he had said to 70 Vocations himself: “I wish I could be like that.”

In his homily, Bishop Alan referenced St Stephen, pointing out that it was his powerful proclamation of the Gospel which had led to his martyrdom. Stephen, he said was a man who had a “burning love of the Gospel”.

He also spoke about another deacon and martyr from the early Church, St Laurence, who when commanded by the Roman authorities to turn over the treasures of the church had brought along poor people, widows and orphans and said: “Here are the treasures of the Church.”

Bishop Alan described the three distinctive responsibilities of a deacon: to be a minis­ ter of the Word, a minister at the altar, and a minister of loving service to others. “Your loving service must go way beyond what society would call service,” he said.

In his response at the end of the service Jacob said: “I want to thank Bishop Alan Hopes for the wise counsel he has always given me. I can only say, as King David did, who am I, and who is my house, that you have brought me to this point?”

Jacob expressed a special word of gratitude for his family: his wife Rosily, and his three sons, Isaac, Abraham and Joseph. He finished with a word of thanks in Malayalam, his native language, and the celebration ended with a round of applause for him.

Jacob currently works as a full­time chaplain at the high­security prison HMP White­ moor, a role which he will continue now that he has been ordained. n Prameel Joseph, from St Luke’s in Peterbor­ ough, ful­ filled a call to ordina­ tion he has felt for many years when Bishop Alan or­ dained him to the dia­ conate at St John’s Cathedral.

When he was younger, Prameel, who is from India, joined a religious congregation called the Rosminian Fa­ thers. During a discernment at the end of two years, however, it became clear the Prameel was called to live his vocation in married life. Vocations 71

He left the Ros­ minian Fathers and later found a pastoral role as a prison chaplain; for the last six years he has been Catholic chaplain at HMP Littlehay. With his wife Bigi he has had three sons: Clement, Calvin and Clay­ ton.

A number of years ago he shared with Canon John Minh his continuing desire for ordina­ tion. Canon Minh encouraged him to “sit down and have a chat” and was soon affirm­ ing Prameel’s Deacon Prameel Joseph distributes Holy Communion for the first sense of calling. time after his ordination in July. After four years of training for the diaconate he arrived at the moment of ordination on Thursday July 30.

In his homily for the occasion, Bishop Alan recalled the saint and martyr St Stephen. “Stephen’s story reminds us that no matter the cost it is always of primary importance to witness to the truth who is Christ,” he said.

Bishop Alan drew attention to one part of the ceremony, the laying on of hands, which he said was “a symbol of the calling down of the Holy Spirit to give you new strength and…the sign of the apostolic succession transmitted through the Church”.

He concluded his homily by speaking of the ministry of love: “Love is the first priority of the Church. It is the Church’s very essence…This must be the hallmark of your min­ istry.”

At the end of the Mass, Prameel gave thanks to God in the words of the Magnificat: “My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour”. He took the op­ portunity to thank Bishop Alan publicly for “the encouragement you have always given”. He also paid tribute to his wife Bigi for her support, and to his sons: “Clayton, thank you for bringing the rosary and saying: ‘Daddy, it’s time for prayer.’” 72 Obituaries

Archbishop Peter Smith (1944­2020) Tributes were paid to Archbishop Peter Smith, previously the second Catholic Bishop of East Anglia, who died peacefully on March 6, after a short illness.

n Archbishop Peter, aged 76, was the second Bishop of East An­ glia and served the Diocese from 1995 until 2001 when he was translated to the See of Cardiff. He became Arch­ bishop of South­ wark in 2010 until his retirement in 2019.

Bishop Alan Hopes said: “I know that many of you will have fond remem­ brances and many stories of Archbishop Peter during his six years here which you will share with each other,” said Bishop Alan. “I have always been most grateful to him for his wise advice and encouragement both personally and at the Bishops’ Conference.

“For over 50 years, he made an outstanding contribution to the Catholic Church across three dioceses and nationally on the Bishops’ Conference. His straightforward faith, his sense of humour, honesty and humanity and his ability to cut to the chase in any debate stand out in a life which was dedicated to the Lord and his Church. May he rest in peace.”

Cardinal Vincent Nichols, said: “Archbishop Peter devoted his life entirely and unwa­ veringly to the service of the Lord in His Church. Peter served as bishop in three dioce­ ses. There are, then, many who will remember him personally and treasure those memories.”

Fr William Wells (1929­2020) Fr William Wells had a very unusual and wide­ranging ministry. Fr Michael Rear pays tribute.

n Born into an Australian Anglican family he became a member of the Bush Brother­ Obituaries 73 hood of St Paul as soon as he was ordained deacon in 1952; a missionary community which lived under vows, and ministered to remote Aboriginal communities that could­ n’t be reached by road. The priests were described as a ‘band of men’ who could ‘preach like Apostles’ and ‘ride like cowboys’.

It is eye­popping to imagine that rotund and jolly character we knew and loved in and around Walsingham, as an adventurous young man astride a horse.

The idea of religious life took hold of him and brought him to England in 1961 to test his vocation at the Anglican Monastery of Our Lady and St Benedict, Nashdom Abbey. Although he left before final vows he never set foot in Aus­ tralia again. After a short spell as Chaplain to the Sisters of the Holy Paraclete in Whitby, his missionary vocation took over once more. Like many re­ markable Anglo­Catholic priests of his day he answered the call to work in deprived parts of Central America, where he spent 15 years as a parish rector and also head­ master of a Church school.

On returning to England in 1980 he worked as a prison chaplain in Rudgate and Thorpe Arch Remand Centre for young offenders, before becoming Vicar of Brambles Farm, Middlesborough. It was a tough assignment, and the church building eventually closed due to vandalism, lack of funds and arson. He stayed for seven years before retiring to the peace of Walsingham, a cheerful presence in the vil­ lage.

There he was received into the Catholic Church and ordained priest at the age of 68, along with eight other elderly former Anglicans; William wasn’t the oldest. They have all given the most wonderful service to the Church, well justifying Bishop Peter’s trust in them. Bishop Peter paid a beautiful tribute in his homily: “Many men reaching your age would say ‘I’ve laboured long and hard in the vineyard of the Lord and I’m ready to hang up my boots’. But you brethren have asked to carry on, and I salute you.”

So did the parishioners of Walsingham where he frequently celebrated Mass at the An­ nunciation, as well as hearing Confessions each Saturday at the Shrine. There was a lovely naivety about him. On visiting the doctor for some ailment he was told that red wine would be good for him. It wasn’t long before people noticed ­ inevitably he col­ 74 Obituaries lapsed. The doctor came and respectfully enquired, ‘Do you drink, father’? ‘Yes’ he as­ sured him, ‘you told me to’. ‘About how much’? ‘I try to drink a bottle a day’, William answered. ‘I meant a glass’, replied the horrified doctor. From that moment William never drank another drop.

In 2003, he moved to Blakeney where, like his predecessors over many years, he be­ came almost priest­in­charge, greatly loved and respected. His solitary retirement years were spent studying, rather like a monk. He gained his BTh in Oxford, and then a Master of Laws in Catholic canon law. His erudite homilies became legendary, and all those who heard him thought them wonderful even if they couldn’t understand every­ thing he said.

Fr Michael Teader (1939­2020) Fr Michael Teader, parish priest at St Felix in Haverhill, died peacefully on February 7. Fr Christopher Smith, from Newmarket parish, pays tribute.

n Fr Michael Teader was Suffolk born and bred. He spent his early years in Hundon, and apart from National Service in the RAF in Ely, he was to spend the rest of his life in Haverhill.

After National Ser­ vice, Michael worked in the Trustees Saving Bank, before train­ ing as a teacher. Here he found his vocation and an outlet for his abili­ ties. Michael influ­ enced generations of Haverhill people, as well as Newly Qualified Teachers whom he took under his wing.

As he grew up in Hundon, the then Rector nurtured his Christian faith and made a last­ ing impression. The parish was in the Anglo­Catholic tradition and this would ulti­ mately lead Michael to the Catholic Church. As an Anglican and later as a Catholic, Michael had a firm and unwavering faith in God. His Christian vision was to inform and influence his life as a teacher, deacon and priest.

Michael took early retirement from his job as Deputy Headteacher of St Felix Primary School and then worked as a lay Catholic Chaplain in HMP Highpoint. At the same time he began his formation for the diaconate. He was ordained deacon in 1996. When his elderly father died, Bishop Peter Smith, the then Bishop of East Anglia, invited Michael to begin formation for the priesthood. Fr Michael was ordained priest in 2001 and was Obituaries 75 to spend the whole of his priestly ministry in Haverhill, until he had to stand down through ill health in November 2019. Pope Francis has encouraged the Church to be bold and to go out to the periphery, to the edges. This is what Fr Michael was to do as teacher, deacon and priest. As a teacher he had a special concern for children whom others would deem difficult. His prison ministry bore great fruit. Seminarians were sent to him on pastoral placement and saw at first hand pastoral priesthood as it was lived.

He was responsible for the building of the new church in Haverhill. More important than the construction of a building was Fr Michael’s building up of the Catholic com­ munity in Haverhill so it became what it is today: a vibrant, outward­looking, multicul­ tural community united in worship, service and witness. In the town, Fr Michael pioneered the St Nicholas’ Hospice Hub, which sought to take hospice chaplaincy out into the community. Fr Michael once said of his prison ministry that he sought to ‘open a window onto the love and mercy of God’. That characterised not only his prison work but the whole of his ministry as a deacon and priest.

Although on his own admission somewhat shy by nature, Michael had a natural capac­ ity for friendship and he had a wide circle of friends. He was great company. Among his interests were gardening, reading, travel, music and art. His was a life well lived in friendship with God and others.

Deacon Peter Coates (1940­2020) Deacon Peter Coates from Woodbridge has died, aged 80, after a long illness. Fr Edmund Eggleston pays tribute.

n Peter Coates was born during the Second World War in Darlington and was never seen by his father who died on active service in Egypt. In infancy, Peter was given up for dead on at least two occasions but revived. These episodes were almost certainly due to the congenital condition known as Ehlers Danlos Syndrome (EDS) which contin­ ued to cause problems for Peter throughout his life.

After grammar school, he worked as a mental nurse, as a care assistant in a hostel for destitute people, and for Dr Barnardo’s Homes before training for ministry in the Methodist Church. He claimed that his Bachelor of Divinity degree from the University of London made him the only Methodist Minister with a degree in the Roman Catholic Mass.

At the age of eight, Peter told his mother that he had a vocation to be ordained and to work amongst the poorest people. Most of his ministry in the Methodist Church was based in inner London and his last appointment was as Chaplain to Rochester Borstal and Secretary of the London South East Synod as well as Chaplain to the European Youth Council and Leader of the first British delegation to the East German Methodist Church.

After leaving the Methodist Church, Peter worked in Prison Education before becom­ ing Deputy Director of Replan, a government programme working with Further Educa­ tion Colleges and unemployed people. This led to work on projects sponsored by the European Union. He also gained an academic diploma in Adult Continuing Education, a 76 Obituaries

Master of Education degree and a Fellowship in the Char­ tered Institute of Personnel and Development. During this time, by separate routes, both Peter and his wife Kathleen, came to be­ lieve that it was right to ask to be received into the Roman Catholic Church.

In 1995, Peter went to Azer­ baijan as Team Leader on a project to reform the Ministry of Labour. This project lasted for a year and Peter has been credited with helping to found the Catholic Church there. The first public Mass since the communist revolution of 1918 was celebrated in his flat by Fr Colin Taylor from the Notting­ ham Diocese. After Peter’s visit to the Nuncio in Tiblisi, Georgia, two priests were sent to Baku to establish the parish and build the new Church.

The following year Peter went to Moldova, to be joined there by Kathleen and their son Alister a few months later. Moldova had the lowest GDP in Europe and, through voluntary work with the Church and with Caritas Moldova while living in a village shar­ ing people’s lives, that early vocation began to be fulfilled. He was later ordained to the Order of Deacons on January 6, 2001 by the Rt Rev Anton Cosa, Bishop of Chişinău.

Peter continued to work on projects mainly in Moldova but also in Kyrgystan, but eventually the EDS caught up with him again and gave rise to a few misdiagnoses in both countries and the UK. The family had to return to England and Peter was very ill during the early part of 2003. After recovering, he became an assistant to the Catholic Chaplain at Feltham Young Offenders Institute until Bishop Anton arranged an Ameri­ can contract enabling Peter to commute to Moldova eight times per year.

In August 2005 the family came to live in Woodbridge. The charity Moldova not For­ gotten was set up to continue the work there. He was the first permanent deacon in Eastern Europe.

With permission from Bishop Michael Evans, and later Bishop Alan Hopes, Peter minis­ tered in the parish of Saint Thomas of Canterbury at Woodbridge from 2005 and he wrote a regular column for our diocesan website newspaper – Catholic East Anglia. Peter continued to be incardinated to the Diocese of Chişinău, Moldova.

Peter died in Ipswich hospital on June 23, aged 80. He is survived by his wife Kathleen, three children, and grandchildren. Obituaries 77 Canon Michael Hazell (1933­2020) Retired priest Canon Michael Hazell, who lived in Ipswich, died after a long battle with cancer in March.

Writing to diocesan clergy, Bishop Alan said: “I am writing to inform you of the sad news that Canon Michael Hazell died this morning after a long battle with cancer. Canon Michael was a priest of the Diocese of Northampton who had retired to the Diocese of East Anglia and has lived and assisted in the parish of St Mary’s Ipswich (particularly in Holy Family, Kesgrave) for many years.

“He was supremely a deeply pastoral priest and one who had a great love for the Church. His cheerfulness and positivity in the last two years of ill health and suffering are an example to us all. May he rest in peace.

“The prayers and thoughts of the Diocese are especially with his two sisters, Annie and Molly, with the Bishop and the Diocese of Northampton, and the people of St Mary’s and Holy Family, Kesgrave, at this time.

“The funeral will be a private cele­ bration for the family only, but a Diocesan Requiem Mass for Canon Michael will be arranged when the present pandemic crisis is ended,” said Bishop Alan.

In 2018, Canon Michael celebrated a special jubilee – marking 60 years of his service as a priest at the annual Celebration of Priesthood at the Bishop’s White House in Por­ ingland.

Deacon Raymond Howlings (1923­2020) Deacon Raymond Howlings, who served at St George’s in Norwich, died in April at the age of 97, after a long illness.

Deacon Raymond was one of a large group of men ordained for the permanent dia­ conate by Bishop Alan Clarke for the Diocese back in 1991 and served in the parish of St George’s, Norwich.

Bishop Alan said: “For some years now, Deacon Raymond has been housebound, suf­ fering from various medical conditions and was cared for sacramentally and pastorally by Fr Sean Connolly and parishioners at home. May he rest in peace. The Diocese of­ fers its condolences and prayers to his nephew and other family members.”

78 Obituaries Deacon Ron O’Toole (1930­2020) North Norfolk Permanent Deacon Ron O’Toole, who had a great love of the Catholic faith, died on August 11 at the age of 90. Fr James Walsh pays tribute. n Ron had a long and varied life. At the age of 18 he entered the Cistercian abbey of Mount St Bernard where he spent eight years. It was an experience that marked him deeply and gave him a solid spiritual formation which was to shape his future life and ministry. It was with some reluctance that he left the abbey on the understanding that he might return one day. However when he later visited the abbey it was with his wife Inge and four children!

Ron was born in Plymouth, the only child of a naval father and a staunchly Catholic Irish mother. His education in the faith began in an Anderson shelter when his mother taught him his prayers, said endless rosaries and intro­ duced him to the lives of the saints. His working life began as an accountant at Philips Electrical where he met Inge and they married in 1957. He was of­ fered a job as sales rep for the publish­ ing firm Burns Oates. The work was congenial but the salary was not sufficient to support a growing family.

Never one to refuse a challenge he took up agriculture, managing the farm for the Do­ minican community at Spode House for several years. He then trained as a social worker and joined the Catholic Social Service. This brought him in contact with prison life which he saw as an opportunity for pastoral work. This was recognised by Bishop Casey who suggested that he could do this as a permanent deacon in the Brentwood diocese. He was ordained to the diaconate by Bishop Butler in 1979. Finally, he joined the Apostleship of the Sea and worked at Anchor House in the London docklands for ten years.

On his retirement, Ron and Inge moved to Norfolk where he was able to continue his diaconal ministry in the parishes of Cromer, Sheringham and North Walsham. Ron had a great love of the Catholic faith and had a natural gift for instructing adult converts and leading Bible study groups. In recent years he conducted many funerals, support­ ing families through bereavement and, on more than one occasion, resolving family divisions.

Ron was good company. He enjoyed a good bottle of wine – preferably red – and was a mine of information about local hostelries. He was a family man, devoted to Inge, his four children, seven grandchildren and two great­grandchildren. Building Bridges 79 Building Bridges together

Since 2002 the Diocese of East Anglia is privileged to have formed special charitable relationships with two twin dioceses, the Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem (the Holy Land) and the Apostolic Prefec­ ture of Battambang (Cambodia). n As well as individual parishes and schools entering into twinning arrangements and supporting humanitarian projects within those partnerships, our Diocese has provided funding for a number of initiatives including house renovations, educational provision, medical support, catechetical initiatives, sponsoring of seminarians, university scholar­ ships and music activities.

Holy Land n In the Holy Land, the charitable efforts of the Diocese are channelled through the Latin Patri­ archate, which has an established procedure for assessing funding requests and monitor­ ing their delivery in order that the money raised is used to best effect.

2020 has been one of the most difficult peri­ ods for the Christian Children’s Summer Camp, Madaba, provided by Patriar­ community as a result chate parishes, funded in part by the Diocese of East Anglia. of Covid­19. The bor­ ders with Israel have been closed, which means that those living in the West Bank have been unable to go to work there. Even more devastating, pilgrims and tourists have not been able to visit the West Bank – especially Bethlehem – so this has resulted in a total loss of income for everyone. This has led to a sharp increase in the requests re­ ceived for humanitarian support. There have been numerous requests from families in desperate need to put food on the table; buy hygiene supplies; buy medicines or pay utilities bills.

Various deaneries and parishes have already established links with parishes and schools in the Holy Land or taken on specific projects. If you would like to know more about supporting the Christians in the Holy Land, either as an individual or a parish, please contact Mgr Peter Leeming at Thetford, who has responsibility for the relation­ ship between the two dioceses.

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.

Notes to the Accounts

1. Although it benefits from many enthusiastic and faithful volunteers, priests and re- ligious, the Diocese of East Anglia is not financially well off. It has limited reserves or investments of its own, receives relatively small amounts through legacies and dona- tions and has historically been reliant on raising income from its parishes. This it does by levying 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 71% of income and approximately 68% of expenditure with some 65% of the Diocesan charity’s net assets being held at parochial level. The work of the parishes involves amongst other things the pastoral care of the Roman Catholic and general community of the parish and maintenance and upkeep of places of worship.

3. An ongoing fund-raising campaign, Alive in Faith, has been undertaken since 146 Financial Report February 2015. This has four primary aims to provide funding for the following:

n Training of future priests n Support of retired clergy n Special Parish Projects n Social Outreach

4. During the year ending on 31 December 2019 a total of over £6.3 million was com- mitted in pledges over five years, and £1,062,372 income from these pledges was recognised in the year. Expenditure in this year was £573,821 on Seminarians, Parish Projects and Social Outreach grants. Total fundraising costs over the five years are ex- pected to be around 16% of the amount raised.

5. At 31 December 2019 the Diocese's reserves, including parishes, stood at £33.9m. Of this, £3.54m is restricted to particular uses and £4.52m has been designated by the Trustees for certain specific purposes.

6. Of the remaining reserves, parochial funds amount to £22.1m, 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 £8.14m which represents just over one year’s total parochial expenditure and levy charges. This level of reserves is considered necessary by the Trustees to enable the parishes to conduct their work in an orderly and efficient 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 £3.71m which are free reserves whose use is unrestricted. This represents over two years’ unrestricted Dioce- san expenditure and is considered necessary in order for the Diocese to continue sup- porting and advising the parishes. The Trustees are anticipating a reduction in the Diocese's overall free reserves, as they are used to provide the support necessary for the Diocese to fulfil its objects and to meet the challenges posed by Covid-19.

8. The Diocese and its parishes have responded to the Covid-19 pandemic through a combination of expenditure reductions and seeking to generate additional income through online donations, accessing grants and use of the furlough scheme. We are grateful to the many generous parishioners who, alongside our dedicated clergy, have given unstintingly of their time and talents to bring the Roman Catholic Church in East Anglia through this unprecedented period.

STELLA MARIS Stella Maris (Apostleship of the Sea) is the official maritime agency of the Catholic Church in Great Britain. Stella Maris is a registered charity (No 1069833) reliant on the annual Sea Sunday appeal and donations to sustain its ministry. Ninety percent of world trade is carried by ship; however, seafarers and fishers often work in dangerous conditions suffering loneliness, deprivation and even exploitation. Stella Maris deploys chaplains and ship visitors who welcome merchant seafarers and fishers to our shores and provide for their pastoral and practical needs – regardless of creed or nationality.

Catholic seafarers and fishers are also given the opportunity to receive the sacraments. In addition, Stella Maris provides chaplains on board cruise ships, works to maintain seafarers’ centres inside ports, and collaborates with industry bodies to speak up for seafarers’ and fishers’ rights. Stella Maris relies on a network of valued contacts and volunteers to sustain its development.
