On Friday June 18th we invited all the priests who have served in the parish over the years to return for a Mass in celebration of priesthood. And, so long as they weren't dead, or ill, or on a different continent, they all came. Unfortunately, England were playing in the World Cup that night, but those who heard Mass could only give thanks afterwards for missing the match. Those who chose football missed a wonderful occasion, and suffered through one of the worst England performances in recent times.

We've put galleries of pictures from the rehearsals of Born For This online, if you would like to refresh your memories of this extraordinary staging of the Stations of the Cross.
And, somewhat tardily, we've also created a gallery of pictures taken at the parish lunch in, ahem, February.

The following statement was issued by the Catholic Bishops of England and Wales on 22 April 2010.
Child abuse in the Catholic Church has been such a focus of public attention recently, that we, the Bishops of England and Wales, wish to address this issue directly and unambiguously.
Catholics are members of a single universal body. These terrible crimes, and the inadequate response by some church leaders, grieve us all.
Our first thoughts are for all who have suffered from the horror of these crimes, which inflict such severe and lasting wounds. They are uppermost in our prayer. The distress we feel at what has happened is nothing in comparison with the suffering of those who have been abused.
