- Annual ‘Day with the Archbishop’ – Friday 22 November 2024
This week’s Chaplaincy Newsletter: 14 November 2024
Dear All,
This coming week on Friday 22 November we have our Annual Ethnic Chaplaincy, Eparchy and Mission Day with Archbishop Longley. I would be grateful if you could confirm that you will be attending via email: co-ordinator.ethnic.chaplaincy@rcaob.org.uk or by phone/WhatsApp 07812 110640 this weekend please. St Paul’s Convent Centre requires numbers attending.
I sent the Programme last week, but I am sending it again: we have 2 major issues to deal with: financial transparency as Charities and proposals for the Jubilee Year 2025, especially our focus on Priestly Vocations. The latter will be taken up in ‘Planning for the Intercultural Mass’ (scheduled 10 May) at a meeting on Tuesday 17 December at 11.30am in St Brigid’s Church, 63 Frankley Beeches Road, Northfield, Birmingham B31 5AB. Host: Fr Cecil Rogerson. Please let me know if you will be able to attend.
Archbishop Bernard has a Pastoral Letter this weekend; I am attaching it for Chaplains outside the Archdiocese. Also I have prepared and attached a Reflection which will be part of the Burning Bush vlog later this evening. You may find it relevant for the Feast of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary and the vlog to share with your Community for a short time of Prayer and Reflection.
With prayers and all good wishes, Mgr Daniel McHugh
