Dear All,
I am pleased to send you a flyer about the Ethiopian Chaplaincy. Fr Tilahun has arrived recently and has a challenge to reach out to the small Ethiopian Catholic Community in the Archdiocese and to the North. He will celebrate his first Mass in St Francis, Handsworth, Birmingham. If you can assist by distributing the flyers in your Chaplaincies, Parishes and Schools it would be appreciated.
As usual I am sending my Reflection for this weekend; I have picked up on the political situation we see unfolding in the country and elsewhere. I have noted the words of Pope Francis at the recent Italian Catholic Social Week in Trieste, and the Pope’s Worldwide Prayer Network Intention for August. I hope you find this helpful as you prepare your own Homily for the coming weekend. The Reflection will feature in our Burning Bush vlog which will be on our website from tomorrow, Thursday.
Prayers and all good wishes for your Ministry, Mgr Daniel McHugh
