At the start of Advent 2017, Bishop Peter launched a Year of Prayer and Vocation, hoping to make us aware of our vocation as disciples of Jesus and to deepen our friendship with Him.

A DVD message was shown in all parishes on the first weekend of Advent, urging us to use Advent as a time of preparation for the second coming of Jesus. [Read more…] about Year of Prayer and Vocation 2017-2018

A Visit To The National Shrine Of St. Jude, Faversham, Kent

by Marguerite Cook

A loyal group of parishioners in my church of St. Joseph’s Bedford pray the rosary before daily Mass. At the end of the rosary prayers, a single voice calls out, “St. Jude, pray for us”. The voice belongs to a lady called Bernadette, and she is not alone in her love of St. Jude, the apostle and martyr; Patron of Hopeless Cases. St. Jude has devout followers in every corner of the world and thousands of people visit St. Jude’s Shrine in Faversham, Kent.
