So looking forward to welcoming Catherine @parishnw6 One of the great delights & sources of enrichment & support being Vicar here is our joint work with our Westminster Diocese The Oblates of Mary Immaculate Ireland & UK friends & neighbours. Catherine is also from Co. Tyrone where I myself was born: Irish takeover!

So so many prayers for Rosemarie Mallett (@rosemarie.mallett.bsky.social) whose prophetic voice for #UKME #GMH communities like ours @parishnw6 is so desperately needed in the The Church of England College of Bishops.
