We welcome Poppy Aurora Battle-Kirk, Santiago Lovelace Sherriff, and Aaliyah Margareth Louvelle Oliveros into our parish family, their parents, godparents and families.
![]() We have a hope in the Lord Jesus. As your new Archbishop, these are the most important first words I could ever say to you. In the Lord Jesus we have a hope for our world, a world which God created, a world which God loves. In Him we have a hope for our common humanity which God shared by taking flesh and dwelling among us. In the Lord Jesus we have a hope for the Church, Christ’s Body, called to announce the Gospel with confidence and joy. In Him we have a hope for each other, that our lives have a purpose, a dignity and a destiny, that we can live in love, with justice, for peace. We have a hope in the Lord Jesus, crucified and risen from the dead, alive in His Church, alive in His Word, alive in His Sacraments. Dear friends, we have a hope in the Lord Jesus, alive in us by the power of the Holy Spirit. Adoration – a process which brings wholeness to a fragile world begins. It allows contemplation which leads us to reflection and onwards to action.
There will be a one-hour Adoration in the parish this Sunday 4th August from 5pm – 6pm led by the African community. Everyone is welcome.
