Over 250 servers joined us at WestminsterCathedral yesterday and over 300 simultaneously in RC Birmingham for two diocese Masses for local Servers. Like the tiny mustard seed in today’s Gospel, may our young servers who made the journey to these and the other Masses the last few

It is the 28th Sunday of Ordinary Time which has displaced the 1st Feast Day as a Saint of St Carlo Acutis, recently canonised by Pope Leo. May his canonisation inspire our young people. Have a great Sunday everyone!

Hallam Diocese held their Mass for Servers on September 20th, celebrated by Bishop Ralph Heskett, at Holy Rood Church, Barnsley. This Mass had not run for many years and so it was wonderful to join the Hallam servers and clergy to resurrect this Mass to acknowledge their service.

“Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.” Today in Rome, Pope Leo will create 7 new saints, three women and four men, with two martyrs, three laypeople, and two founders of religious orders. We ask for their intercession today.
