'Married life is a process of growth, in which each spouse is God’s means of helping the other to mature… At every new stage, they can keep ‘forming’ one another. Love makes each wait for the other with the patience of a craftsman, a patience which comes from God.' AL #221

National Marriage Week 7-14th February

Another lovely reflection from Our Holy Father which I share during National Marriage Week

We are in Scotland!! Traveling to the Ignatian Spirituality Centre in Glasgow to meet the Scottish Laity Network who want to adopt LOUDfence. Really looking forward to meeting them all. I can just imagine a LOUDfence of tartan ribbons. Would be amazing Gemma

On Wednesday 19 July 2023, Bishop Stephen Wright was Installed as the Fifteenth Bishop of Hexham and Newcastle. A video of Bishop Stephen's homily is available here: ow.ly/LGtu50PhaBY

Very emotional day and a powerful testimony… a true sign of change!

I'm on a train, again, on my way to Buckfast Abbey to talk to a "small" group of priests about LOUDfence. 10 or 12 is small. 90 priests is not a small group. Please keep me in your prayers Brian Devlin Will Ross g.co/kgs/Wid8eX

Bag is packed ready to go LOUDfence at Buckfast Abbey with Plymouth Diocese.....

I think it went really well today. Cannon Paul wants a recording of my talk and we have several volunteers who all want to hold LOUDfences in their parishes. The clergy of Plymouth have very warmly received the LOUDfence. We have been planning together. Watch this space.....

LOUDfence Wales Launch was emotional, powerful and has started so many new conversations between survivors and the whole church. Such a soothing and affirming event.
