Confirmation 2024

We send our Congratulations to the 23 young people within our Parishes in Communion who were confirmed by Bishop Bosco MacDonald on 20th of June at Our Lady of Lourdes & St Bernadette church.

Thank you to the catechists who gave their time, commitment and shared their faith, to all the families for their support and to all who helped make it a wonderful celebration.

We continue to offer our prayers and support to our young people as they continue to grow in faith.

Catholic Social Teaching video series – Introduction.

Listening to people in our diocese through synodal conversations, at diocesan events, and in informal chats, Clifton diocese has heard a desire for more formation in the topic of Catholic Social Teaching.
To begin responding to this desire, we have produced a five-part video series to offer a brief overview of Catholic Social Teaching intended to help grasp the big picture.
Our hope in producing these videos is to point to a few pathways by which you can further develop your understanding of the details.
Each video will recommend a few resources which go into greater depth on the subject of the video.
The first of these videos is launched today and is an introduction to Catholic Social Teaching.
Each new video will be made available on the Diocesan website every Friday.
The introduction video can be viewed here: Catholic Social Teaching

We are now actively seeking to recruit for the next Pastoral Ministry Formation course which begins in the Autumn 2024. The course is ideal for ANY parishioner who seeks to develop their capacity to serve the parish in anyway which they believe the Lord is calling them. If you are a catechist – this course is for you. If you are a minister in any form – this course if for you. If you are not involved in any way – but would like to be – this course if for you! Interested? – then please do come to one of our information evenings which will be taking place around the Diocese in June/July.

A message from our Laudato Si co-ordinator, Bella Harding:

"This was a march to 'Restore Nature Now', with 100 environmental organisations and about 80,000 people going to Parliament Sq, where Chris Packham and Emma Thomson spoke.

I was there with my fellow Christian activists, we started with an ecumenical service at Farm Street Catholic Church with Fr Dominic Robinson and Rev Helen Burnett.

It was a joyful occasion expressing our solidarity and a chance for a good number of Laudato Si Animators to meet 'in the flesh' and have this photo."

A Message from Our Lady of the Rosary School * 70th Anniversary *
