BISHOP PETER’S FOREWORD

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

As you receive your copy of the 2024 Diocesan Yearbook, it will one year since my arrival in East Anglia as your Bishop. It has been such a joy and privilege to be in your midst and I thank you all for the warmth of your welcome.

The year has passed so swiftly but I have been able to visit over 80% of our parishes and religious communities and I look forward to visiting the remainder in the very near future.

The Yearbook and Directory provides a vast amount of material that is crucial for reference and delivers a panoramic presentation of diocesan life over the past year. I am most grateful to Keith Morris and his team for editing this publication. Within these pages you will see displayed a rich account of celebration and achievement across our

parishes and religious communities, our schools and institutions, our agencies and guilds.

The witness to faith and hope, the ministry in service to the great commandment of love, continues to be exercised by clergy, religious and lay faithful. We can delight in beholding an abundance of fruit and benefit across the horizons of East Anglia.

The Church must forever be a beacon of hope in the midst of a troubled world. At the threshold of a new year, we are acutely aware that many of our brothers and sisters are afflicted by the terrors of violence and the burdens of poverty, both material and spiritual. I have been in correspondence with the leaders of our twinning partnerships to express our on-going solidarity and support: Cardinal Pizzaballa, the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, and Monsignor Kiko, Apostolic Prefect of Battambang in Cambodia.

As we journey into 2024, let us acknowledge that many challenges await us, but we face the future not with trepidation but with full confidence. We are forever accompanied by the Lord as we take each step. Attentive to the teachings of His Holiness Pope Francis, in the spirit of the synodal pathway, may we learn to accompany our brothers and sisters in our common search for the fullness of truth and love.

As always, I offer you the assurance of my prayers and I ask that you keep me at the heart of yours. May God’s blessing sustain all our endeavours.

Rev Peter G Collins, Bishop of East Anglia

DIOCESE OF EAST ANGLIA

The Diocese of East Anglia is a suffragan diocese within the Province of Westminster, erected on 13 March 1976 by the decree Quod Ecumenicum of Pope Paul VI, using territory taken from the Diocese of Northampton, which was created in 1850. After the Reformation, the area of East Anglia was soon placed under the care of the Vicars Apostolic of the Midland District, and later of the Eastern District, until the hierarchy was restored by Pope Blessed Pius IX. Today, the Diocese incorporates the English counties of Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire and the city of Peterborough.

THE BISHOP

V The Rt Rev Peter Gwilym Collins was ordained to the priesthood for the Archdiocese of Cardiff on July 14, 1984. He served in Cardiff and Bridgend and was appointed as Vice Rector at the Royal English College, from 1989-94. In 2001 he became Dean of the Metropolitan Cathedral in Cardiff. He was appointed as Bishop of East Anglia in October 2022 and ordained at St John’s Cathedral on December 14, 2022.

He was ordained to the episcopate by Cardinal Murphy-O’Connor in 2003, as Titular Bishop of Chester-leStreet, and serving as auxiliary bishop in Westminster. He was appointed Bishop of East Anglia in 2013 and was installed in Norwich on July 16.

III The Rt Rev Michael Charles Evans was ordained Bishop of East Anglia by Cardinal Murphy-O’Connor in 2003 and served the Diocese until his death in 2011. His corporal remains are buried in St John’s Cathedral in Norwich.

II The Most Rev Peter David Smith was ordained Bishop of East Anglia by Cardinal Hume in 1995 and served as bishop until 2001, when he was translated to the See of Cardiff. In 2010, he became Archbishop of Southwark, until his retirement in 2019. He died in 2020 and is buried in Southwark Cathedral.

I The Rt Rev Alan Charles Clark was the first bishop of the new Diocese, from its creation in 1976 until his resignation in 1995. He was previously Titular Bishop of Elmham and Auxiliary Bishop of Northampton. He died in 2002 and is buried in Walsingham.

The course seeks to ensure that participants have at least a basic knowledge and understanding of the beliefs of the Catholic Faith. It also provides a basis for further study.

The course is designed for teachers in Catholic schools; that they may have a basic understanding of the Church, its teaching and way of life to enable them to contribute to the maintenance of the ethos of the Catholic school. It is also for catechists in order to give them a basic understanding of the faith of the Catholic Church as a foundation

for their catechetical ministry, and for adult members of the Church to enable them to continue to grow in understanding as they live their Catholic faith.

CARITAS EAST ANGLIA

Caritas East Anglia supports the poor and the marginalised in three ways: by promoting Catholic Social Teaching; through project grants and emergency aid; and by supporting those involved in social outreach. Our diocese is a member organisation of Caritas Social Action Network (CSAN) which is an agency of the Catholic Bishops Conference of England and Wales.

Catholic Social Teaching is the teaching of the Church on social responsibility, based on Papal Encyclicals and other documents. These reflect upon Jesus’ command to ‘love your neighbour as yourself’ (Mk 12:31) and show us how to share God’s love by our actions towards all our sisters and brothers. Articles exploring CST can be found in the diocesan paper and on our website: www.rcdea.org.uk/catholic-social-teaching

Financial assistance is available in two forms to those in need. The St Edmund’s Fund provides crisis grants to individuals or families. Alive in Faith grants are awarded to support local social outreach projects within parishes, examples of which can be seen on the diocesan website: www.rcdea.org.uk/caritas-east-anglia

For details of both funds, please contact your parish priest.

Fr Mark Ashwood

Former occupational therapist Mark Ashwood was ordained a priest by Bishop Peter Collins on Saturday July 8, at St John’s Cathedral in Norwich. Here is his vocation story.

n The interesting thing about my vocation story is that I wasn’t raised Catholic; instead, I was born into a Church of Ireland family in Belfast, Northern Ireland. I remember the first time I set foot in a Catholic church. I was a teenager visiting with one of my friends. There must have been a Mass just before our arrival, as I could still smell the lingering incense. I was thoroughly impressed by the stained-glass windows and the religious art.

However, what impressed me the most was the sight of people sitting in front of the tabernacle in silent prayer. I instinctively knew that something significant was happening. Later, at university, I began attending Catholic Mass with some friends, and it felt like coming home. So I decided I wanted to become a Catholic. I shared this with the priest at my local church, who asked if I was getting married. He couldn’t fathom why else I would want to change my religion, as it’s not a common occurrence in Northern Ireland. I also faced opposition from some family and friends and felt discouraged. Much like the biblical seeds that landed on rocky ground, my faith didn’t take root.

Fr Bienn Carlo Manuntag (left), Bishop Peter Collins and Fr Mark Ashwood.

My journey to Catholicism truly began after I finished my studies and moved to England. I worked as an occupational therapist, specialising in hand and upper limb rehabilitation in London. Later, I moved to Norwich to pursue my PhD in Medicine and Health Sciences. In my first year there, I was received into the Catholic Church. At the University of East Anglia, I was actively involved in the chaplaincy, and Fr Andrew Eburne encouraged me to attend a national discernment festival at St Mary’s Seminary. So, I went along with some of the Sisters from the congregation of the Daughters of Divine Charity and some other students.

One of the nuns, Sister Linda, was quite mischievous. She introduced me to every priest she knew, exclaiming: “This is Mark; he’s going to join the seminary!” She would then walk off, leaving me to explain to the bemused priest that I hadn’t considered the priesthood. However, something shifted during those few days. After a powerful talk on the priesthood and a sleepless night, I found myself in the chapel in the early hours, experiencing a moment of clarity during perpetual adoration of the Blessed Sacrament.

I felt the Lord calling me to be one of His priests. It seemed as though everything in my life had been leading up to that point, preparing me for the priesthood. The Lord revealed to me that while I thought I had reached the top of the mountain, I was actually only on a hill, and my true journey was just beginning. He had more in store for me than I could ever have imagined. Instead of being a healer of the body, He intended me to be a healer of souls. It was a deeply moving occasion, marked by laughter and tears.

Throughout the remainder of my doctorate, I pondered that life-altering night and decided to formally discern my vocation. Thus, upon finishing my PhD, I commenced my seminary studies at Allen Hall in London.

Seminary life had its ups and downs, but ultimately, it helped me grow as a person and equipped me with the tools to share the Good News. It also blessed me with lifelong friendships. A highlight of my time in the seminary was serving the Parish of St Paul the Apostle in Wood Green, London, over the past year, as a deacon.

There, I was able to exercise my ministry – preaching homilies, baptising babies, visiting the sick, and working as a chaplain for the confirmation group. Having completed my academic studies this year, I am eager to begin my priestly ministry. I am delighted that Bishop Peter Collins has agreed to ordain me.

I am looking forward to embarking on my priestly ministry. My vocation was born and nurtured here, and I believe this is where the Lord has called me to be. Therefore, I eagerly anticipate serving the people of East Anglia as one of your priests.

Fr Bienn Carlo Manuntag

Fr Bienn Carlo Manuntag was ordained at St John’s Cathedral in Norwich in July.

n Fr Bienn Carlo Manuntag comes from St Philip Howard Parish in Cambridge, with his family originally from the Philippines. Fr Bienn Carlo spent six years studying at St Mary’s College, Oscott in Birmingham and has now been appointed as Assistant Priest in St Luke’s, Peterborough.

Deacon Paul Raynes

Bishop Peter Collins ordained Paul Raynes, Diocese Director of Operations and Finance, as a permanent deacon for the diocese at St John’s Cathedral in Norwich in July. Here is his vocation story.

n You meet plenty of people who have a plan for their lives and careers. I’m one of the people who never did. As a result, I have managed to see and do a huge variety of apparently random things, from washing up in a restaurant, to selling double glazing, to running a Cabinet minister’s office, through journalism, teaching, and working for the local council, being a husband and father of a family, charity trustee and diplomat. And now ordination.

I suppose I knew at the time that I was just taking what God sent. Because of course, although I didn’t have a plan, I am absolutely certain that He did, and that He has led me to where I am now. A cousin, herself a religious sister, said forty years ago that I was the member of the family most likely to have a vocation; I don’t think she was right by chance.

Looking back, and knowing that the diaconate is, purely and simply, service (that’s what the word means), the fact that so much of what I have done in the past has been service of one kind or another – and for a lot of the time I was already called a (civil) servant – does make it look like a carefully-planned rehearsal for what lies ahead. When I told my wife I was exploring becoming a deacon, her instant response was “I thought you would do that.” She and God both knew something I didn’t.

During my time in formation, I spent a while studying and worshipping at St John’s, Wonersh. Over the altar there is a large Latin inscription that says “You didn’t choose me, I chose you.” That just about sums it up.

This is probably a good foundation for a deacon. It’s a ministry that can take a lot of forms and most deacons get used to being asked to do the unexpected. I am sure God will have some more surprises in store for me. If anyone were to ask me for vocations advice, I could only build on my own experience and say that God is inevitably in the driving seat: so trust in Him, and embrace the adventure that comes to you.

Deacon Clive Brooks

Suffolk Deacon Clive Brooks, a former Lourdes pilgrimage director and London policeman, died at the age of 86 in December 2022. friend Deacon John Morrill pays tribute.

n Clive Brooks (31 May 1936 – 21 December 2022) spent his early years under the shadow of war, bombed out of his family home at the age of four and left with no possession other than a blanket.

His mother, with her three children under five, were taken in by ‘an angel behind the blue door’ who shared what little she had with them. Difficult days followed but her selfless kindness guided him throughout his life.

After an East End childhood, he served in the RAF for three years as a dog-handler and a sharp-shooter, and it was then that he met Mary whom he married at the age of 20.

When he left the RAF he joined the Metropolitan Police where he served for 30 eventful years. His beat included the street in which the Kray twins, their brother Charlie and their formidable mum Violet, operated. He later sat between Ronnie and Reggie during their sentencing for murder. And, heavily armed and in body armour, he escorted them into court during the trial at a time when the intelligence was that the Mafia had picked up a contract to spring them in an armed raid. None of this appears to have fazed him.

As retirement beckoned, and already fully engaged in SVP and youth work in his parish, he felt a calling to the diaconate and the Bishop of Brentwood sent him to the fledging formation programme at St John’s Seminary in Wonersh.

He and Mary were looking for a place in the Essex countryside but they fell in love with a house in East Bergholt just over the Stour in Suffolk, so he was given a free transfer from Brentwood to East Anglia. He was ordained in June 1992 and served with equal distinction for another 30 years, mainly in the parish of St Mark’s Ipswich, with a short spell in St Mary Magdalen Ipswich.

For several years he was a wonderful director of the diocesan pilgrimage to Lourdes where he was much loved. To everything he did in life he brought dignity, modesty, integrity, loyalty and order. To watch him walking, as he had for so many years on the beat, with a slow, relentless, purposeful gait, was to witness to his whole way of life. He was a meticulous planner, he was calm under pressure, he had an absolute commitment to others more than to himself.

He and Mary became very active in a group of third order Franciscans and his charisms were deeply Franciscan. Clive was a natural deacon, committed to serving God and neighbour with calm discipline. A senior nurse at Ipswich Hospital singled him out (along with two revered pastoral priests) as the most outstanding of hospital chaplains. Although he could look stern, his smile was radiant and spoke of a man at peace with himself.

He handled Mary’s final illness and his bereavement 11 years ago with the same stoicism with which he faced his own long final battle with cancer and he died, as he had wanted, at home, supported by his family (two sons, three grandchildren, one great grandson) and by those friends who he had himself supported over the years.

His sacred visibility as a deacon has inspired many others to greater service of God in imitation of Christ the servant.

Fr Peter Edwards

Cambridge Catholic priest and author Fr Peter Edwards was was assistant priest at St Philip Howard Church in Cambridge from 1997 until 2021.

n Though working full-time right up until his death on December 18, 2022, Fr Peter was able to devote time and energy to the liturgical, spiritual, and social life of the parish. His own homilies were appreciated as insightful and thoughtprovoking.

Fr Philip John, his parish priest, writes: “Peter was a model for persistence and willpower. He wasn’t ready to give up anything because of his illness. He always tried to maintain the priestly koinonia in the deanery and was a good example for keeping relationships.”

Peter was born in Barking, Essex in 1959 and brought up in Hornchurch. He read Theology at St Hild and St Bede College, Durham University. While an Anglican ordinand at Ripon College, Cuddesdon, he met his wife, Gill, with whom he had three daughters, Zoe, Lucy, and Maria. Peter’s faith and his family were central to his life; he was immensely proud of his girls and their achievements.

Having been ordained in the Church of England and serving as an Anglican priest for 10

years in three different parishes, Peter followed his strong conviction to join the Roman Catholic Church in 1994, with no certainty that he would be ordained priest. He and his wife and young daughters gave up the security of their home in Suffolk and moved to Cambridge to be received into the Catholic communion. They became part of the congregation of OLEM in Cambridge until Peter was ordained priest in 1997, after which Fr Peter took up his role as assistant priest at St Philip Howard.

Though his condition, muscular dystrophy, gradually affected his mobility and, eventually, required him to use a wheelchair, he was determined to continue with family, social and church activities as much as he could. He said Mass regularly including saying the weekly Saturday evening Mass up until the start of the pandemic. Indeed, his muscular dystrophy gave him a deep understanding and empathy with his parishioners who had their own health difficulties and challenges.

In his personal life, Peter had a passion for live music and often travelled the country attending concerts. The Cambridge Folk Festival was a highlight of his year and he could always be found soaking up the atmosphere at Cherry Hinton Hall, rain or shine! He also loved watching sport, especially rugby and cricket. Whenever he could, he enjoyed attending international matches at Twickenham. These were interests which bonded him with parishioners of all ages, and he developed lifelong friendships within the parish.

Fr Paul Graham OSA

Former priest at Clare Priory, Fr Paul Graham OSA, died unexpectedly in Rome on Sunday December 11, 2022.

n At the time of his death, Fr Paul was Assistant General of the Order of St Augustine, residing in Rome, with responsibility for the Provinces of Northern Europe.

Fr Paul served as Provincial of the Province of England and Scotland for three terms 19972001, 2001-05, and 2013-17. He shared fully in the Augustinian ideal of community life, serving as prior and or parish priest in the Augustinian communities in Hammersmith, Harborne Birmingham, Edinburgh, Hoxton and Clare Priory where he served from 1993 to 2001.

Fr Paul began his religious life at Clare in 1971; he made his Solemn Profession and was ordained priest in 1976. On Sunday December 11 Paul had completed his early stint at a local soup kitchen and was taken ill as he prepared to celebrate Mass. He was aged 75.

Anthony Potter

Anthony Potter, who passed away in January, made a mark through his service in both civic and church life in Norfolk over the last 60 years.

n The highlight in a Catholic context came in 2004, when both Anthony and Joyce Potter received the Benemerenti award from the Pope, in recognition for their selfless devotion to the Church. This took place especially in the Diocese of East Anglia.

“Joseph, who died on January 8, is remembered for his tireless work in Costessey for St Augustine’s Voluntary Aided Primary School,” writes his son, Christopher Potter. “He was Foundation Governor from 1967 to 2001, Vice-Chairman from 1992 to 1995 and Chairman from 1995 to 2001. One of his achievements was to preserve a footpath (with public right of way) connecting St Augustine’s School with the Church of Our Lady and St Walstan. If he had not intervened, this once-rural way which kept pupils safe would have been lost in the midst of a modern housing development.”

Joseph was born in Birmingham in 1926, the first of seven children, to Louis and Catharina Potter. He was educated at the English Martyrs and St Philip’s Grammar School, both in Birmingham. Next, he went to Cotton College, north Staffordshire, followed by Oscott College where he received training for the priesthood lasting four years. In October 1948 (in his own words) his ‘theological studies came to an end’.

Following two brief jobs he made his life-long career in local government, starting on in July 1949 on an annual salary of £260. His early career was spent in the West Midlands where he met his future wife, Joyce Veronica (nee) Wilson at a Catholic parish bazaar. They were married on July 2, 1955.

In late 1963 he took up a post with Norfolk County Council Highways Department. He moved earlier than the rest of the family in order to find a suitable house. Whilst searching, he stayed with an old college friend, Fr Manley, who was parish priest at West Earlham, Norwich.

Though Anthony retired professionally as Chief Administrative Officer in 1987 he was always active throughout his life on behalf of the Church. Anthony was a member of the Catholic Marriage Advisory Council, Norwich Centre 1968-99; counsellor, 1968-90; secretary, 1972-90; chairman, 1990-93 and trustee, 1992-99.

He was also a member of the East Anglia Diocesan Social Welfare Commission, 198896 and Norwich LIFE treasurer, 1989-96. He was always interested in the education provided by the Catholic Church; his own family for two generations being involved, for which he was justly proud. His grandparents raised enough money to build a school in

Birmingham ahead of a church in the same grounds.

Over the years Anthony keenly maintained a display of CTS booklets; he was probably inspired by several relatives who were active members of The Catholic Evidence Guild. He is succeeded by his wife Joyce of 67 years, five children (his third born having predeceased him by eight days), 16 grandchildren and 13 great grandchildren.

“Anthony never failed in his commitment to charity work,” said Christopher, “and getting the balance right between his prayer life and the practical concerns of the day.”

Stalwart of All Souls Peterborough, reader, minister of Holy Communion and former Head of Maths, Michael Christopher Norton died aged 94 in December 2022.

n Michael was born in Blackpool, Lancashire, on August 6, 1928 and his family later moved to Leeds. During the Second World War he was evacuated to a boarding school in the Yorkshire Dales and developed a love of boxing. In the early post war years he went to Denmark to help build a youth hostel.

On August 20, 1958, he married Helen Mary Sharpe at Our Lady of Lourdes Church, Leeds and they were together for 55 years. She was a Community Midwife and Michael assisted with transport and carried heavy equipment such as the oxygen bottles. They had five children and by 2022 there were 12 grandchildren and three great grandchildren, a number of which attended the funeral.

Michael had kitchen skills and visitors were always well fed. Invariably there was Grace before meals. At Christmas Michael would dress up as Santa and there was a family photograph. He was proud he had established a dynasty of some 20 descendants. In 1967 the family moved to Peterborough where Michael was Head of Mathematics at Stanground School.

He was committed to All Souls Parish and due to his great faith was involved in the church and its wider church family. He was a reader, minister of Holy Communion, helped in the sacristy and was involved in choir camps.

Michael retired from teaching in 1987 and Helen died in 2013. In his later years he was seen regularly at daily Mass and leading morning prayers. He had a very loud voice and led the singing but was not always in tune!

Michael was into modern technology and possessed great IT skills. He had DVDs, was into social media and mastered smart phones and other gadgets. In his last few years he used crutches and a wheelchair. Peter Waszak, All Souls Honorary Archivist added:

“Michael had an interest in the church archives and was able to assist me with his photography stills and equipment.

Lt Col John Pitt

Two East Anglian bishops paid tribute to former Financial Secretary for the Diocese of East Anglia, Lt Col John Pitt, who died on July 1. Keith Morris reports..

n John, who lived in Hoxne in Suffolk with his wife Ellen, spent 12 years with the diocese, retiring in 2019, after a varied career as a banker, Army officer, military diplomat, military intelligence officer and Secretary of the Special Forces Club in London over a 58-year career.

John met Ellen, who was serving in Ottawa with HM Diplomatic Service, while he was negotiating with the Canadian Defence Department on behalf of the British Army for training facilities in Alberta. They were married for almost 50 years and had two sons and five grandchildren.

As Financial Secretary, John played a key role under two bishops and during the period of Sede Vacante after Bishop Michael’s death. The overall role was to support the bishop and the Diocesan Trustees in the routine management and strategic development and delivery of the diocesan mission.

During his appointment, John was instrumental in many diocesan initiatives, including Alive in Faith, which is still funding social outreach, seminarian training and securing the future of our retired priests.

Bishop Emeritus Alan Hopes paid tribute saying: “I will always be grateful to John for the support and encouragement that he gave to me personally for nearly eight years, as the Diocesan Financial Secretary and for the many hours he happily invested in the life and mission of our Diocese. The Diocese has much to thank John for, for his service over many years.

“He had a deep Catholic faith and a great love for the Church and her mission. This infused his work and all that he did. I know that many of the clergy and parish treasurers were appreciative of the help and encouragement that he readily gave them. He was always open to new initiatives for raising much urgent funding, such as Alive in Faith, and was instrumental in setting it up across the Diocese – no mean feat.

“He also faced major challenges head-on until they were sorted out, or at least progressed in the right direction. He was a true gentleman, always a calming and pragmatic presence in the Diocesan curial offices, making them a place where our staff felt valued and supported. He always gave his time to someone if they wished to see him and particularly if there were a real problem or a particular pressure worrying them. “He had a dour sense of humour, which came from his Scottish roots, and regaled us with many amusing stories from his vast experience of life which we missed when he retired,” said Bishop Alan. “Our prayers should be with Ellen and his two sons, together with their grandchildren at this time. May he rest in peace.”

Bishop Peter Collins said: “The Diocese has much to be grateful for to John for his time as our Financial Secretary. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife Ellen who is a committed member of Diss parish and who is also on the committee of the Friends of the Cathedral. Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen.”

John’s wife Ellen said: “I think John himself was delighted and honoured to be appointed by the Diocese but I can still see a little bewilderment as he wondered what it would entail. He very quickly adapted and loved it all The new acquaintances and friends he was so fortunate to meet made his life at Poringland happy.

“It is sad that John’s health on retirement let him down, depriving him of the time he wanted to spend with the grandchildren; but he never gave up hope and his faith was a boost to my own. I know he will continue to be there for me even if not physically present as our long life together was a real blessing and leaves that dreadful ‘emptiness’.”

FINANCIAL REPORT

The Roman Catholic Diocese of East Anglia Summarised Accounts for year ended 31 December 2022 Statement of Financial Activities20222021

These summarised accounts may not contain sufficient information to allow for a full understanding of the financial affairs of the charity. For further information, the full annual accounts, the auditor’s report on those accounts, and the Trustees’ Annual Report should be consulted.

Copies of these can be obtained from the Finance Office, The White House, 21 Upgate, Poringland, Norwich NR14 7SH or on the Diocese’s website www.rcdea.org.uk.

Statement of the Trustees

We confirm that this extract is a summary of information relating to both the Statement of Financial Activities and Balance Sheet from the annual accounts of the Diocese. The annual accounts were approved at the Trustees’ meeting of 21 September 2023 and have been submitted to the Charity Commission. The Auditors’ Report as given in the full accounts was unqualified.

The Rt Rev Peter G Collins 31 October 2023

Auditors’ Statement to the Trustees of the Roman Catholic Diocese of East Anglia

We have examined the summarised financial statements set out on this page.

Respective Responsibilities of Trustees and Auditors

The Trustees have prepared these summarised financial statements. The Auditors have agreed to report on their consistency with the full financial statements, on which we reported on 31 October 2023.

Basis of Opinion

We have carried out the procedures we consider necessary to ascertain whether the summarised financial statements are consistent with the full financial statements from which they have been prepared.

Opinion

In our opinion the summarised accounts are consistent with the full accounts of the Diocese for the year ended 31 December 2022.

Price Bailey LLP, 3 November 2023

Notes to the Accounts

1. The Diocese is a single charity under English law. The financial statements reflect that. They aggregate the income, expenditure, and assets of all 52 individual parishes together with central Diocesan activity. The parishes account for 75% of the total income figure shown in the summary accounts, for 56% of the total expenditure shown, and for 72% of funds carried forward. Central diocesan expenditure supports the parishes with expertise and infrastructure - including support on issues such as safeguarding, supports the Diocese’s 28 schools, and pays for the training of new clergy and the support of those no longer able to exercise an active ministry.

2. Income overwhelmingly depends on donations from the faithful during the year. This accounts for 73% of total income. The offertory at Mass has now recovered to marginally more than the level which preceded the Covid lockdown. Adjusted for inflation, however, this is about a third less than was received in 2019. Costs, meanwhile, have gone up significantly: many parishes have seen large increases in their energy bills, for example.

3. This means that the Diocese made a large operating deficit in 2022, of £1.2 million, which compares with an operating position in 2021 which was slightly better than break-even. The overall surplus of £0.7 million shown in the summary financial statements includes a £2.7 million gain which resulted from the revaluation of investment properties.

4. The Balance Sheet shows an improvement of £0.7 million over the year. This is entirely due to the net effect of a revaluation of investment properties, which provided a £2.7 million boost to the fixed assets position. Most of this paper gain was offset by a fall in the market value of the Diocese’s financial investments and by the erosion of the Diocese’s cash position as a result of the operating deficit.

5. Overall funds are principally represented by parish property, which benefited on paper from the revaluation of investment properties. The Diocese’s cash position deteriorated by £0.8 million during the year. At 31 December 2022, the Diocese’s reserves, including parishes, stood at £35.5 million. Of that amount, £25.4 million was held by parishes as unrestricted reserves. A further £8.6 million of reserves were restricted or designated for particular purposes. Unrestricted reserves fell over the year by £1.1 million.

6. The Diocese’s Alive in Faith fundraising campaign ran from 2015 to 2022. Over that time, it raised over £6.3 million in pledges. Some of those pledges have been renewed. 49 parishes have spent Alive in Faith funds on parish projects. The balance of the Alive in Faith fund was £1.2 million at 31 December 2022.

7. A new Stewardship programme was launched during 2022 and is continuing to be rolled out in parishes. This seeks to encourage donors to give of their time and talents by volunteering activity, as well as also seeking to increase donations.

If you have a relative or a friend or are being admitted to hospital, please ensure that you indicate that you or they are a Catholic, and would like the Catholic Chaplain to be informed of your presence in hospital. Otherwise, the Catholic Chaplain will not know that a Catholic patient is in the hospital. The secular authorities are not permitted to tell the Church if a patient is Catholic, and, according to secular rules and regulations, chaplains and parish priests are not permitted to communicate with one another regarding your presence in hospital without your permission. It is also good practice to inform hospital staff that you would like receive visitors, as some hospitals will not permit visitors who are not close family without prior permission from the patient.

Please inform: The hospital chaplain

Your parish priest

STELLA MARIS

Stella Maris (Apostleship of the Sea) is the official maritime agency of the Catholic Church in Great Britain. Stella Maris is a registered charity (No 1069833) reliant on the annual Sea Sunday appeal and donations to sustain its ministry. Ninety percent of world trade is carried by ship; however, seafarers and fishers often work in dangerous conditions suffering loneliness, deprivation and even exploitation. Stella Maris deploys chaplains and ship visitors who welcome merchant seafarers and fishers to our shores and provide for their pastoral and practical needs – regardless of creed or nationality.

Catholic seafarers and fishers are also given the opportunity to receive the sacraments. In addition, Stella Maris provides chaplains on board cruise ships, works to maintain seafarers’ centres inside ports, and collaborates with industry bodies to speak up for seafarers’ and fishers’ rights. Stella Maris relies on a network of valued contacts and volunteers to sustain its development.

If any parish would like to hear more about offering prayer, volunteering or financial support to help the work of Stella Maris please email: info@stellamarismail.org.

DIOCESAN CALENDAR FOR EAST ANGLIA 2024

“Christ’s saving work is celebrated in sacred memory by the Church on fixed days throughout the course of the year. Each week on the day called the Lord’s Day the Church commemorates the Lord’s resurrection. Once a year at Easter the Church honours the resurrection of the Lord and his blessed passion with the utmost solemnity. In fact, through the yearly cycle the Church unfolds the entire mystery of Christ and keeps the anniversaries of the saints.”

(GNLY 1)

Preliminary Notes

n This Calendar is based on the GENERAL ROMAN CALENDAR, the NATIONAL CALENDAR as contained in the Roman Missal (2010) and the revised DIOCESAN CALENDAR.

n The titular and anniversary of dedication of each church are kept as Solemnities. Lest they be overlooked, it is advisable to mark them in this Calendar.

n Local observances are permitted of Saints or Beati connected in some way with the locality, as through birth, ministry, death, or custody of major relics. The Bishop should be consulted in each instance.

n On the ‘green’ ferias per annum (of the year) a wide choice of Mass formula is available: EITHER of any of the 34 Sundays per annum (with the prayers of the Sunday selected, or of another Sunday, or those provided ad diversa), OR of any Saint mentioned on that day in the Martyrology, OR of any votive Mass or Mass ad diversa, OR of any Mass for the dead (provided that the daily Mass formula is only used when the Mass is, in fact, applied for the dead).

The Requiem Mass which forms part of the funeral rite is allowed on any day except the Paschal Triduum, the Sundays of Advent, Lent and Easter, and the Holydays of Obligation.

n The Gloria is said on all Sundays (apart from Advent and Lent), Solemnities, Feasts, and other solemn celebrations, but not on Memorials. The Credo is said on Sundays and Solemnities, and is also allowed at other solemn celebrations.

n THE LECTIONARY. On Sundays, Cycle B (Year 2) is to be used until the First Sunday of Advent, when Cycle C (Year 3) begins. The weekday readings are of Year 1. Attention is drawn to the section headed ‘Principles of Choice’ in the introduction. A decided preference is expressed for continuous readings, as provided for the weekdays throughout the year, even though a Memorial occurs (apart from the few instances noted in the Calendar of a strictly proper reading). The 1981 Lectionary provides readings for Feasts observed in this country (Vol II, pp 1316 and fol). For other Solemnities and Feasts lacking proper readings, the appropriate Common should be used, while suitable readings may be chosen for special celebrations.

The new Lectionary will come into use on the First Sunday of Advent.

n As Eucharistic Prayer IV must always be used with its own preface, the days on which it may not be used have been indicated by the note ‘Not EP IV’.

The Eucharistic Prayer for Masses for Various Needs and Eucharistic Prayers for Reconciliation also have integral prefaces, and may not be used on Sundays or days when EP IV is not permitted.

n Parish priests are bound to offer Mass for their people on all Sundays and Holydays

of Obligation.

n The necrology includes all clergy of the former Northampton Diocese from the year 1850. Places in parenthesis are where priests died or retired from. Any errors or omissions in the necrology of diocesan clergy should be notified to the Bishop’s Personal Assistant.

NATIONAL CYCLE OF PRAYER

Introduction

In the Catholic tradition the human experience of time is used as a way of engaging us with the saving mystery of Christ’s passion, death and resurrection. The cycle of days, weeks and the whole year is, for this reason, of supreme importance in Christian worship.

Each week, on the day called the Lord’s Day, the Church commemorates the Lord’s resurrection. Once a year, at Easter, the Church honours this resurrection and passion with the utmost solemnity. Through the yearly cycle the Church unfolds the entire mystery of Christ and keeps the anniversary of the saints.

All other celebrations need to find their proper place in the Calendar so that the principal mysteries of the redemption do not lose their appropriate prominence.

Amongst these other celebrations, from the earliest times have been the rogation and ember days, days of prayer for particular need or in thanksgiving for particular blessings of the Lord. Since 1972, the Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales has preferred to drop all distinction between ember and rogation days, and to speak simply of Days of special prayer.

In 1972, six such days were introduced, but in the years which followed the number of such days increased to such an extent that they risked intruding on the celebration of the liturgical year, and especially on the celebration of the Lord’s Day on Sundays. Subsequently the Bishops’ Conference concluded that from Advent 1996 these Days of special prayer be subsumed into and replaced by a Cycle of Prayer.

The Cycle of Prayer seeks to preserve the integrity of the Sunday liturgy, without losing sight of the importance of being united with the universal or local Church in praying and working for important intentions. It seeks to do this by encouraging the faithful to pray for the intentions set out in the Cycle in their personal prayers throughout the period specified, and not only at Mass on a particular day.

The Cycle of Prayer is based on a division of the year into six periods, three of these being the principal liturgical seasons of Advent/Christmas; Lent and Easter and the other three being divisions of Ordinary Time, namely Winter, Summer and Autumn.

Each of these six periods is allocated its proper series of intentions for prayer, which may be taken up by both individuals and parishes and other groups throughout the season. Each individual intention also has its particular focal point, ie a particular celebration or Day of Prayer ordered by the Holy See.

How might a parish keep the Cycle of Prayer?

Outside of the Liturgy

n Intentions for the whole period might be listed in the parish newsletter or printed

on a prayer card so as to help individual parishioners keep in mind and pray for the intentions for that period.

n Publicity and informational material might be displayed on parish noticeboards.

n Prayer-focuses may be placed in an appropriate place in the Church – following the example of the candle symbol popularised by Amnesty International.

n Parish meetings might be arranged so as to better inform parishioners about the particular objects of the intention (eg peace, Christian unity, the place and role of women in the Church and the world, the sick, sea-farers, racial justice, prisoners and their families). This will also give the opportunity for parishioners to learn how they might become actively involved in working for the fulfilling of the intentions for which they pray.

n Retiring collections might be taken to support particular forms of pastoral activity.

Within the Liturgy - Mass

n On the Day of Special Prayer itself, and especially on Sundays, it is appropriate to announce the Day of Special Prayer in the opening remarks at the beginning of Mass, and for the special intention to be included in the Prayer of the Faithful (Bidding Prayers). Care should be taken that the remaining petitions of the Prayer of the Faithful should be formulated in accordance with the norms given in the General Instruction of the Roman Missal.

n When a Day of Prayer or other observance falls on a Sunday, the Mass and Lectionary texts of the Sunday are normally to be used.

n On weekdays the use of suitable ‘Masses for Various Needs and Occasions’ or ‘Votive Masses’ should be considered to support the marking of the Day of Prayer. The readings assigned for each day in the Lectionary for weekdays should not be omitted too frequently and without sufficient reason. It is often more fruitful to explore any special intentions through the readings assigned to the day, than to choose from the Common those which may appear at first sight more appropriate to the intention.

n The homily at Mass is necessary for the nurturing of the Christian life. It should develop some aspect of the readings from the scriptural readings or liturgical texts of the Mass, while taking into account the mystery being celebrated or the needs proper to the listeners. The homily should not be narrowly confined to the intention of the Cycle of Prayer alone, nor be replaced by a non-homiletic talk or an appeal for money.

Other Liturgies and Celebrations

n When it is desired to have a form of extended prayer for one of the intentions in the Cycle of Prayer, serious consideration should be given to holding a special noneucharistic service for that purpose, such as a Vigil, the Evening Prayer of the Church, a Liturgy of the Word, or a procession with litanies.

n Exposition of the Blessed Sacrament, ‘which must clearly express the cult of the Blessed Sacrament in its relationship to the Mass’, should also be considered. It should be noted that there is specific provision within this rite for special prayers.

n When considering how particular intentions are to be presented and marked within a parish, every effort should be made to extend the invitation to participate in this to all members of the parish, including the younger members of the parish, and the housebound.

Each of the 52 parishes within the Diocese of East Anglia will be allocated one week during the year during which to pray, not only for the Intentions of the National Cycle of Prayer, but also for Vocations to the Priesthood and to the Religious Life, and the Needs and Intentions of the Diocese. During this week, each Parish shall also have the opportunity to celebrate 40 Hours of Eucharistic Adoration, including as they do so, the specific prayers and initiatives of the New Evangelisation.

NATIONAL CYCLE OF PRAYER

During Ordinary Time – (Winter) i.e. up to Lent, we are asked to pray for these intentions:

Peace on Earth: especially on 2nd Sunday in Ordinary Time and on Racial Justice Day which occurs three Sundays before the 1st Sunday of Lent. The World Day of Prayer for Peace is marked on 1 January. As this day is when the Church celebrates

the Solemnity of Mary Mother of God and it is the beginning of the new year in England, the day is transferred to 2nd Sunday in Ordinary Time. There may be a collection on this day for the work of Pax Christi. The day of prayer for Racial Justice is organised by the ecumenical Churches' Commission for Racial Justice. Within the Catholic Church material is distributed by Catholic Association for Racial Justice (CARJ) for whom a collection may be taken on this day.

Prayer:

O God of peace, who are peace itself and whom a spirit of discord cannot grasp, nor a violent mind receive, grant that those who are one in heart may persevere in what is good and that those in conflict may forget evil and so be healed.

Roman Missal

Christian Unity: especially during the Week of Prayer for Christian Unity: 18–25 January. The Week was originally begun in 1908 by the American Episcopalian clergyman Paul Wattson who later became a Catholic. The Week begins on 18 January and ends on 25 January—the Feast of the Conversion of St Paul. Material for the Week of Prayer is prepared in collaboration by Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity and The Commission on Faith and Order of the World Council of Churches. Each year this material is produced by Christians in a different country.

Prayer:

May the divisions among Christians be overcome so that we may hasten to your eternal Kingdom in the perfect communion of the Church cf. Roman Missal

Openness to the Word of God: especially on 3rd Sunday in Ordinary Time

The Sunday of the Word of God takes place on the third Sunday in Ordinary Time. Pope Francis’ Apostolic Letter, issued motu proprio, 'Aperuit illis', published on 30 September 2019, establishes that 'the Third Sunday in Ordinary Time is to be devoted to the celebration, study and dissemination of the Word of God'

Prayer

All­wise God, as you have granted us to drink with delight from the Word that leads us to know you, in your goodness grant us also to come at length to you, source of all wisdom and stand for ever before your face. Based on a prayer of St Bede the Venerable

Victims of Trafficking: especially on feast of St Josephine Bakhita — 8 February. St Josephine Bakhita is the Sudanese saint who at the age of nine was kidnapped and sold into slavery. She suffered terribly at the hands of her kidnappers so much so that she forgot her birth name. Her kidnappers gave her the name ‘Bakhita’ which means ‘Fortunate’.

Prayer

O God, who led Saint Josephine Bakhita from abject slavery to the dignity of being your daughter and a bride of Christ, grant, we pray, that by her example we may

show constant love for the Lord Jesus crucified, remaining steadfast in charity and prompt to show compassion.

Roman Missal

The Sick and Those Who Care for Them: especially on World Day of Prayer for the Sick — 11 February. 11 February is the feast of Our Lady of Lourdes. On this day the Church is asked to pray and give attention to the sick and those who care for them. Each year the Holy Father writes a message.

Prayer

Accept the prayers we offer for our brothers and sisters who are ill, that, having been anxious for them in their danger, we may rejoice at their recovery of health.

cf. Roman Missal

The Unemployed: especially on the Sunday before Ash Wednesday. The Day of Prayer for the Unemployed was organised by Church Action on Poverty. They have renamed their day as Poverty Action Sunday. Caritas-Social Action is the agency in the Catholic Church which acts an umbrella for many diocesan and local organisations concerned with poverty and other social issues.

Prayer

O God, the source of human dignity, in your image every person is fashioned and by your Son all people are redeemed. Make us honour the work of your hands, that we may reverence you in those whom the world considers least and serve you in all whom society neglects.

NATIONAL CYCLE OF PRAYER

During Lent we are asked to pray for these intentions:

Candidates for the Sacraments: especially on the Sundays of Lent

For those preparing to be initiated into the Church at Easter, Lent marks the final stage of preparation, the period of Purification and Enlightenment. It begins with the Rite of Election on the First Sunday of Lent. During the season of Lent the Scrutinies are celebrated on the 3rd, 4th and 5th Sundays in preparation for Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist at the Easter Vigil. Many parishes will also receive candidates for Reception into the Church.

‘The people of God, as represented by the local Church, should understand and show by their concern that the initiation of adults is the responsibility of all the baptised.’

‘During Lent, the period of purification and enlightenment, the faithful should take care to participate in the rites of the scrutinies and presentations and give the elect the example of their own renewal in the spirit of penance, faith, and charity. At the Easter Vigil, they should attach great importance to renewing their own baptismal promises.’ RCIA 9

The celebration of other Sacraments, such as Confirmation and First Holy Communion, will often take place within the Easter season so that candidates for these Sacraments will also be preparing in Lent. These candidates should also be remembered in the prayers of the community.

Prayer

Father of love and power, it is your will to establish everything in Christ and to draw us into his all­embracing love.

Guide the elect of your Church, strengthen them in their vocation, build them into the kingdom of your Son, and seal them with the Spirit of your promise.

Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults

The Needy and Hungry of the World; especially on Lenten Fast Day —Friday of the first week in Lent.

The agency for overseas development, CAFOD, encourages the Church in England and Wales to use the Friday of the first week in Lent as an opportunity to remember the needy and hungry of the world. The day is an opportunity for the three Lenten disciplines of Prayer, Fasting and Almsgiving which derive from the proclamation of the Word on Ash Wednesday.

The proceeds from the practice of fasting on the Friday are usually collected at Mass on the 2nd Sunday of Lent.

Prayer

All powerful Father, God of goodness, you provide for all your creation. Give us an effective love for our brothers and sisters who suffer from lack of food. Help us do all we can to relieve their hunger, that they may serve you with carefree hearts.

Roman Missal

World Day of Prayer; especially on 1st Friday in March

The World Day of Prayer is a worldwide movement of Christian women who come together to observe a common day of prayer held on the first Friday in March each year, and who, in many countries, have a continuing relationship in prayer and service. Through the World Day of Prayer women are encouraged to become aware of their talents and use them in the service of the wider community.

Prayer

Father, you have given all peoples one common origin, and your will is to gather them as one family in yourself.

Fill the hearts of all women with the fire of your love and the desire to ensure justice for all.

Hear the prayers offered you by women throughout the world for an end to all division, and a human society built on love and peace.

Roman Missal (adapted)

Penitents and Wanderers:

The twin themes of Lent are baptism and penance. Lent is a time of reflection and preparation for Easter. Many parishes offer opportunities for the celebration of the Sacrament of Penance in the Lenten season. In recent years some parishes have explored using the Lenten period as a time to assist those returning to the Church after a period of not being active in the life of the Church. This reflects the ancient practice of the Order of Penitents which reached its end on the morning of Holy Thursday.

Prayer

God of power and might, we praise you through your Son, Jesus Christ, who comes in your name.

He is the Word that brings salvation. He is the hand you stretch out to sinners. He is the way that leads to your peace.

God our Father, we had wandered far from you, but through your Son you have brought us back.

You gave him up to death so that we might turn again to you and find our way to one another.

THURSDAY OF HOLY

WEEK (MAUNDY THURSDAY) THE SACRED PASCHAL TRIDUUM

The celebrations of the Sacred Triduum are to be carried out in cathedral and parochial churches and only in those churches in which they can be performed with dignity, that is, with a good attendance of the faithful, an appropriate number of ministers, and the means to sing at least some of the parts. Consequently, it is desirable that small communities, associations and special groups of various kinds join together in these churches to carry out the sacred celebrations in a more noble manner (Norms forthe Sacred Paschal Triduum, Roman Missal p. 329 #3). A priest may not celebrate the rites of the Sacred Triduum on his own.

MASS OF THE LORD’S SUPPERW

Gl. Pf of Eucharist I. “In communion with, Therefore, Lord” and “On the day before” pr. Not EP IV.

The Mass of the Lord’s Supper is celebrated in the evening; crosses may be veiled in white and the altar decorated with flowers in moderation. The tabernacle should be entirely empty and sufficient hosts consecrated for today and tomorrow. The Altar of Repose should be decorated with flowers and candles. While the Gloria is sung, all the bells in the church are rung and then remain silent until the Gloria of the Easter Vigil. During the same period, the organ and other musical instruments may be used only to support the singing. The Washing of Feet may take place during the Mass. Following the Prayer after Communion, the Blessed Sacrament is taken to the Altar of Repose where it is kept in a tabernacle. Solemn Adoration may not continue after midnight. After the Blessed Sacrament has been transferred, the altar is stripped of all cloths, cross and candles.

29Fri GOOD FRIDAY. Day of Fast and Abstinence. R Office of Readings and Morning Prayer with the people recommended.

The Celebration of the Passion of the Lord about 3.00 pm, unless pastoral reasons suggest a later hour. HC may be

given to the faithful only at this celebration but may be brought to the sick at any hour.

According to the Church’s ancient tradition, only the Sacraments of Penance and Anointing of the Sick may be celebrated today and tomorrow.

Today, HC may only be given as Viaticum Canon Bernard Murray +1924 (Lynford) Fr Henry Macklin +1956 (Cople)

NATIONAL CYCLE OF PRAYER

During Easter we are asked to pray for these intentions:

New Members of the Church: The Easter Vigil is the usual time to celebrate the Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist) with Adults. The Easter Season is therefore the time for post-baptismal catechesis or 'mystagogy' with the newly baptised or 'neophytes'.

‘This is a time for the community and the neophytes together to grow in deepening their grasp of the paschal mystery and in making it part of their lives through meditation on the Gospel, sharing in the Eucharist, and in doing works of charity.’ RCIA 234

In many communities and dioceses, the Easter Season is a privileged time to celebrate the Sacraments of First Communion and Baptism.

Prayer

Father, you give your Church constant growth by adding new members to your family. Help us put into action in our lives the baptism we have received in faith

Roman Missal

Vocations: Especially on World Day of Prayer for Vocations — 4th Sunday of Easter

The World Day of Prayer for Vocations is held each year on the Fourth Sunday of Easter. In the Gospel of John read on this Sunday, in each of the three years, Jesus speaks of himself as the Good Shepherd. The Good Shepherd who has come so that people may have life to the full, the one who lays down his life for his sheep, the one who knows his sheep — they recognise his voice.

Prayer

Father, in your plan for our salvation you provide shepherds for your people. Fill your Church with the spirit of courage and love. Raise up worthy ministers of your altars and ardent but gentle servants of the gospel.

Roman Missal

Human Work: Especially on St Joseph the Worker —1 May

The commemoration of St Joseph the Worker on 1 May was instituted by Pius XII in 1955. It proposes the example and intercession of Joseph as worker and provider.

Prayer

God our Father, creator and ruler of the universe, in every age you call men and women to develop and use their gifts for the good of others. With St Joseph as our example and guide, help us to do the work you have asked and come to the rewards you have promised.

Roman Missal (adapted)

The Right Use of the Media: Especially on World Communications day — the seventh Sunday of Easter

‘Go out to the whole world; proclaim the Good News to all creation’ is the message of the Gospel on the Solemnity of the Ascension of the Lord. The Solemnity offers the starting point for understanding the right use of the media. The day is established by the Pontifical Council for Social Communications and each year there is message from the Holy Father

Prayer

Father of light, from whom every good gift comes, send your Spirit into our lives with the power of a mighty wind, and by the flame of your wisdom open the horizons of our minds.

Loosen our tongues to sing your praise in words beyond the power of speech, for without your Spirit men and women could never raise their voice in words of peace or announce the truth that is Jesus the Lord

Roman Missal

The Church: Especially at Pentecost

Throughout the Season of Easter the first reading at Mass is taken from the Acts of the Apostles. Luke tells the story of the early Church from the Ascension and Pentecost to the early missions of the apostles.

‘When the work which the Father gave the Son to do on earth was accomplished, the Holy Spirit was sent on the day of Pentecost in order that he might continually sanctify the Church. Then "the Church was openly displayed to the crowds and the spread of the Gospel among the nations, through preaching, was begun." As the "convocation" of all men for salvation, the Church in her very nature is missionary, sent by Christ to all the nations to make disciples of them.’ Catechism 767

‘Those who with God’s help have welcomed Christ's call and freely responded to it are urged on by love of Christ to proclaim the Good News everywhere in the world. This treasure, received from the apostles, has been faithfully guarded by their successors. All Christ’s faithful are called to hand it on from generation to generation,

by professing the faith, by living it in fraternal sharing, and by celebrating it in liturgy and prayer.’ Catechism 3

Prayer

God our Father, in all the churches scattered throughout the world you show forth the one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.

Through the gospel and the Eucharist bring your people together in the Holy Spirit and guide us in love.

Make us a sign of your love for all people, and help us show forth the living presence of Christ in the world.

NATIONAL CYCLE OF PRAYER

During Ordinary Time (Autumn), i.e. from September to Christ the King, we are asked to pray for these intentions:

The Harvest: the Fruits of Human Work and the Reverent Use of Creation; especially on World Day of prayer for the Care of Creation (1 September) and on last Sunday in September or whenever Harvest Festivals are held.

‘"The annual World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation will offer individual believers and communities a fitting opportunity to reaffirm their personal vocation to be stewards of creation, to thank God for the wonderful handiwork which he has entrusted to our care, and to implore his help for the protection of creation as well as his pardon for the sins committed against the world in which we live."’

(Pope Francis, Letter inaugurating World Prayer of Care for Creation)

The Church has long celebrated the agricultural harvest. This intention also includes all human work. In all circumstances of human life there are choices to be made regarding the environment and our reverent stewardship of the God's gift of creation.

‘"The external deserts in the world are growing, because the internal deserts have become so vast. Therefore the earth's treasures no longer serve to build God's garden for all to live in, but they have been made to serve the powers of exploitation and destruction" (Benedict XVI, homily at Inaugural Mass, 2005). ’

Prayer

O Lord, good Father, who in your providence have entrusted the earth to the human race, grant, we pray, that with the fruits harvested from it we may be able to sustain life and, with your help, always use them to promote your praise and the wellbeing of all.

Roman Missal

Students and Teachers: especially on Education Day — 2nd Sunday of September

The day of prayer for Education is organised ecumenically by the Education agencies of the various denominations.

In the Catholic Church material is distributed by the Catholic Education Service. There may be a collection for the Agency on this Sunday.

Prayer

God is the source of all wisdom and knowledge.Let us ask him to bless those who seek to learn and their teachers.

For students, that the Spirit of God may grant them the gifts of wisdom of understanding.

For teachers, that they may share their knowledge with gentleness, patience, and concern for their students.

Book of Blessings

The Spread of the Gospel: especially on Evangelii Gaudium Day: 3rd Sunday in September and World Mission Day: the penultimate Sunday in October

Evangelii Gaudium Day is on the 3rd Sunday in September. Material for the day is prepared by the Home Mission Desk. There may be a collection to support the work of the agency.

World Mission Day is on the penultimate Sunday in October. A Mass 'for the Spread of the Gospel' may be celebrated on this Sunday. Each year the Holy Father writes a message for World Mission day. In England and Wales material is produced for parishes by the Pontifical Mission Societies. There may be a collection for their work on this day.

Prayer

O God, whose will it is that all should be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth, look upon your abundant harvest and be pleased to send workers to gather it, that the Gospel may be preached to all creation and that your people, gathered by the word of life and sustained by the power of the Sacraments, may advance in the path of salvation and love.

Roman Missal

Justice and Peace in the World: especially on Harvest Fast Day: 1st Friday in October. The Harvest Fast Day is one of two such days organised by CAFOD. The money offered from the fasting is usually collected at Mass on the following Sunday.

Prayer

O God, who show a father’s care for all, grant, in your mercy, that the members of the human race, to whom you have given a single origin, may form in peace a single family and always be united by a fraternal spirit.

Roman Missal

Prisoners and their Families: especially on Prisoners Sunday (2nd Sunday in October) and in Prisons Week: 2nd Week in October

Prisoners Week was a Catholic initiative begun in 1975 by Bishop Victor Guazelli which has since gained ecumenical support and observance. It reflects the work of the Prison Advice and Care Trust which builds on its origins as the Bourne Trust — the Catholic Prisoner's Aid Society. The Sunday and the following week seek to focus attention not only on the needs of prisoners but on all those involved the field of prison care, prisoners families, victims of crime, prison staff and many volunteers.

Prayer

Almighty and merciful God, to whom alone the secrets of the heart lie open, who recognize the just and make righteous the guilty, hear our prayers for your servants held in prison, and grant that through patience and hope they may find relief in their affliction and soon return unhindered to their own

Roman Missal

All Victims of War: especially on Remembrance Sunday: 2nd Sunday in November

Remembrance Sunday falls on the Sunday nearest Armistice Day, 11 November, which marks the end of the First World War. On this day are remembered all those who gave their lives for their country, all who suffered and died through acts of war and those who were left behind to grieve and mourn. In England and Wales one Mass for the Dead may celebrated on this Sunday.

Prayer

O God, merciful and strong, who crushes wars and casts down the proud, be pleased to banish violence swiftly from our midst and to wipe away all tears, so that we may all truly deserve to be called your children.

Roman Missal

Young People: especially on Christ the King: 34th Sunday in Ordinary Time.

The Church in England and Wales has marked the contribution of young people on Christ the King for many years. Universally it is marked on Palm Sunday. In many parishes it is an opportunity to focus on the role of young people in the Sunday liturgy and in the life of the parish. Over the last few years material prepared to assist the day has used the live simply campaign. There may be a collection for diocesan and national youth services on this day.

Prayer

O God, who gave one origin to all peoples and willed to gather from them one family for yourself, fill all hearts of all young people, we pray, with the fire of your love and kindle in them a desire for the just advancement of their neighbour, that, through the good things which you richly bestow upon all, each human person may be brought to perfection, every division may be removed, and equity and justice may be established in human society.

NATIONAL CYCLE OF PRAYER

During Advent and Christmastide, we are asked to pray for these intentions:

Migrants and Refugees: especially on 3 December.

On December 3rd the Church commemorates St Francis Xavier. This is the day chosen by the Pontifical Council for the Pastoral Care of Migrants and Itinerant People to mark World Migration Day. Each year there is a message from the Holy Father reflecting on the 'signs of the times'.

“Asylum seekers and refugees - I wish to underline how the tendency is to stop at the question of their arrival while disregarding the reasons for which they left their native land.” [Benedict XVI - Message for World Migration day 2005]

Prayer

Lord, no one is a stranger to you and no one is ever far from your loving care. In your kindness watch over refugees and exiles, those separated from their loved ones, young people who are lost, and those who have left or run away from home. Bring them back safely to the place where they long to be and help us always to show your kindness to strangers and those in need.

Roman Missal: For Refugees and Exiles

Expectant Mothers: especially on 4th Sunday of Advent

The Gospel on the 4th Sunday of Advent focusses on the role of Mary in our salvation. Over the three year cycle the gospel tells of the betrothal of Mary to Joseph, the Annunciation and the Visitation. The stories prepare us for the Birth of our Lord at Christmas.

Prayer

God has brought gladness and light to the world through the Virgin Mary’s delivery of her son.

Grant the prayer of all mothers to be as they ask for the birth of a healthy child. May they safely deliver a son or daughter to be numbered among your family, to serve you in all things, and to gain eternal life.
