@marinafratt Many thanks for the post, Marina. I’m presuming you were @FarmStChurch@JesuitsBritain@RCWestminster yesterday. Please do visit also online to find out more about our community @www.farmstreet.org.uk
You’re always welcome
Members of the choirs and congregations of @GrosvenorChapel and @FarmStChurch have arrived in Rome for a three day ecumenical pilgrimage with concerts and worship as well as ecumenical visits.
If the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) bill is passed, it would be the biggest change that this country has seen for many decades, on the back of less than seven hours debate. In comparison, the fox hunting bill endured hundreds of hours of debate.
I helped to serve lunch to homeless people at the service run by @CentralCLCC from @FarmStChurch in Mayfair. The generosity of nearby hotels & restaurants means around 140 people a week get a good meal. Insightful to talk to people there and a credit to @dtr_sj & volunteers
@nadhimzahawi@MayorofLondon There are huge & growing numbers homeless in Mayfair. We would welcome you to visit our @CentralCLCC restaurant @FarmStChurch to meet our guests. It’s all of our responsibility to help those most in need. Locally we’re so grateful to businesses, hotels & restaurants for support.

2/2 We pray for an end to senseless violence based on falsehood, greed & evil use of power. We pray for those in Russia who are publicly protesting against the reckless invasion. We pray for all who have died & commend them to God's mercy. We pray 4 ceasefire & an end to violence
#PopeFrancis has asked that we mark Ash Wednesday as a Day of Fasting for Peace. I ask that we all heed our Holy Father’s call, and devote ourselves to prayer and fasting on Ash Wednesday, especially for the intention of #PeaceInUkraine
1/3 The call 'Get vaccinated! Get boosted!' is more and more pressing. The need is more urgent, especially in London. I add my voice to many others:
To the voice of #PopeFrancis who says to be vaccinated is 'an act of love'.
Bishop Nicholas Hudson shares a message on the occasion of the death of Archbishop Desmond Tutu on behalf of @CardinalNichols.
May his soul #RestInPeace

'We recall with joy the ministry of Archbishop Tutu, whom we salute for his decades-long witness to justice, racial equality and reconciliation. His death is an occasion to redouble our prayers for the people of South Africa, so many of whom continue to suffer real hardship.'
Our moral obligation is to welcome the stranger. This is not simply about how many #Afghan refugees are allowed to enter this country. The response must be a welcome, and a welcome is not something a government alone can create, it's up to everybody.
My message about our vision for the care of God's creation, and our work in @RCWestminster to contribute to the protection of environment, provided, made, sustained by God, and for which we have responsibility.

It's #RefugeeWeek2021 14-20 June. There are many ways to show our support this week for people who have sought sanctuary in this country. It also an opportunity to recognise and celebrate the many contributions made to UK society by refugees #WeCannotWalkAlone
