Good to be with many of our diocesan deacons as we gathered in Holy Trinity Church, Newark, to celebrate & reflect upon the ministry of the Permanent Diaconate in our changing times. I thank them, their wives & families for their wonderful generosity. #diaconate#ministry

Pope Francis has once again appealed to Catholic priests to keep their homilies short, this time warning that homilies should be no longer than eight minutes or “people will fall asleep.” https://t.co/ciPpND5IMG
Great to be invited to say Mass at Holy TrinitySchool, Newark, & to bless the new chapel, altar & lectern as well as 2 Prayer Gardens! A lovely occasion just before half-term.
La flamme olympique a traversé le Sanctuaire de #Lourdes aujourd'hui, jour de la Pentecôte.
Une date symbolique pour les pèlerins qui célèbrent également la venue de l’Esprit Saint sur terre et sur les Apôtres, posant ainsi la pierre angulaire de notre Église. #paris2024

The old lady handed her bank card to the teller and said “I would like to withdraw £10”. The teller told her “For withdrawals less than £100, please use the ATM.
The old lady wanted to know why... The teller returned her bank card and irritably told her “These are the rules, please leave if there is no further matter. There is a line of customers behind you”.
The old lady remained silent for a few seconds handed her card back to the teller and said “Please help me withdraw all the money I have.” The teller was astonished when she checked the account balance.
She nodded her head, leaned down, and respectfully told her “You have £300,000 in your account but the bank doesn’t have that much cash currently. Could you make an appointment and come back again tomorrow?
The old lady then asked how much she could withdraw immediately. The teller told her any amount up to £3000. “Well please let me have £3000 now.” The teller kindly handed me £3000 very friendly and with a smile too.
The old lady put £10 in her purse and asked the teller to deposit £2990 back into her account.
The moral of this story is....
Don’t be difficult with old people, they spent a lifetime learning the skill. 😉
A very joyful celebration of the Sacrament of Confirmation with 32 young people in Holy Trinity parish, Newark, thanks to the good work of the catechists with support from the congregation, clergy, choir and altar servers. My ongoing prayer for the newly Confirmed. #HolySpirit
@HTAClassUKS2W Good luck everyone and well done for taking on the challenge! The wheels are critical - Martian soil and rocks can be tricky to navigate!
A lovely celebratory Mass to mark the 30th anniversary of the opening & blessing of St Anthony’s Church, Calverton. There was a great group of Altar Servers and a warm welcome. Thank you!
So proud of our school community this week, ending with a retreat day focussing on The Common Good, Promoting Peace and Subsidiarity, beautiful work and incredible singing. Our Liturgical Prayer theme was ‘Resilience’ a very fitting school virtue #HTACatholicLife@OLOLCatholicMAT
