Message from Archbishop Mark: A Call to Prayer for Peace

May 1, 2026

We have received the following statement from Archbishop Mark, shared after the recent meeting of the Catholic Bishops of England and Wales in Rome.


In solidarity with the Holy Father, the Bishops invite all people of goodwill to renew their commitment to peace and justice, and they ask Catholics in particular to redouble their prayers for those affected by conflict across the world. Rooted in the hope of Easter, this message reminds us of our shared Christian responsibility to be peacemakers and bridge‑builders.


We are encouraged to read the statement prayerfully and to join with the Bishops and the wider Church in praying for an enduring peace founded on justice, dialogue and fraternity.



The full statement and the Prayer for Peace of Pope St John XXIII are shared below.
