Heart Speaks to Heart - Week 1
February 20, 2026
A Six-Week Study Programme Led by Archbishop Mark
In January, Archbishop Mark shared a pastoral letter with our Archdiocese. Titled Heart Speaks to Heart – drawing on the motto of St John Henry Newman – it sets out a vision for our diocese to grow as a missionary and synodal Church, rooted in prayer and built on four pillars:
- Youth and Vocations
- Evangelising Zeal
- Formation in Faith
- Loving Service of Those in Need
Now, Archbishop Mark has taken that letter and broken it into six study pieces, to be explored over six weeks. Each piece includes the Archbishop’s own words alongside reflection questions designed to prompt honest, open conversation.
To find out more, download a
pdf which includes the transcript and reflective questions, and to end a response to Archbishop Mark, visit the RCADC Website
