Heart Speaks to Heart - Week 4
March 16, 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.

On the third anniversary of the war in Sudan, Kayode Akintola, CAFOD’s Head of Region for Africa, asks for your help: “So many of our sisters and brothers in Sudan are facing increasing violence, hunger, and disease. That is why today, I’m asking you to consider setting up a regular gift to support families who are fleeing the violence – with food, safe water and other vital support. Monthly gifts are an act of steady love for our neighbours, a way of saying: we will not abandon you, we will stand with you until peace is restored.” Donate at cafod.org.uk/StandWithSudan
