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.

Members of the U.C.M are holding a Coffee Morning in the main hall on Tuesday 7th July between 10.00 am and 12 noon. Format will be as normal, and all proceeds will go to parish funds! Please join us for a couple of hours for coffee and relaxation!
We warmly congratulate the twenty children from our parish who recently received their First Holy Communion. It was a joyful and grace-filled occasion for them, their families, and our whole community. Since Christmas, a total of sixty children have now taken this important step in their journey of faith, and we give thanks for each one of them. Looking ahead, the next preparation programme will begin shortly after Christmas, early in the new year. It will be open to children who will be in Years 3 to 6 in the academic year 2026/27. Further details and application forms will be made available after the Summer holidays. In the meantime, we are very happy to receive early expressions of interest from families who wish their children to take part.
