📍 The Most Holy Trinity Parish Room, New Street, HR8 2EE
🗓 Thursday 28 May
🕚 11.00am–1.00pm
Why not pop in for a coffee and a friendly conversation? The Safeguarding Team would be very happy to see you.

New Castle Emlyn, Our Lady Queen of Peace Church Hall, Castle Street, SA38 9AF
May is traditionally a Marian month , a special time to grow in faith through prayer with Mary.
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.

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
