SHOW THE LOVE 2024

Westminster Justice and Peace are members of The Climate Coalition, which since 2015, has used the power of green hearts on Valentine’s Day to send a message to those in power that we want to see a safer, greener future for generations to come.

Watch some of the highlights from eight years of Show The Love

On Monday 12th February, everyone is invited to join the Southern Dioceses Environment Network on Zoom for deeper reflection on the theme of ‘Show The Love’ in our parishes and Catholic communities as we also make our preparations for Lent. If you would like to join us, make or bring a green heart to the meeting and wear something green!

THE SYNOD JOURNEY CONTINUES…

Cardinal Vincent Nichols and Bishop Nicholas Hudson have written to all the priests of the Diocese with an invitation to arrange two parish meetings before the next Deans meeting on 6th March to reflect on two themes of the Synod: Co-responsibility and Formation.

The time is short but materials are available to help and will be published on the Diocesan website shortly here https://rcdow.org.uk/synod/ .

The Cardinal writes: “It will be a moment for us to pause and consider how we are, in fact, keeping this mission before our eyes and in doing so striving to act in a participative manner.”

PREPARING FOR LENT

2024 is to be a Year of Prayer, leading up to the next Jubilee Holy Year in 2025. We are invited to delve deeply into the Lord’s Prayer at this time, reflecting on it deeply, line by line.

A Diocesan booklet ‘We Dare to Say’ is available with 5 Lenten sessions for small groups and the Westminster Deaf Service is encouraging us to learn to pray the Our Father in sign language. Please give it a go!
