A new year begins.

Our schools reopen, our parishes restart catechetical programmes, search for new volunteers and, in some cases, welcome new priests.

The work of Justice and Peace goes on in and out of season as does the Church’s mission in the world but a new year is also an opportunity to pause, reflect, discern priorities, and, strengthened hopefully by holidays, we take up our work again with a new enthusiasm.

One event which aims to draw together as many as possible involved in the work of Justice and Peace in our diocese is our inaugural lecture at Farm Street Church on November 1st by Baroness Scotland, the Commonwealth Secretary General. Baroness Scotland has a huge experience and an enormous heart for putting Catholic Teaching into action. We really hope you can make it.
