Pope Francis has blessed a painting of Our Lady of Walsingham, from a shrine dedicated to Mary, the Mother of God, in Norfolk. The painting, by Amanda de Pulford, will return to Walsingham for the rededication of England as Mary’s Dowry on 29 March 2020.
This service celebrated the presentation of Bishops' and Deans' awards to singers from Brentwood Catholic and Chelmsford Church of England Dioceses, which are coterminous.
To mark his 50th birthday later this year, Fr Dominic Howarth is cycling 5,000 kilometres on a static bike to raise money for local charities. Please sponsor him if you can.
