Bishop Nicholas Hudson, Auxiliary Bishop of Westminster, (former Rector of the Venerable English College, Rome), was appointed delegate at the Synod last October. He gave the final lecture on synodality on Wednesday 13 March 2024.

The amendment will help understand and address the experience of the over 17,500 children estimated to be separated from their mothers in prison, as well as those without other primary caregivers.
Parishioners who are already involved in projects supporting Catholic Social Action and those who would like to be, can choose to focus on environment and Laudato Si’, refugees and migrants, or the homeless and cost of living at this worthwhile event.
