SOUTHWARK DIOCESAN PILGRIMAGE TO LOURDES

7/3/2026

I warmly invite you to join me on this year’s SOUTHWARK DIOCESAN PILGRIMAGE TO LOURDES: 21 to 28 August 2026. A pilgrimage is a great opportunity to refresh and renew our relationship with the Lord Jesus, with the help of Our Lady’s prayers. I have also found it a blessing to be able to accompany and to be inspired by other pilgrims, some of whom are sick, elderly or disabled. Last year, Deacon John Fogarty and I did a short presentation in parishes, which we would be happy to repeat in your parish, if it can be arranged. Details for booking travel and accommodation can be found here.

We also ask pilgrims to complete a form with details, including medical requirements (if any) here. For more information, please contact Canon Edward Perera or Deacon John Fogarty or myself, Bishop Paul Hendricks.

Thank you so much for your generous donations and prayers for our global family. We are still raising monies for this incredible work. By giving today we are enabling our global neighbours to grow food in gardens that float on flood water and we are providing solar powered irrigation systems.

RCIA – WHAT ARE SCRUTINIES?

28/2/2026

The Scrutinies are a series of rites for adults who wish to be baptised. They are celebrated in the third, fourth, and fifth weeks of the Lenten season. This is considered a period of purification and enlightenment for the elect. There are prayers of exorcism which are intended to help purify the elect from sin and sinful desires. The overall prayers and laying on of hands are to help the elect be enlightened by the Word and grace of God. Please pray for all those who are to be received into the Church and receive the Sacraments this Easter.
The 1st Scrutiny takes place next week at the 5.30pm Vigil Mass.
