Welcome to e-News

Bishop Philip writes…

This week is another momentous one for us all, as the conclave to elect the next pope begins tomorrow, Wednesday 7th May. Let us pray this week to the Holy Spirit for the whole Church and that the Spirit will guide the cardinals in their discernment and deliberations. These days I will be at Buckfast Abbey for the meeting of the Bishops’ Conference: please pray too for the Church in England and Wales this week and for your bishops.
