It was with great joy we heard the Holy Father, at the end of his Wednesday audience this last week, announce that the canonisations of Bl. Carlo Acutis and Bl. Pier Giorgio Frassati will take place during the Holy Year next year. Acutis will be canonised during the Jubilee for Teenagers in April, and Frassati during the Jubilee of Youth at the end of July. Our Diocese is organising a youth pilgrimage for the last week in July. These are two new saints in the making! Let us pray that these two new saints will inspire and pray for our young that their faith may be vibrant and on fire.
Welcome to e-News this week, the last week of the Church’s Liturgical Year before we enter the great season of Advent. Let us pray this Advent for peace throughout the world in these troubled times. Let us also pray this week for the defeat of the bill on assisted suicide: the vote takes place in the House of Commons on Friday.
