Fr. Ryan Browne and myself share the same birthday! We celebrated it together in style last week: here is a picture of Fr. Ryan cutting into a special birthday cake at the baptism of Barnabas Farrell. Thank you to everyone in the Cathedral parish and across the Diocese who kindly remembered the occasion and sent best wishes, gifts and prayers.
Meanwhile, I welcome you to this edition of e-News for Tuesday 18th November 2025. There are some important statements to note from the Bishops’ Conference last week, as well as a newly produced documentary on Pope Leo and his origins in Chicago that’s well worth watching. Have a blessed week ahead. May God bless you, your family and friends.
In Corde Iesu

Bishop of Portsmouth
