This coming Sunday, I am sending a Pastoral Letter to the Diocese, the forty-sixth. It is called “Things Seen and Unseen.” Please make sure you get a copy of it to re-read at home and to reflect on. I also invite you to complete a short, anonymous online questionnaire about our Holy Habits and the diocesan plan; there is a link to the online survey and a QR code if you have a smart phone. It will be an opportunity to contribute to the growth and development of the Diocese and will help me discern how the Lord is at work. Thank you in advance. We hope to repeat the survey in three years’ time to view the journey made.
Meanwhile, welcome to this e-News issue 548 (2026/32) for Tuesday 22nd September 2026. Please say a prayer for our Trustees who will be meeting later this week. May the Lord bless you, your family and friends, with His love over the next days.
With all good wishes and an assurance of my prayers,
In Corde Iesu
+Philip
Bishop of Portsmouth
