Our Diocesan Anniversary - New:

As we approach the 175th anniversary of
our foundation (29th September) we pray
that all the Baptised will share a vision
for the future that is hopeful and joyful.

Bishop David invites you to join him and the Priests,
Deacons and Religious of the Diocese at the Cathedral
for the annual Chrism Mass on Wednesday, 16th April
at 12noon. Followed by refreshments in the Centre.
Please pray for all our Deacons, Priests and Religious.

Changes in Corby

At the Pastoral Area meeting (on Tuesday, 18th March)
Bishop David announced that Fr Christopher has been
asked to take on new responsibilities in the Diocese as
part of his on-going role as one of the Episcopal Vicars.
To fulfil this Fr Christopher will now be appointed to a
smaller parish in the Diocese. Consequently, Fr Mark
has been asked by the Bishop to become the Parish
Priest of all three Corby parishes and an additional
Priest will assist him in the sacramental and pastoral
work of our community. The timescale for this is not
finalised but it is anticipated that Fr Christopher will
move during the summer. In addition, Fr Wayne will
also be leaving Corby. This is an exciting time for the
Catholic community in Corby with new opportunities
and initiatives on the horizon. A listening process has
begun so that everyone can be involved in shaping the
Catholic mission of parishes in this part of the Diocese.

Prayer and Congratulations to…
