World Mission Sunday
World Mission Sunday, celebrated on 19 October this year, provides a special opportunity to express love and solidarity with our global brothers and sisters. This day is designated for the Catholic Church worldwide to publicly reaffirm its commitment to the missionary movement.

Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Salva me bona crux! Save me, good cross! According to tradition, this is the dying prayer of St Andrew. He said these words as he prepared to give his life for his faith in Jesus.

Hope Does Not Disappoint – Finding Meaning in Suffering
For as long as history has been written, the world has never been without struggle and suffering. Through the lens of television and social media, however, the suffering of the whole world appears on our personal devices. Many of us find it hard to make sense of a world in which suffering seems to press down from every direction: pandemic; war; homelessness; violence in our streets, addiction. Then, often without warning, we find ourselves caught up in the struggle when serious illness comes into our own lives.
