Confirmation

Please pray for all the children of our parish who have, today, received the Sacrament of Confirmation. It is, of course, a once in a life time experience for them. It was a wonderful celebration and we thank Bishop Kenney for being with us.

Bishop William Kenney to look after Birmingham

Humblepiety is running with the news Bishop William Kenney, currently auxiliary of Birmingham, is our new Diocesan Administrator. Great photo, Father.

This is great news and I'm sure I speak for many in our seminary community who will want to reassure Bishop Kenney of our prayers. We were very blessed to have him lead a retreat some while back based on the psalms. My recollection is of a wonderful and uplifting retreat. I look forward to seeing you up at Oscott sometime soon, my Lord, God willing.

Some very basic background details here.
