Fr Rory Writes:
This week we have important messages from two Bishop’s. The first one being the Pastoral Message (copies can be found in the church porch, for you to take away and read).
Secondly, the Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD), 27th January 2020. This year’s HMD has a particular significance for two reasons. One is the fact that this year we mark the 75th Anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. The other is, of course, the increase in the incidents of antisemitism. The reasons Vatican II gives for condemning antisemitism are specifically theological (CF Nostra Aetate, 4) and feel that is our particular contribution to the whole issue.
