I rejoiced when they said to me,"Let us go the house of the LORD".
Psalm 122

On 4th July our churches will open again for the celebration of Mass.
This is a wonderful moment we have all waited for, when we can partake again in the Mass, which lies at the centre of our faith.

In this short video Cardinal Nichols speaks to us about resuming public liturgies.

Let us reflect on the beautiful words of this hymn at this special time:

'All are welcome in this place'

The Wednesday Word Gospel leaflets are a Weekly Gift - encouraging families to draw together around the Word of God and explore Jesus' teaching together.
