Today we marked the 40th anniversary of the Rite of Election, welcoming around 260 catechumens and candidates (a 30% increase on 2025 and our highest number ever to date) as they gathered to say “yes” to God. 
May this Lenten journey be one of grace, courage and new beginnings.

A wonderfully packed Cathedral for the Rite of Election. This year it was a bonus to have a little time to meet & pray with the parish groups of catechumens & candidates. A wide mix of ages including many young adults. #RiteofElection #HolySpirit

A lovely Jubilee celebration in St Barnabas Cathedral of the commissioning in Mass of 74 new Extraordinary Ministers of Holy Communion for ministry in many parishes of the diocese. May the Lord bless all our EMHCs! With gratitude for their ministry.

Two days, countless insights! Priests 60+ learned about lasting powers of attorney, wills, ethical health decisions, diocesan health services, and graceful retirement. Gratitude to Rebecca Lee, Canon George Woodall, Fr. Frances Cordes & Fr. Paul Chipchase for their guidance.
