HELP SHAPE THE FUTURE
OF OUR ARCHDIOCESE
The Archbishop invites you to play a vital role in shaping the future of our Archdiocese.
In today's pastoral letter, he encourages everyone to reflect on the themes
in the Called to Bear Fruit booklet
and participate in small group
discussions over the coming weeks.
Here's how you can get involved:·
-
Form a group: Gather 4–12 people.
-
Choose your schedule: Discuss all six themes across six sessions or combine them into fewer meetings—whatever works best for you.
-
Share your insights: Submit your group's reflections via our online form or as a typed hard copy.
The more people who take part,
the richer our understanding of
the needs of our archdiocese will be.
More information is available on the Archdiocesan website
use the link below
https://www.rcsouthwark.co.uk/news-events/news/southwark-consults-on-archdiocesan-renewal/
Let's work together to shape our future!
Thank you for your involvement.

YOUTH RETREATS
The Archdiocese are delighted to offer
a series of Saturday retreats designed
for young people aged 13-17.
Kicking off the year, NET Ministries Scotland
will lead the first retreats in February
and March, bringing their energy and
expertise to inspire our young people.
Following these, we’ll welcome
the Dominicans, and our own clergy and Mission Team, to guide subsequent retreats.
Our retreats are an opportunity to
develop a knowledge and love of Christ,
and to build friendships through
formation, prayer and fellowship.
Parents can book directly for their child(ren)
via the link below.

JESUS CHRIST, THE ONLY BEGOTTEN SON-WEDNESDAY 26TH FEBRUARY-
8PM IN PARISH HALL
“I believe in one
Lord Jesus Christ.”
With these words of the Creed, we come to the heart of the matter, for all of distinctively Christian faith begins and ends with a particular person: Jesus from Nazareth, the only begotten Son of the God of Israel
“Light from Light, true God from true God.”
This proclamation—no less shocking nearly two thousand years later—draws us
into the depths of the divine life and
into the mystery of the Incarnation.
