Congratulations to our Catechumens (seeking full membership in the Church through Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist), who were part of the 338 accepted as Elect by Archbishop Fisher OP in St Mary’s Cathedral last Sunday. Our Candidates (already baptised, seeking Confirmation and Eucharist) were part of 119 others desiring the same. Please pray for our Elect, Candidates and Team during their Lenten preparation.

Fr Paul received the following message from Archbishop Anthony Fisher OP last week: It was with great joy and privilege to celebrate the Rite of Election last Sunday. Gathering at the Cathedral for this important moment in the journey of faith is always deeply moving, and I was particularly struck and heartened this year by the number of catechumens and candidates presented from All Saints Parish.

Such fruits are born of faithful witness and a community that truly lives its mission. Please convey my sincere gratitude to all who have been involved in preparing our soon-to-be Catholics.
