Prayer to St Joseph
Glorious Patriarch Saint Joseph, whose power makes the impossible possible, come to my aid in these times of anguish and difficulty.
Take under your protection the serious and troubling situations that I commend to you, that they may have a happy outcome.
My beloved father, all my trust is in you. Let it not be said that I invoked you in vain, and since you can do everything with Jesus and Mary, show me that your goodness is as great as your power. Amen.

“I offer myself to God almighty, to blessed Mary, our Mother and to our holy patron, Saint Stephen”.
Migrants and refugees are our brothers and sisters, not just a political problem to be solved, says Bishop Paul McAleenan
In 2023, people making dangerous journeys across the Channel to reach the UK are called by various names: ‘refugees’, ‘asylum seekers’, ‘migrants’, and often by more derogatory terms.
Love the Stranger is a new publication by the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales’ Department for International Affairs that articulates our Christian duty to look beyond such labels and see the person who has left their homeland in search of a better life.
Cardinal Vincent Nichols, President of the Bishops’ Conference, welcomed the publication:
“Love the Stranger draws together more than one hundred years of Catholic teaching to guide our response to migration in England and Wales today. While it does not propose detailed solutions to complex problems, it clearly calls for procedures which permit safe and controlled access and a fair hearing to those seeking asylum. Present arrangements in this country are dramatically lacking in both of these requirements.”
Bishop Paul McAleenan, Lead Bishop for Migrants and Refugees for the Bishops’ Conference, emphasises the need to uphold their innate human dignity:
“Our starting point as a society must be to recognise migrants and refugees as people. We need to understand their stories, their reasons for leaving their homelands and hopes for building a future here.
“We should never view people arriving from elsewhere as a political problem to be solved, but rather as brothers and sisters who we have a responsibility towards, and who greatly enrich our communities.
“People are driven to leave their countries, sometimes making dangerous journeys or risking exploitation, because of conflict, poverty, oppression, or lack of opportunities. Looking beyond our own borders, we have a duty to help people flourish in their homelands, as well as welcoming those who leave in search of a better life.“

The Letter
In 2015 Pope Francis wrote a letter to all people of goodwill throughout the world concerning the environment: Laudato si!

Standing with the People of Ukraine
A prayer for peace sung by parishioner, Trinity MacQueen
With the horror of war now a reality in Europe, the Catholic Church stands in solidarity with the people of Ukraine who are the victims in this terrible and unjust act of aggression from the Russian state.
It is obvious that this war will bring about a major humanitarian catastrophe as people flee the violence and find themselves displaced, putting huge strain on neighbouring countries also. Those who stay to defend their cities and towns or who find themselves trapped there are increasingly short of water, electricity, food and other basic human necessities.
Please pray daily for peace in Ukraine, for God’s blessing upon the aid agencies and organisations that are trying to alleviate people’s suffering in the country and at the borders, and for a conversion of the hearts of the Russian leadership so intent upon wreaking such havoc and destruction.
The Holy Family Chapel in St George’s Church will become a Peace Chapel for the duration of this conflict. You are very welcome to light a candle there and pray for peace when you visit the church.
Prayer of St Francis
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me sow love.
Where there is injury, pardon.
Where there is doubt, faith.
Where there is despair, hope.
Where there is darkness, light.
Where there is sadness, joy.O Divine Master,
grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled,
as to console;
to be understood, as to understand;
to be loved, as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive.
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.Amen.
