Diocesan Vision:

What is the Lord Calling Us to Be and Do?

Bishop Stephen has shared a Diocesan Vision (see documents opposite) with priorities for further prayerful reflection along with the following message.  READ ME

Assisted Suicide Bill

The opening vote was held on 29th November and we stand on the brink of a major change in the way we treat human life, particularly the most vulnerable. Mounting evidence from countries that have legalised assisted suicide shows that these laws are incremental, they can have devastating consequences, and the safeguards do not work. Not Dead Yet UK, a network of people opposed to the Bill have produced a postcard with evidence-based reasons to oppose the Bill. If you are opposed to this Bill becoming law, we ask that you contact your local MP Emma Foody at emma.foody.mp@parliament.uk, asking her to oppose the Bill as it makes its progress through Parliament.           

PLEASE DO CONTACT EMMA FOODY AND URGE HER TO OPPOSE THIS BILL!

Jubilee Year

The Jubilee Prayer

Father in heaven, may the faith you have given us in your son, Jesus Christ, our brother, and the flame of charity enkindled in our hearts by the Holy Spirit, reawaken in us the blessed hope for the coming of your Kingdom.

May your grace transform us into tireless cultivators of the seeds of the Gospel. May those seeds transform from within both humanity and the whole cosmos in the sure expectation of a new heaven and a new earth, when, with the powers of Evil vanquished, your glory will shine eternally.

 May the grace of the Jubilee reawaken in us, Pilgrims of Hope, a yearning for the treasures of heaven.

May that same grace spread the joy and peace of our Redeemer throughout the earth.

To you our God, eternally blessed, be glory and praise for ever.

Amen

Jubilee Year 2025

Jubilee Year –  The Holy Father has declared 2025 to be a Jubilee Year with the motto and theme “Pilgrims of  Hope.” There will be two Holy Doors in our Diocese, one at St. Mary’s Cathedral and one at St. Joseph’s Church, Hartlepool. The Bishop is very grateful to Canon Paul Douthwaite for agreeing his welcome to pilgrims at St. Joseph’s. The Holy Father has decreed that the Holy Doors are opened on Sunday 29th December. It is the Bishop’s intention to celebrate both openings that day. The Holy Doors will be closed on 6th January 2026. More information can be found via www.iubilaeum2025.va/en/applicazione.html  and will appear on the Diocesan, CBCEW  and Vatican websites in due course.
