For Archbishop Richard Moth: We give thanks for the appointment of Bishop Richard Moth as the next Archbishop of Westminster. We ask the Lord to grant him wisdom, peace, and joy as he prepares to shepherd God’s people in his new diocese.
For Cardinal Vincent Nichols: We offer our gratitude for the ministry of Cardinal Vincent Nichols. We keep him in our prayers for his pastoral care, wisdom, and dedication over many years of faithful service.
For the Diocese of Arundel & Brighton: We pray for our own Diocese during this time of transition. May we continue to build upon the firm foundations established here, and may the Holy Spirit guide us as we await a new shepherd to lead us in the mission of the Gospel.
Prayer for Peace To the Creator of nature and man, of truth and beauty I pray: Hear my voice, for it is the voice of the victims of all wars and violence among individuals and nations; Hear my voice, for it is the voice of all children who suffer and will suffer when people put their faith in weapons and war; Hear my voice when I beg you to instil into the hearts of all human beings the wisdom of peace, the strength of justice and the joy of fellowship; Hear my voice, for I speak for the multitudes in every country and in every period of history who do not want war and are ready to walk the road of peace; Hear my voice and grant insight and strength so that we may always respond to hatred with love, to injustice with total dedication to justice, to need with the sharing of self, to war with peace. O God, hear my voice and grant unto the world your everlasting peace. ( Pope Saint John Paul II)
In May 2009 the Parish of the Nativity of the Lord was officially inaugurated by Bishop Kieran Conry, bringing together in a single united community worshippers from the former Parishes of St Joseph’s in Redhill, Holy Family in Reigate and St Teresa of the Child Jesus in Merstham. Whilst retaining its three Churches, the new Parish is administered as a single Parish under the care of Fr Tony Bridson. Working with Fr Tony are Deacon Tim Murrill and key groups of lay representatives from the three Churches.

Let us ask for the grace of a Lent that leads us to greater attentiveness to God and to the least among us. Let us ask for the strength that comes from the type of fasting that also extends to our use of language, so that hurtful words may diminish and give way to a greater space for the voice of others. Let us strive to make our communities places where the cry of those who suffer finds welcome, and listening opens paths towards liberation.
Pope Leo XIV
