Today is the Memorial of Saint Ignatius of Antioch.

St Ignatius followed St Peter as bishop of Antioch and was thrown to wild beasts in Rome (possibly at the Colosseum) during the persecution of Trajan. He wrote 7 epistles, which give a clear picture of Christian belief and practice a century or so after Christ’s birth.

Last Sunday in Rome, Pope Francis Canonised Cardinal John Henry Newman. Therefore he is now a Saint no longer a Blessed. For us a Parish and indeed many others this is wonderful news! Now the Canonisation has taken place we have some changes to make within the Parish. Our noticeboards need updating and also our social media pages need their names changing. You can now find our updated Facebook and Twitter pages here:
