Spiritual Communion
During this time, Catholics are encouraged to make a spiritual communion.  An excellent prayer sheet has been produced by the Catholic Bishops' Conference of England and Wales, including a prayer for spiritual communion.  Click here to view / download.
Last but certainly not least, the Catholic Centre for Formation has produced the following graphic of suitable prayers.  Please download here. 
Social Media
We will be sharing daily readings, Gospel passages and reflections on the Diocesan Facebook page and highlighting various resources, opportunities and news about life in the Diocese on Twitter and
Instagram. You may also like to visit our You Tube page to revisit some homilies from various services throughout the past year.
