We are in a season that’s rich in saints. Be inspired by them by taking our new Autumn Saints quiz on the GodCalls app: www.godcalls.co.uk.

This free app will help you go deep with God through prayer, reflecting on the Gospel of the Day and by learning about the saints in weekly, snappy mini-biographies of their lives.

The Day of Prayer for Vocations (also known as Vocations Sunday) will be celebrated this coming Sunday 3rd May.  You are very welcome to download our resources to help promote this day, which, due to the current climate, are designed for online use.

Please click here to view this year’s resources, which include images to post on social media, a Vocations Sunday prayer and some personal vocation stories.

A new website has been created to help young people connect with the mysteries of Holy Week during this time, put together by youth workers, chaplains and teachers from Arundel and Brighton diocese.

A new website is available offering online resources to help people live through the coronavirus pandemic. These come from those with experience of social distancing or isolation, people who have lived this reality either intentionally like monks and nuns or against their will like hostages or the housebound. This is a new and difficult journey for most people, but experienced guides give us hope along the way.

Please visit www.alonetogether.org.uk to access these resources.

Pope Francis’s message for Vocations Sunday is now available to read.  Vocations Sunday this year will be celebrated on 3rd May, which is the day the universal church asks the Lord to help people hear God’s call in their lives.

During this challenging time when many of us are having to self-isolate, we can use this period – which is also Lent – to tune in to God’s word.  ‘Reading Matthew in Lent’ is a series of podcasts for the Lenten season produced by the Catholic Bishops’ Conference, offering a daily reading from St Matthew’s Gospel up until Easter Monday (these will be uploaded on weekdays from Monday to Friday).  The readings are also downloadable as text if you prefer to read them.

Please visit www.cbcew.org.uk/series/reading-matthew-in-lent/ for the podcasts and readings.
