The Year of Faith holds out a wonderful opportunity for us to give more generously to others.
Announcing our new exciting Fundraising Event for 2013 in aid of International Prison Outreach.
In this Year of Faith declared by Pope Benedict we are encouraged to grow and mature in our faith, however the church recognizes that there are obstacles to faith and these include scandal and bad witness (Catechism of the Catholic Church 29). The child abuse tragedy which has engulfed the Church has been a cause of great pain, suffering and scandal which has undermined and challenged the faith of many.
Melinda Gates, wife of Microsoft founder Bill, wants her enormous wealth to benefit the poorest of the poor in the developing world. Her giving, she tells Joanna Moorhead, has its roots in her Catholic upbringing, and in the Church’s social teaching.
Those words were first belted out more than 40 years ago in the best-known passion play of modern times – Jesus Christ Superstar.

Back in 1968, a Catholic couple opened a small bakery next door to their house to feed their growing family.

Our campaign to free Linda Carty, the British Grandmother on Death Row in Texas continues. It is said that no news is good news and in Linda’s case this is certainly the case.
The Year of Faith begins next month and Bible Alive will carry a wide range of features and articles on living our faith today. The righteous truly live by faith but, as St James taught in his letter, faith without works is dead (James 2:14-28).
Hundreds of years ago, the Poor Man from Assisi, St Francis, courageously opened up a dialogue with our Muslim brothers and sisters. The conversation he began continues to this day and perhaps never before has there existed such a great need for believers, Christians, Muslims and Jews, to engage in a fruitful and mutually beneficial discussion rooted in their love and reverence for God and one another. Sr Janet Fearns explains.
