Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Since my move to
Alnwick I have received a
wonderfully warm welcome
from you all.
I look forward to getting
to know more of you in the coming New Year.
I am sure the Lord will continue to bless our
communities just as we have been
blessed and sustained us in the last difficult
months due to the pandemic.
I have been so touched by
everyone's thoughtfulness, kindness and practical help.
I feel at home here already! When the
Government Restrictions are lifted
I look forward to
working with you on new and renewed pastoral initiatives.
May God Bless you and your families.
Father Stephen.
