New Pilgrimage Director

In succession to Father David Long, Bishop Mark has appointed Canon Christopher Matthews as the new Director of the Diocesan Pilgrimage. We give thanks for Father David's leadership of the pilgrimage over the last years.

Canon Christopher took up his appointment on 10 November and is no stranger to the Diocesan pilgrimage having travelled with us for almost thirty years. Although surprised and honoured at his appointment, Canon Christopher very much looks forward to working with all the various elements of the Diocesan pilgrimage.

We ask the intercession of Our Lady of Lourdes and Saint Bernadette for our diocesan pilgrimage family.
