COULD YOU HELP? In shaping Catholic Education across our Diocese? St Thomas Catholic Academies Trust (STCAT), which is responsible for most of our Catholic schools in the southern half of the Diocese, is currently looking for a Chair and new Directors to join its Board. These are voluntary roles, and you don’t need a background in education – just time and willingness to support our schools; professional experience from all disciplines is also welcome.

POPE’S PRAYER INTENTION: For the month of November Pope Leo invites us to pray that our wealth may be used not for selfish gain, but in the service of the common good and those who have less. May we grow in a spirit of stewardship, ensuring that what we have becomes a means of supporting our neighbours and building a more compassionate society.
