A message from Kenelm Youth Trust: 

We are working on a few fun initiatives for the following week including some input for the virtual Lourdes pilgrimage on the Wednesday. The diocese will release the programme for this but the Youth Mass will be live streamed from Alton and we will be participating in the concert in the evening with Jo Boyce and Dan Callow.

The following video was created by the team here based on a prayer written by Fr Tim. We hope you love it as much as we do. I would be so grateful if you could share it far and wide!

At this time of the year, we would be building up to receive the Sacrament of Holy Communion with all our children in Y3! Dan @danonelifemusic has produced a song especially for them💕🙏💕 https://youtu.be/56EyV0R8mBk

We made the most of the sunshine and painted recycled milk cartons to create bird feeders for Forest school. Then we painted some rocks and hid them for everyone to find when they return to school. Finally we practised our throwing, catching, bowling and batting skills in a game of cricket (the perfect sport for social distancing!).

Archbishop Bernard reads his Pastoral Letter for the fourth Sunday of Easter, Good Shepherd Sunday. 

Dear Friends, I pray and hope that you and your loved ones are all keeping safe in these trying times. It's a long time since we met, and I don't know when we'll be able to meet again, but please be assured of my continued thoughts and prayers for you all. You are all remembered everyday at Mass, and are missed by me more than you realise.
