Prayer and Reflection for Lent 2021: Fratelli Tutti
23rd March at 7.30pm Via Zoom
Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Sutton Deanery Pastoral Council is unable to run a ‘live’, gathered, event this year. Instead, we are pleased to offer an opportunity to reflect on Pope Francis’ latest encyclical, Fratelli Tutti: On Fraternity and Social Friendship.
Pope Francis' third Encyclical Letter takes its inspiration from St Francis’ Admonitions 6 – Of the Imitation of the Lord.
“Let us all, brothers, consider the Good Shepherd who to save His sheep bore the suffering of the Cross.”
You are invited to read the short summary of Fratelli Tutti which is available on the Deanery Activities Page and then join together virtually on Zoom, to share some observations and have some discussion on 23rd March at 8pm. A longer summary can be found by clicking here.
Information on the programme and how to join can be found on the Deanery Activities section of this website.

Please pray for Fr. Paul Sanders Parish Priest of Holy Cross Parish.
It is with great sorrow that we have to announce that Fr Paul died just before midnight on Friday 29th January, after having been admitted to St. Helier Hospital on Thursday 21 January with Covid19. He had the comfort of receiving the Sacrament of the Sick before his passing and is without doubt now with our heavenly Father. Please pray for the repose of his soul and the comfort of his family, his brother clergy and his many friends.
There will be an online streamed Deanery Mass for Fr Paul celebrated by Bishop Paul, Fr Philip and Fr Luke at Holy Cross on Thursday evening at 8pm. The Church remains closed for the time being.

New Commission for Promoting Racial & Cultural Inclusion
Archbishop John Wilson responded to this year's theme: 'A Time to Act', by creating a new diocesan Commission for Promoting Racial and Cultural Inclusion, which will be chaired by Fr Victor Darlington, Parish Priest of Camberwell.
The Commission team also includes Bishop Pat Lynch, Deacon Alfred Banya, Canon Jim Cronin, Sr. Janina Tuszkowska, Christine and Don Burford, Delia Jameson, Esiri Emedo and Councillor Martin Whelton. It was formally inaugurated on Friday 29th January 2021. Looking ahead, it will seek to identify, address and speak out against the evil of racism where it exists, and also explore ways to listen, accompany and support victims of racism, with a view to eliminating this infringement on human dignity.
Speaking of the new Commission and Racial Justice Sunday, Fr Darlington said: The road map of the Commission is to work with parishes, groups, associations and schools to promote racial equality and inclusion in our Archdiocese over the coming months and years. We all have a role to play to put an end to racism, and I call on everyone on this Racial Justice Sunday, to celebrate the beauty of our diversity as an Archdiocese, where everyone is welcomed, appreciated, cherished and loved.
