Divine Mercy Chaplet
The only chaplet we have that
was dictated by Jesus Himself;
he gave it to his secretary of
Divine Mercy, St. Faustina. The
Lord made it clear that the
Chaplet was not just for her, but
for the whole world. Prayed on
ordinary rosary beads, we can
pray this chaplet at any time and
we can also make a novena of
prayer for any intentions. We
must not change or add any
other wording. Follow this link to the “Divine Mercy
Chaplet”

New Archbishop of Cardiff
'A ceremony of Installation of Bishop
Mark O’Toole as the new Catholic
Archbishop of Cardiff took place today
(Monday, June 20) at St David’s
Cathedral, Cardiff. Appointed by Pope
Francis, Archbishop Mark O’Toole had been Bishop of
Plymouth since 2013. Succeeding Archbishop George
Stack, who has been in post in Cardiff since 2011, today’s
installation coincides with the feast day of the Welsh
martyrs Saints Julius and Aaron. As well as assuming
oversight of the Catholic communities in the Archdiocese
of Cardiff, Archbishop O’Toole also becomes the new
Bishop of Menevia, a diocese which includes Swansea and
its surrounding areas. A second ceremony takes place on
Thursday (June 23) at Swansea’s Cathedral Church of St
Joseph to celebrate this. The two dioceses combined
incorporate much of South and Mid Wales, alongside
Herefordshire. Having spent the last eight years as
Bishop in the Diocese of Plymouth, ministering in the
counties of Cornwall, Devon and Dorset, Archbishop
O’Toole looks forward to immersing himself within the
communities of both dioceses. Read More….

Bishop: Asylum seekers’ dignity must be
protected and upheld
The UK’s plans to forcibly deport
to Rwanda some of those seeking
refuge in our country is shamefully
illustrative of what Pope Francis
has called the ‘loss of that sense
of responsibility for our brothers and sisters on which every
civil society is based’.
The plan is presented as a humanitarian response to
combat people trafficking and smuggling yet the result will
compound the suffering of those who are already victims.
Crime is defeated by confronting the perpetrators not by
punishing victims. This scheme will increase the difficulties
of those hoping for a new beginning, and it does nothing to
address the problems which cause people to flee their
homes. Read more….
