Cardinal Cormac Murphy O’Connor dies peacefully this afternoon.  the Archbishop of Westminster writes

“I am writing to let you know the sad news that Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O’Connor died peacefully this afternoon, surrounded by his family and friends.

Please pray for the repose of his soul. Pray, too, for his family, and those many friends and colleagues from the Diocese and far beyond who mourn his loss.

Information about the funeral rites for the Cardinal will be circulated as soon as possible.

With my good wishes and prayers,

Here is a reflection on death, given by the late Cardinal himself, on Chris Evans’s Radio Show.

The weather is good and the boats are sailing – so our trip to Caldey is going ahead. See you at the quay side of Tenby Harbour at 9:30 for the 10:00am boat.

The Bishops of England and Wales have issued the following letter regarding the forthcoming General Election.

Please note that the Mass due to be celebrated in the Parish on Friday 28th April at 10:00am has been canceled owing to Fr Liam needing to be in another parish to celebrate a funeral. Many thanks for your understanding in this matter and, if you’re a weekday Mass attender, please pass this message on to others. Thank you.
