The message from school children across the Archdiocese is loud and clear – we stand together with our persecuted brothers and sisters.

With negotiations happening at #COP30, it's critical that the UK plays a key role in pushing rich countries to unlock new sources of public finance. Especially when 93% of the most vulnerable countries are in a debt crisis. 💸

Our friends at St Mary's College, Oscott have launched a fundraising drive to raise over £150,000 by July 2026 to restore the chapel organ.
The organ is central to the daily worship of the college community during Mass. It is much-loved but in desperate need of restoration. Can you help?
