A message from Bishop John |
|
|
|
Welcome to the revised website of the Diocese of Hallam, launched only a few weeks after the historic visit of Pope Benedict XVI to the United Kingdom.
The website gives a snapshot of our diocese. It is full of information concerning parish and religious communities, diocesan services, organisations, schools and events. This website, however, is more than just information. It reminds us of the resources we have for the mission of the Church in the world around us. Our mission is to be the Body of Christ in the world. We seek to be a prayerful community of love, whose presence serves and proclaims the Good News.
Whether you are a frequent visitor to our site or have come across it for the first time, thank you for visiting us. We trust you will find all the information presented here to be of interest to you.
May God bless us all
+John |
