Kindu
Our link Diocese of Kindu in DR Congo needs our help at this time. It isn’t too late to add your contribution to the collection we made last Sunday for them.
The news is that the M23 group have left Uvira, mercifully, and that there is no fighting in Kindu. Please continue to pray for protection for our friends and that peace would come to the whole region.

Spiritual Direction
Would you like the opportunity to have some free sessions with a trainee spiritual director?

What is being offered is 5 or 6 monthly sessions lasting about an hour each. To find out more speak to the Rector.
