The bishop has written to all parishes regarding the pope’s recent letter to the People of God concerning crimes of abuse. A day of penance and reparation is being organized at St Wilfrid’s York on Friday 14th September with Exposition 8am-4pm interspersed with devotions and 12.10pm Mass. It is offered as an opportunity to show solidarity with the victims of these crimes and to implore forgiveness of the Lord by prayer, fasting and genuine conversion of life.
