Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ, it is a great joy to be with you this morning, and to share in your celebration of the Feast of St Bartholomew.
One of the greatest pleasures of being a bishop lies in visiting parishes across one’s Diocese, and getting to know God’s people, in all the rich diversity of who you are, and the circumstances of your lives.
