Welcome to the Diocese of Salford
|
The 'Thought for the Day' for the next couple of weeks will focus on the words of Pope Benedict and Cardinal Newman. For the next few days, we have posted some of the works of Pope Benedict. We are getting information in from all over the diocese about people's experiences at Heaton Park. If you would like to add any of your reflections, please email them to Fr John Flynn. We will put them on the new papal blog, which we will update daily. Please keep praying for the success of Pope Benedict's visit among us. |
