Parish News and Announcements  

From EWTN News


Pope Leo XIV delivers his full address at the Vatican launch of his first encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas: On the Protection of Human Dignity in the Age of Artificial Intelligence. Speaking from the Synod Hall, the pope personally presents this social encyclical in an uncommon gesture, highlighting how AI and the digital revolution carry “even greater consequences” than past technological shifts. In this historic speech, Pope Leo calls for moral guidance on artificial intelligence, urging a renewed focus on justice, human dignity, and a “new humanism” in the digital age. He situates Magnifica Humanitas in continuity with Catholic social teaching, responding to a growing “culture of power” fueled by emerging technologies.



 

A huge thank you to the Durham University Gospel Choir for joining us at Youth group last night. The children had a fantastic time, learning new songs and having the privilege of watching the choir perform for us. We'd love to have them back! They have an Instagram page as well for anyone who would like to follow them @DUGospelChoir

Thank you to all the groups, parishioners and members of our school communities who joined us over the last five Fridays to pray the rosary for our families, world peace and the needs of our parish. 


May Mary mother of the church,  continue to watch over us and draw us closer to her son.
