Last Monday’s concert at St Godric’s was a great success. Music and stories. Our thanks to Paul Martin and Team for giving their time and talents, and raising over £450 for the Durham Food Bank. Memories of that unique occasion when, as parish and School, we celebrated Mass at Finchale Abbey, came flooding back.
Events coming soon are the Anniversary Mass at the St. Mary’s Cathedral to celebrate 10 years of Laudato Si, and the annual procession of the Blessed Sacrament at Ushaw College. (Times and dates in bulletin). A prayer commemorating Laudato Si is in this bulletin also.
“Rainforest destruction, primarily through deforestation, is a serious issue with far reaching consequences. In the last 50 years, roughly one-third of tropical rainforests have been lost, with an estimated 6 million hectares deforested annually. The primary drivers include logging, agriculture, cattle ranching, mining, and infrastructure development. These activities not only result in habitat loss for countless species but also contribute to climate change, impacting ecosystems and global temperatures. “
