Foreword

FOREWORD As I write these words, those involved in the Synod on Synodality are meeting in Rome. To my mind, the key to understanding the Synod are those three words which always accompany this Synod ‐ communion, participation and mission. It has been a great joy for me to witness these during my travels around our diocese. My pastoral episcopal visitations have so far taken me to the parishes of the Slough, Luton, Bedfordshire and South Bucks Pastoral Areas. There are four more Pastoral Areas yet to visit. In the words of my visitation homily, ‘I come amongst you as a humble pilgrim, hoping to see the face of Christ in this community of faith’.

That hope has not been disappointed. It has been encouraging to witness the many signs of parish life with liturgical celebrations, catechetical and social needs action, opportunities for the parish community to come together and build a communion of relationships through social functions. Of course, every parish is different. Each parish community has a different historical story to tell. The challenges they face are similar to other parishes, and at the same time, unique to particular communities. I drive away from every parish visitation with the wistful thought, I wouldn’t mind being their parish priest!

Amongst our diocesan activity in 2023, we welcomed the visit of His Excellency, Archbishop Miguel Maury Buendía, the Apostolic Nuncio to Great Britain. During his visitation, His Excellency visited the Luton Pastoral Area and witnessed some of the inter‐religious life of this multi‐cultural part of our diocese. He celebrated the principal Mass of our first St Thomas Becket Festival and blessed the St Thomas Centre during the delayed official opening of the Centre after the pandemic. The relics of St Thomas Becket have been in our Cathedral since the middle of the nineteenth century. They were received from Monsignor George Talbot, secretary to Pope Pius IX, who in turn had received them in 1852 from Bishop Mariano Venturi, Bishop of the Diocese of Veroli. Many people visited the Cathedral throughout the weekend of the Festival to venerate the relics and seek the intercession of our martyred patron. The Festival also included an ecumenical walk around Northampton sites associated with St Thomas Becket and the inaugural Becket Festival Lecture delivered

by Dr Judith Champ.

Our diocesan Assembly, Pilgrims of Hope, was held at Thornton College last July. This brought together the five principal themes of the initial listening of the diocesan consultation process as we seek to continue the journey into gracious listening to the Holy Spirit and each other, and the prophetic gracious speaking which characterises authentic synodality. Our Assembly also looked forward, as its title suggested, to the forthcoming Jubilee Year in 2025. It was such a grace to be part of the Assembly with over three hundred people gathered from across the Diocese of Northampton. It was an uplifting day and Thornton were generous with their hospitality. As we move forwards, a new Episcopal

Vicariate of Pastoral Development has been established and we are working towards the foundation of a new Diocesan Pastoral Council.

I want to thank Tony McNiff for the three years he looked after our diocesan finances and charitable activities as our first Chief Operating Officer, and in very difficult circumstances during and immediately after the pandemic. We are not out of the woods yet! Oliver Larkin has taken up the baton as the new COO. Whenever I come before the Lord in prayerful reflection on how things are going across the diocesan communities and with our curial functions, the title of our Assembly comes to mind. We journey forwards as pilgrims of hope, and we have much to be grateful for. My sincere gratitude to you all, to the clergy who graciously bear so many burdens, to all our religious and lay faithful who are so generous in their support and commitment to communion, participation and mission. May our faith, hope and love deepen in the days ahead.

REVIEW OF THE YEAR - 2023 Diocese

It has been a busy year for our diocese as we have endeavoured to be missionary disciples walking our synodal pathway together.

Our diocese, like all Catholic Dioceses across the world began the year with the news that Pope Emeritus Benedict had died. Many in our diocese will remember his visit to England and those in the south of our diocese had travelled to London to pray with him in Hyde Park, whilst those in the north had been in Cofton Park as he beatified John Henry Newman (now Saint John Henry Newman).

The Catholic Safeguarding Standards Agency visited our diocese in January to lead training for our clergy following an invitation by our diocesan safeguarding team. Four training dates were offered for this insightful day focussed on the eight standards of safeguarding.

At the start of February our young people gathered together in Northampton for the annual residential retreat weekend, LUX. The next ‘LUX’ weekend is planned for 9‐11 February 2024.

Later in February, Bishop David travelled to Woburn Sands to celebrate Mass for the Religious who minister across the diocese.

Our diocesan trustees took the decision at the end of 2022 to divest from Fossil Fuel, with the announcement being made in March 2023. On 19 March Bishop David celebrated his third anniversary of his Episcopal Ordination. He was ordained Bishop of Northampton just a few days before the first lockdown in 2020. In the same week our Education Service hosted a Head Teachers’ Conference at the St Thomas Centre and our youth joined with thousands of other young Catholics at Wembley O2 Arena for Flame, a national celebration of Catholic youth. Also during March, our diocesan CDSC, the Charismatic Diocesan Service of

Communion was launched. The CDSC aim to share the grace of baptism in the Holy Spirit within the church, to build unity with other Christians, to promote concern for the poor and to support and to promote and encourage all expressions of Catholic Charismatic Renewal.

Over 400 young confirmandi attended the annual Confirmation Conference ‐ Blaze, organised

by NYMO, our youth ministry office. This annual gathering is open to all those teenagers preparing to receive the Sacrament. It is a joyful celebration offering our youth an experience of a wider Church beyond their own parish.

Diocese St Teresa’s in Beaconsfield was the setting for an important event for our diocese in May 2023.

LoudFence is a visible display of our support and solidarity with those who have experienced abuse in our Church. Bishop David presided at the opening service before those present were invited to tie ribbons, messages and prayers to the trees outside the Church. Advocate for the rights of those affected by abuse, Antonia Sobocki began LoudFence in November 2020.

Since then many Christian Cathedrals and Churches have hosted the event including in September 2023, the Vatican.

For the last two years Caritas Northampton have partnered with some of our parishes, schools and staff to take part in Love Christmas Campaigns by providing gifts to be included in Bags of Kindness for people living in poverty and/or loneliness in that parish or school local area.

In this time they have been able to donate 1450+ gift bags supporting over 3300+ individuals including families with young children, the elderly, the lonely and isolated, young carers, children from broken homes, children in care, young people leaving the care system, and many others.

Some of our priests celebrated significant anniversaries of ordination in 2023. Fr William Strain celebrated 60 years of priesthood. Fr William retired from St Augustine’s, High Wycombe in 2014 having been in the parish since 1978. Other significant anniversaries included Fr Joe Walsh, Fr Kenneth Bowen and Fr Jose Thekkekutte (40 years), Fr Andrew Behrens , Fr Gerard Byrne, Fr Brian Leatherland and Fr Mirek Misiura (35 years), Fr David Barrett, Fr Dariusz Bialowas, Canon Francis Higgins and Canon Brendan Killeen (all 30 years). Congratulations to all of them. This year’s Jubilarians Mass will be at our Cathedral on 7 June 2024.

We lost two retired priests this year as we said goodbye to Fr Paul Hardy and Monsignor Peter Wilson. Fr Paul had recently retired having been a parish priest in Milton Keynes for almost 30 years. He also served as editor to the Diocesan newspaper ‘The Vine’ since it began in 1988. Another priest who contributed greatly to diocesan life, Mgr Peter Wilson died on Ash Wednesday, 22nd February 2023. Monsignor Wilson fulfilled a number of roles within the Diocesan Curia and he served variously as Administrator, Secretary and Treasurer of the St Francis Children’s Society; and as Chairman and Secretary of the Sick and Retired Clergy Fund.

In 2001 he was appointed a Chaplain to Pope John Paul II with the accompanying title Monsignor, although he still liked people to call him Father Peter.

Eternal rest grant unto them O Lord, and may perpetual light shine on them. May they rest in peace.

Diocese The pilgrimage to Walsingham in 2023 was well attended by over 400 pilgrims. The day began with Mass at the Catholic Shrine before pilgrims walked the Holy Mile with the statue of Our Lady of Walsingham. The pilgrimage ended with prayers at the original site of the Holy House within the Abbey Grounds. This year’s pilgrimage will take place on 8 June.

July was a busy month with several significant Diocesan events taking place. At the start of June we celebrated the Translation of the Relics of Saint Thomas Becket. The Feast of Thomas of Canterbury takes place on the 29th December and as this proves difficult for our Diocesan family to come together we celebrate the Feast of the Translation of the Relics. This beautiful weekend of celebration was a time for pilgrims to journey to the Cathedral to venerate the Relics and connect with the martyr.

11

That same weekend and to coincide with the ‘Becket Festival’, we formally Blessed and opened the St Thomas Centre. Many people from across the diocese have given generously to help build the centre and they were invited to be present at the Blessing. The Apostolic Nuncio, Archbishop Miguel Maury Buendía blessed and opened the Centre as he was on his pastoral visitation to the diocese.

The visitation by the Papal Nuncio to Great Britain was eagerly anticipated by many people throughout the Diocese. Arriving on Thursday evening, the Archbishop spent time in prayer with the Cathedral Chapter and Bishop’s Council followed by a welcoming meal. On the Feast of the Translation of the Relics of Thomas Becket the Archbishop celebrated Mass and Blessed the centre before heading down the M1 to Luton. Whilst in Luton, the Archbishop met with refugees being supported by Christian Churches in the town, visited a Mosque and met with the ecumenical Churches and Faith groups.

As part of our synodal journey, our diocesan assembly took place at Thornton College where over 300 people from across our diocese gathered for a day of prayer, conversation and listening. The assembly was the high point of a journey which began in October 2021, when Pope Francis announced the engagement of the people of God in the Synod on Synodality which takes place over 2023‐2024.

In the summer month of August, our young people travelled to Alton Castle for the LifeTeen Summer Camp whilst some of our older parishioners travelled to Lourdes on pilgrimage with the Catholic Association.

2023 saw growth in our outreach activity in many parishes through evangelisation and social action projects. In autumn, Caritas Northampton shared the news of a successful grant application to support dementia projects whilst those parishes supporting food banks

Diocese reported an ever‐growing number of people receiving support. Our parishes responded to the post‐covid need to tackle isolation in the elderly with many areas offering lunch clubs, days out, bingo nights and anything that will draw communities together.

In November, the first Mass celebrating our culturally diverse diocese took place in Luton.

'Celebrating our Richness' was a bright, joyful occasion and it is hoped that every pastoral area will host a similar celebration.

As we look forward to 2024, we are mindful that it is designated a ‘year of prayer’ as we journey towards the Holy Year in 2025 as ‘Pilgrims of Hope’.

The Catholic Faith first came to Britain in Roman times. St Alban, our first martyr, probably suffered in the year A.D. 209. Three bishops from Britain attended the Council at Arles in A.D. 314. In 597 St Augustine came from Rome to convert the pagan Angles, Saxons and Jutes who had invaded and settled in Britain after the departure of the Romans. His work of conversion was concentrated largely in the kingdoms of Kent and Essex. It was not until some thirty-eight years later that the area covered by our present diocese received the Christian message, with the arrival of the missionary St Birinus and the foundation of his see at Dorchester on Thames in 636. But the real evangelization of the people who dwelt in our district, the Middle Angles, was achieved through the labours of missionaries from the isle of Lindisfarne, off the Northumbrian coast. Notable among them was St Chad, whose see, established at Lichfield in 669, included the present diocese of Northampton.

A few years later, to meet local needs, Archbishop Theodore of Canterbury divided the Mercian see of Lichfield and founded the diocese of Leicester for the Middle Angles. There it remained until the ninth century when the disruption of the Scandinavian invasions necessitated its transference to the safer original site at Dorchester on Thames. With a major reorganisation of the diocesan system in the Norman period, the ancient see of Dorchester was brought to an end. In 1072, Remigius, its last bishop, was translated to Lincoln, in which jurisdiction the territory of the present diocese remained for many centuries.

From the time of the Reformation until 1850, Catholic Dioceses ceased to exist in Britain. As a result of heroic sacrifice by clergy and laity alike the Faith remained alive and from 1685 to 1850 was governed by Vicars Apostolic, who reported to the Cardinal Prefect of the Roman Congregation of Propaganda Fidei.

On 29 September 1850 by Letters Apostolic, issued by Pope Pius IX, the English Hierarchy was restored, and the diocese of Northampton came into being.

On 13 March 1976, by the decree Quod Ecumenicum, Pope Paul Vl formed the diocese of East Anglia for the Counties of Cambridge, Norfolk and Suffolk. The territory left to the diocese of Northampton covers Bedfordshire, the old county of Buckinghamshire including the Slough area, and Northamptonshire.

Northampton Charismatic Diocesan Service of Communion (CDSC) “Today, one thing ends, and another begins. A new stage of this journey is beginning. A stage marked by communion between all the members of the charismatic family, in which the mighty presence of the Holy Spirit is manifested for the good of the entire Church.”

These are the words of Pope Francis spoken in June 2019 when he instructed the Dicastery for the Laity, Family and Life to erect CHARIS, the new and only international service with a public juridical personality to serve the entire Catholic Charismatic Renewal (CCR) in the church. This resulted in the creation of Charismatic Diocesan Service of Communions (CDSC) teams in England and Wales. The Northampton CDSC team was commissioned by Bishop David Oakley on 18th March 2023 to serve the church in Northampton. Its main purposes are to share the grace of baptism in the Holy Spirit within the church, to build unity with other Christians to promote concern for the poor and to support and to promote and encourage all expressions of CCR. The team currently consists of 11 lay members, a priest and a seminarian with Yoofi Clarke as the Coordinator, Mick Fagan and Jayne Fagan as Assistant Coordinator and Secretary respectively. The team can be contacted at cdscnorthampton@gmail.com.

Developing synodal structures of listening and discerning across the diocese, particularly through pastoral councils at diocesan, pastoral area and parish level Offering formation, to develop skills of listening and leadership together with opportunities for spiritual encounter, promoting the vocation of all the baptised.
