Foreword

FOREWORD I am pleased to present the Diocesan Directory for 2025. As I read through the pages, I am reminded of how much is happening across our diocese through our parishes, schools, organisations, groups and diocesan departments.

2024 has shown that our desire to become a missionary diocese is taking shape. I write this introduction in November and last weekend I had the pleasure of attending the mission conference hosted by Mission Northampton.

I would like to share two things that struck me from this conference. The first is that we are heading towards 2033, the anniversary of the death and resurrection of Our Lord. Agenda 2033 is an evangelistic vision that aims to ensure that every human being in the world has heard the Gospel by this significant year. So if this is our vision, we need a plan and plans require intentionality, energetic application, resources and commitment.

What can this look like in our own diocese? I was excited by the second thing I took from the conference, the witness of so many projects and initiatives across our diocese which aim to reach the unreached. Many of these projects were simple even small but with profound effect. It was a joy to listen to the experience of both the people organising the projects and those who had been reached as a result. My prayer is that every parish and school will look for the simple and effective ways of reaching those who are not currently engaged in our communities.

The launch of two projects by Caritas Northampton are also welcome: the furniture bank and Parade House. These two initiatives, which I encourage you to read more about, are making a real difference to the communities they serve and again my prayer is that more of our communities can work with Caritas to set up projects that serve our wider communities in a meaningful way.

It is always a relief and delight when our parish communities can be served by a priest and this year we have welcomed new clergy into our diocese both as missionary priests and, in some cases, incardinated as diocesan priests. I am grateful for the work of Fr Pius Amoako and the vocations team in promoting the call to priesthood which will be vital in the years to come.

Having listened to many people as I travel across our diocese for pastoral visitations, confirmations and other gatherings, I recognise that you are aware of our need to develop structures to meet the changing needs of our diocese. I have said from the moment I arrived in this diocese that I prefer a plan to develop through listening, collectively to the Holy Spirit and not a top‐down approach. I would like to encourage all pastoral areas to build prayerful communities who actively listen to the gentle direction of the Spirit as we move forward.

Finally, let us look forward to 2025. This year is a Jubilee Year with the theme of ‘Pilgrims of Hope’. My prayer for us that we will be pilgrims, together on the journey and that we know the hope that Christ’s victory places in our hearts. 2025 is also the 175th anniversary of our diocese. It is an opportunity for us to reflect on where we have been, to those holy men and women whose shoulders we stand upon and look to the future, open to the Holy Spirit as we plan to leave those who follow us a vibrant, secure and faith filled diocese which is willing and able to share His love with the whole world.

REVIEW OF THE YEAR - 2024 2024 has been a year of prayer in preparation for the Jubilee Year in 2025. The theme of the Jubilee Year is Pilgrims of Hope and this theme has permeated all aspects of our mission in the last twelve months.

The year began with a Pilgrims of Hope tour.

Bishop David visited each of the pastoral areas to pray, listen and share with the local community including priests, deacons, religious and laity. These evenings were a blessing to all who attended with moments of deep prayer followed by good humoured conversation and sometimes challenging words. The focus of these evenings was the synodal themes of communion, A parishioner asks a question at the pilgrim of hope tour participation and mission.

Our cultural diversity as a diocese shows the breadth of our Church and this year we continued to celebrate the riches of this diversity through the celebration of the Eucharist and fellowship in pastoral areas. The celebrations were joyful occasions and the sharing of faith and food from across the world was well received.

In lent many parish groups made use of the ‘we dare to say’ resource prepared by the Catholic Bishops Conference of England and Wales for the year of prayer.

Throughout the year our synodal process continued with a particular focus in the pastoral area of Aylesbury. The process began by gathering Assembly delegates, Pastoral Area Council members, school reps and other local voices on 27th January at St Claire’s, Aylesbury. From here synodal conversations began guided by a small working party from the local area.

Throughout April and May a period of discernment took place and the results of this discernment were presented to Bishop David at an open meeting in the summer. This discernment highlighted particular priority areas for the pastoral area including mission, finance, property and communications. Small working groups were set up to explore these areas further and a plan has been presented from the local area to Bishop David.

Caritas Northampton, the social action arm of our diocese continued to pursue projects this year to make a difference in the local communities. In December 2024 the Love Christmas campaign took off again with many parishes and schools supporting those in need at Christmas. Two major projects took shape in 2024, the first a furniture store which provides furniture to those in need. People who are unable to furnish their homes due to financial constraints are said to live in furniture poverty. The furniture store aims to support these

people by repurposing furniture which has been donated by those who no longer have a use for it. In this way they can help to alleviate the emotional, physical and phycological side effects created by furniture poverty. The second is Parade House. Parade House is a multipurpose space in Northampton town which aims to work with charities and organisations across the area to support those in need, especially young people. Although this project is in the infancy of its existence, the Caritas Parade House ­ Bishop David Oakley, Deacon benefits to the local community Jim Hannigan, director of Caritas Northampton and have been encouraging.

Andrew Clutterbuck, trustee As we continue to grow as a missionary diocese, people from across our diocese made their way to Harrogate in June for the Divine Renovation Catholic Parish Summit.

This summit gave practical examples to parishes to support them to reach out to those who are not regular Mass attendees and fulfil our missionary call in small ways. The work of Mission Northampton throughout the Mission Northampton

Diocese

diocese continues to develop an understanding of evangelisation in our parishes and schools.

The desire to reach out beyond our boundaries is evident in our local communities and Mission Northampton are providing the resources to build confidence.

We are looking ahead to 2033, 2000 years since the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

As a diocese we are joining the global, ecumenical initiative Agenda 33. The aim of this project that every human being on the planet will have heard the Gospel by 2033. What can this look like in our own diocese? Mission Northampton will make themselves available in 2025 to bring this vision to fruition.

In June, we celebrated the annual Feast of the Translation of the relics of Saint Thomas Becket. The festival incorporated a Mass, ecumenical walking pilgrimage around the sites pertaining to Becket in Northampton, a social event and the Becket lecture. This year the lecture focussed on the life of another of our holy people, the Venerable Ignatius Spencer by Fr Gerrard Skinner. Throughout the festival an art exhibition took A pilgrim views the artwork at the gallery during the place in the St Thomas Centre Becket Festival in July containing art by local artist focussed on Thomas Becket and our faith. The exhibition was well received. The festival is a reminder that Thomas Becket is the patron for our entire diocese, not just the town of Northampton!

A key component of our preparation for the Jubilee Year has been building a culture of pilgrimage. This sense of journeying together, through our synodal listening to the Holy Spirit, travelling to Walsingham as we did as a diocese in June or further afield like Lourdes or Lisieux as we did in August and October respectively. We are looking forward to our Jubilee pilgrimage to Rome Pilgrimage to Walsingham in June and Assisi in March 2025 as we join thousands of other dioceses and groups making this same pilgrimage at different times throughout the year.

Family is the heart of our diocese and Bishop David joined our marriage and family life team in September to celebrate marriage and family at our Cathedral. Many couples received certificates as they celebrated significant anniversaries.

In September forty members of our diocese travelled to Oscott college for the National Eucharistic Congress, Adoremus. A member from the clergy plus four laity represented each of our pastoral areas. Following a time of A group of parishioners from across the diocese at prayer and input all those present the National Eucharistic Congress, Adoremus at celebrated Mass before a Eucharistic Oscott College procession around the grounds of the seminary. It is hoped that each pastoral area will offer a time of 40 hours of Adoration through the five representatives that attended this national day.

Safeguarding continues to be of the highest priority for our diocese. As we continue to build a culture of safeguarding through all members of our parishes and hierarchy we also continue to seek ways of reaching out to and walking with those who have suffered abuse of any nature within our church. Our healing garden at Northampton Cathedral offers an oasis of peace which can be invaluable to those who have suffered and those who are simply seeking quiet and peace in their daily life. This year the addition of a bench and a statue of St Francis of Assisi have been possible through the generosity of donors and supporters.

We look forward to 2025, the Jubilee Year, our diocesan 175th anniversary and the launch of our missionary outreach agenda towards 2033.

THE DIOCESE – A BRIEF HISTORY Diocese

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 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, the Archbishop of Canterbury, Saint Theodore of Tarsus 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. One of the first bishops of the diocese of Leicester and major contributor to the Synod of Whitby (664), St Wilfrid must have preached in the northern parts of the diocese, as he eventually died in Oundle in 709, while he was visiting the monks at the monastery, he had founded there (Cf. Bede the Venerable, The Ecclesiastical History of the English People, book V, 19-20).

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 1623 to 1850 was governed by Apostolic Vicars, who reported to the Cardinal Prefect of the Roman Congregation of Propaganda Fidei. On 23rd March 1623, with the Apostolic Letter Ecclesia Romana, Pope Gregory XV established the Apostolic Vicariate of England with the appointment of Fr William Bishop as its first Vicar Apostolic. Bishop received his episcopal consecration in Paris on 4th June 1623 and landed at Dover on 31st July 1623. In just over eight months, as he died the following April, Bishop organised the ‘Old Chapter’, a noncanonical chapter formed by twenty-four members with Fr John Colleton as dean. This Chapter would cease to exist with the advent of the re-instauration of the hierarchy in 1850.

After Bishop’s death the Chapter sent a list of candidates for his succession to the Vatican.

The first name on that list was chosen, it was that of Fr Richard Smith, a Lincolnshire convert who studied first at the English College in Rome under St Robert Bellarmine, and then in Valladolid, Spain. He was appointed Apostolic Vicar on 29th November 1624 and was consecrated Titular Bishop of Chalcedon, in January 1625. He arrived in England in April 1625, and shortly lived in Turvey, Bedfordshire, at the house of Lord Montagu. Smith was very unpopular with the recusant gentry especially for the restrictions he had forced upon the ministry of regular clergy in England, to the point that the Pope Urban VIII had to remind him that he was appointed as Bishop of Chalcedon not as Bishop of England.

In August 1631, while Smith lived in London two warrants were issued for his arrest. The warrants and the troubles caused among the Catholics in England led him to leave for France and tender his resignations, which were quickly accepted.

The Old Chapter w lead the Catholics in England for the next 54 years, when the next Vicar Apostolic would be appointed by the Holy See in 1685.

With the beginning of the reign of King James II, Catholics lived a more favourable time in England and Pope Innocent XI profited at once by the circumstance. Fr John Leyburn, a former president of the English College in Douai, was chosen as the new Vicar Apostolic. On 6th August 1685, the Propaganda Fide elected Leyburn Vicar Apostolic of all England, and the pope gave his approval the same day. He was consecrated in Rome on 9 th September, with the title of Bishop of Adramyttium. In October he arrived in London, and lodged in St. James's Palace, as per request of King James II. Leyburn was also given a pension of £1,000 a year by the king.

On 30th January 1688, by the letter apostolic Super Cathedram, Pope Innocent XI divided England into four apostolic vicariates called districts: the London, the Midland, the Northern, and the Western. Leyburn was named Vicar Apostolic of the London District, the senior position. So the number of bishops in England went from one to four.

The land of the modern Northampton diocese was within the Midland District which consisted of the historic counties of Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Cambridgeshire, Derbyshire, Huntingdonshire, Leicestershire, Lincolnshire, Norfolk, Northamptonshire, Nottinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Rutland, Shropshire, Staffordshire, Suffolk, Warwickshire, and Worcestershire.

The Apostolic Vicars of the Midland District were: Bonaventure Giffard (1688-1702), George Witham (1702-1716), John Talbot Stonor (1716-1756), John Joseph Hornyold (1756-1778), Thomas Joseph Talbot (1778-1795), Charles Berington (1795-1798), Gregory Stapleton (1800-1802), John Milner (1803-1826), Thomas Walsh (1826-1840).

On 3rd July 1840, Gregory XVI, in his apostolic letter Muneris Apostolici, considering the increase of the Catholic population in England doubled the number of districts and the Midland district was split into two: the Central district and the Eastern district. Bishop William Wearing in 1840, was appointed as Vicar Apostolic of the newly established Eastern District, which covered the nine counties of Lincolnshire, Rutland, Huntingdonshire, Northamptonshire, Cambridgeshire, Norfolk, Suffolk, Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire.

He selected Northampton as the seat of the Vicar Apostolic On 29 September 1850 with the papal bull, Universalis Ecclesiae, issued by Pope Pius IX, the English Hierarchy was restored, and the diocese of Northampton came into being. The other newly created dioceses were: the metropolitan archdiocese of Westminster, the diocese of Southwark, the diocese of Hexham, the diocese of Beverley, the diocese of Liverpool, the diocese of Salford, the dioceses of Menevia and Newport, the diocese of Shrewsbury, the diocese of Clifton, the diocese of Plymouth, the diocese of Nottingham and the diocese of Birmingham.

On 13 March 1976, by the decree Quod Ecumenicum, Pope Paul VI 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.

It is today a distinguishing mark of the Church’s life, indeed of the whole tenor of contemporary religious thought and action. “ Sacrosanctum Concilium n.43 In our diocese the Commission is advisory to the bishop as the first liturgist of the diocese, supportive of diocesan liturgies and offers formation for all involved in liturgy in our parishes.

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.

WHAT IS CASPAR? Diocese

CASPAR is your way to stay in touch with your parish, to find out what is going on, to share your skills, and enable you to be connected to your parish and the wider Diocesan family.

What does it do?

It allows parishes to contact you, it lets you sign up to the parish newsletter, and the newsletters of other Churches you may attend. It reduces parishes’ administration and workload. Most importantly, the aim is to ensure there is more time for those in the parish to minister to parishioners and less time taken doing admin.

What will CASPAR do in the future?

CASPAR is constantly being developed to give you the information you need, and to allow you to register for the facilities you require.

Is my information safe?

Yes. It is not only safe, but you are in control of it. If you want to delete your information, or unsubscribe from newsletters, you can log in and do that yourself.

What if I don’t use the Internet?

Don’t worry, you can still contact the parish and ask them to add you to CASPAR, and this will ensure, if you need help, we know how to contact you.

How do I get involved?

In the Parish section there are QR codes next to each parish. You can scan the QR code for your parish, with your phone, and sign up to CASPAR. If you prefer to sign up on a computer go to www.northamptondiocese.org/Caspar-sign-up and choose your parish.

Most importantly – we want to include you, stay in touch and respond to your needs

SPUC Branch – Northampton: katherinehampton@spuc.org.uk The Source Community They are a small Celtic lay community – Catholic with an ecumenical heart based in the two parishes of High Wycombe in Buckinghamshire in the diocese of Northampton with a call to work for the unity of the Body of Christ. They have been officially around since 23rd May 1996 when they first signed a Community Covenant, although they had been acting as a community for a while before then. They are intentionally small but with a calling to prayer and to help other communities and groups to grow. The call to be a Celtic community was made official on All Saints Day (1st of November) 2015 as a result of a sign from God about the re-release of the Celtic anointing once poured out to evangelise these islands. The Community meets fortnightly on Weds evenings in small sharing groups called Faith and Friendship Groups and gathers everyone together once a month for an open session of worship and adoration. This year 2024 they started a project of community gardening in some local allotments called First Fruits as an outreach ministry and to feed themselves and the local homeless.

Prayer Cycle Included in the Ordo is the national Cycle of Prayer from the Bishops Conference, and also a Diocesan Cycle which seeks to help us to fulfil the wish of Bishop David that we pray for each other regularly.

Each parish is listed on its Patronal Solemnity and also on the anniversary of its dedication/blessing, and we are asked to pray for those parishes, clergy and people on that day.

Specific ministries and actions of the Diocese have a day on which prayer is asked for them.

Ordo

The Diocesan Cycle of Prayer is incorporated into the Ordo, and it is hoped that this will encourage its use and help to build up the diocese in prayer.

Also included for the Holy Year are the particular Jubilee Days for various vocations and professions. There may be errors and omissions, and the Liturgy Commission would be happy to be told.
