The 2025 season at #StChads was a Thursday afternoon monthly oasis. Where you could find music that was enchanting, majestic and joyful. And ultimately uplifting, imagine what 2026 has in store for us!

Reflection for the feast of St Birinus. When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=...

The SVP believes no child should grow up in poverty.
The Government’s Child Poverty Strategy is a welcome start, particularly the ending of the 2-child benefit cap.
Now delivery & impact are vital. Every child deserves dignity, security & the chance to flourish. #childpoverty

In today’s gospel, Jesus tells his story to emphasise how important it is not just to listen to his word, but also to act on it.
Today's Advent reflection ponders what it is we're being called to do and how we can stand up for what's right. More. ⤵️
