Today, they work in Brazil, Grenada, South Africa, Cameroon, Nigeria, Republic South Sudan, Zambia, Kenya, Malawi and Zimbabwe.

Young Adults (18-30) The diocese has organised a series of talks on the Divine Praises. The next talk of the series will be on the Eucharist by Bishop Hugh Gilbert. This will take place on Wednesday 27th July at 7pm in St Mirin’s Cathedral and will be followed by Benediction and a BBQ and drinks. Details of all talks can be found on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/DoPYoungAdults. Think Vocation “Ask and it will be given to you; search and you shall find.” We pray with faith for vocations today. Pray too that those discerning a vocation to priesthood, diaconate or religious life will have the courage to persevere.
