Picture
This is a street artists view of the New 'state of the art' St Vincent's Mission Hub at Solly Street. It houses the University Chaplaincy and is also used as a Diocesan outreach Centre for youth evangelisation. It originally was the Victorian boys school which was opened in the 1860's shortly after the Vincentian Order arrived in the city to establish the parish. Mass is once more being said in it's original habitat of Solly Street after a lapse of twenty-four years. Long may it remain that way. The place is utterly transformed. Fr Paddy

A prayer for Afghanistan
Compassionate God,
We hold in your presence the people of Afghanistan.
Be a shelter for those who have been displaced.
Be a comforter for those who are mourning.
Be the peace for those who are afraid,
Be near to those who are hungry.
Be healing for those who are sick.
Be the strength of those working to bring hope.
Open our eyes and hearts, so we may stand in solidarity, and reach out in love to our brothers and sisters. May they know they are not forgotten and that we hold them in our hearts whilst they search for the path to peace?
Amen.
​ PRAYER FOR UKRAINE
Loving God, We pray for the people of Ukraine for all those suffering or afraid, that you will be close to them and protect them. We pray for world leaders, for compassion, strength and wisdom to guide their choices. We pray for the world that in this moment of crisis, we may reach out in solidarity to our brothers and sisters in need. May we walk in your ways so that peace and justice become a reality for the people of Ukraine and for all the world? Amen.
MEMORARE
Remember O most gracious Virgin Mary that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help or sought thy intercession, was left unaided. Inspired with this confidence I fly unto Thee, O Virgin of Virgins my mother.  To thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful.  O mother of the Word incarnate do not reject my petition but graciously hear it and grant it. Amen.  (Saint Bernard)
