A site put together by our friend and an excellent resource with prayers, devotions, reflections and stories for people of all ages and professions - from the young to the old, believers to non-believers and parents to teachers.

People who visited our shop over the years were very taken with the large selection of Prayer Trust bookmarks and booklets that we stocked and, although we shall eventually be making these available through our internet shop, you may like to now contact the Prayer Trust's own website and buy from them direct.

The Prayer Trust began in the Millennium year 2000 under the leadership of Father Pat Sayles, a Columban missionary. From the beginning, Fr Pat has been supported by a committed team of volunteers, who help to organise and send out thousands of orders each year. The Prayer Trust has published nearly 150 titles and printed over seven million booklets and bookmarks.

The Sunday readings can be found on various Bible translation sites and you may already use a preferred site and translation.  We used to link our newsletter readings direct to the relevant reading on Bible Gateway. If this is still helpful follow the link below and copy the reading reference into the search bar.

Root and Branch is community working for a safe, just and inclusive Roman Catholic Church.  It began in January 2020, before the pandemic, in response to journalist Joanna Moorhead’s challenge in The Tablet that the Catholic Church needed ‘a synod that starts with women’ rather than tagging them on the end or ignoring them altogether. Very soon, as the name suggests, the community became aware that they needed to look at all areas of the Catholic Church in need of reform and, although it started with women, Root & Branch is not a single-issue movement: it offers FREE information and resources that embrace and challenge all areas in need of reform and healing.

Catholic Women Speak was founded by Professor Tina Beattie in January 2014, as a forum for Catholic women to explore ideas together, to discuss issues relating to the dignity and equality of women in the Church and society, and to raise awareness of the activities, opportunities, and struggles of women in the worldwide church. Their aim is not to align themselves with any single issue, but to create a space in which women can speak and be heard wherever they belong on the broad spectrum of Catholic faith and practice. They began as a small private Facebook group.
