Letter from Bishop Philip
Dear Parishioners of St Edmund Campion,
I am sure you will agree when I say this last year has continued to be challenging. Yet although many aspects of our lives have been impacted, our Catholic faith has remained the one constant. I am encouraged by those returning to Mass, the large numbers who have joined livestream liturgies, parishioners supporting neighbours, friends and loved ones. I also wish to thank wholeheartedly those clergy who have worked so tirelessly to sustain and support the communities under their care. It is this steadfast commitment that has progressed the Church across the Diocese of Portsmouth since the late 19th century.
As a faith community, we have been through some challenging times in the past yet by God’s grace, we have always shown resilience, compassion and generosity. Fifteen years ago, the Living Our Faith campaign had a tremendous and wide-reaching effect, and I am grateful for all it enabled. I am confident now with the intercession of St Edmund Campion and our patron, St. Edmund of Abingdon, that we have the strength to continue our great mission of ‘Bringing people closer to Jesus Christ through His Church’.

FOODSHARE
We are a collection point for Foodshare. Our collection area is just inside the porch doors, but if you leave food outside, out of hours (in a bag or other covering) the building is regularly checked. Foodshare are currently really in need of tinned vegetables and tinned meat, amongst all the regular donations.
"Thank you for your support of Foodshare this year. We are currently helping between 380 and 400 people every week who would otherwise go hungry. We expect this to rise to about 600 at Christmas which is a particularly challenging time for those who struggle to make ends meet. We would appreciate it if you were able to bring a food donation next weekend. This will enable us to distribute before Christmas. Thank you."

I am Liam Cummins and I come from Ireland. I'm the eldest of four children (three boys and one girl).
As a Mill Hill Missionary (millhillmissionaries.com), I have spent a good period of my adult life ministering in Africa, namely Cameroon and Kenya.
I was appointed to England to do Mission Animation (Missio and Mill Hill) for a number of Dioceses in 2012. I really enjoyed this work and it involved a good amount of travelling and meeting lots of people. Read more.
