Our prayers are with our leadership team as the church adjusts to this new chapter, following the departure of the Hussain family. We also continue to pray for all those affected by the conflict in the Ukraine. TBC are supporting
the charity Childrens’ Ministry Ukraine who do invaluable work, providing us with regular updates of the situation on the ground. We pray for God’s continuing wisdom and provision for the church as we seek to faithfully teach and witness to our community.

Congratulations to the young people who were confirmed in May.
The event took place in Oundle School Chapel and is described here by one of the candidates.
After many weeks of training and preparation starting with Father Pius and completed by Father Benedetto, we finally reached the main event on Saturday 21st May. Oundle School chapel was very welcoming to both their own students and ourselves, the
candidates from the three Parishes.
Along with Cara I was very pleased to be asked
to read the first reading and Cara the Psalm.
It was both nerve wracking and a privilege. Bishop David was overjoyed and expressed slight envy of the School Choir. My time came and I approached with my sponsor and knelt before the Bishop who blessed me and named me Brendan; an Irish sea faring saint and the male form of my Grandmother’s name Brenda. We really enjoyed the day and meeting the Bishop again.
