Last week, Pope Leo introduced Magnifica Humanitas to the world. While much attention has been focused on the encyclical's analysis of artificial intelligence through the lens of Catholic teaching, the document's opening section offers a beautiful reflection on this teaching as a whole, including a concise definition of the call for Christians to work for social justice.

Where in our world—near or far—is there a greater need for the following of Jesus and remaining faithful to the Gospel? Where is there a need for greater efforts for social justice?

Pope Leo's prayer intention for June 2026

For the values of sports
Let us pray that sports be an instrument of peace, encounter, and dialogue among cultures and nations, and that they promote values such as respect, solidarity, and personal growth.

We mentioned it was a busy day at Lunch Club yesterday....

Well, we can share that part of it was because we had an unannounced inspection by Environmental Health to check that we're doing the right things to keep our lovely guests and volunteers safe, making sure our food handling and kitchen are hygienic and safe for everyone.

It was all a bit stressful, but we're delighted to share that we passed! We'll get a full report with details of things we can improve - sure to be really useful!

Here's a few of the team (Alan, Michael, Pauline, Pam and Judith) who were on duty yesterday being very chuffed 😀
