The Civic Service for the Mayor of Southampton, Councillor Carol Cunio took place at Carol's 'parish church' on the 24th June 2010. The Mayor was accompanied by the Mayoress (Ruth Cunio) and the Sherriff of Southampton. The Service was attended by some Councillors, friends and parishioners and was an opportunity to thank God for the City, its peoples and the Parish. Attached is the homily (sermon) by Monsignor Vincent Harvey.
I and my brother bishops from England and Wales spent the last week of January and the first week of February in Rome. We were there for our Ad Limina visit, an occasion when every five years we present a report to the Holy See on what has been recently happening in our dioceses. The meetings with the various Congregations and Councils of the Holy See were important, but the highlight has to be the time spent collectively and individually with Pope Benedict.
