Congratulations to Canon Paul Swarbrick who Pope Francis has chosen to the 7th Bishop of Lancaster. I have worked with him for the past seven years. I can honestly say he will be a good and pastoral bishop. Our Diocese, like many others, faces many challenges in the years ahead. Not least being a shortage of priests and the dramatic decline in Mass attendance and people practising the faith.
I ask the prayers of Our Lady of Lourdes and St Cuthbert for him.
