SENT TO FAITH:
On 17 April 2026 three Franciscan Friars, Fathers Casey Cole, Tito Serrano and Jason Damon from Charlotte in the USA will be visiting the Diocese to help us to think about how we can spread the Gospel today. They have recently started a mission to reach young adults, spiritual seekers, and those disconnected from the Church through authentic presence, conversation, and compassion. Rooted in the spirit of St. Francis, SEARCH is about walking with others, sharing Christ’s love, and inviting hearts to renewal and healing.
They are hosting two events. The first at the Cathedral specifically aimed at young people and young adults at 1:15 following the midday Mass and the second aimed at a wider audience at St Francis of Assisi beginning with Mass at 6:00 pm.
