CoR’ s new headquarters outside Euston station
A message from the General Secretary:
We have closed the office but are available on email for all queries:
So much has happened within the past month. We have settled into our new offices where we hope that, in due course, many of you will visit. Many thanks to the Poor Servants of the Mother of God, who have warmly welcomed us into St Philomena’s and whose sisters have worked so hard to ensure everything went smoothly. Thanks also to all those who helped us move and sent cards, flowers and good wishes.
We had scarcely unpacked and had been working hard on the events planned for March: three Laudato Si’ days of reflection, a digital conference and the celebration, with Cardinal Michael Fitzgerald, of the new chapter in CoR’s life, when we were overtaken by events. Like people around the country we have had to cancel our remaining events in March and will keep other things planned for later in the year under close review. While this is disappointing, what we are facing is minor when we consider the impact of Covid 19 on others. It is of course difficult not to worry about what might happen to family, friends, colleagues and our communities. Padre Pio’s saying: ‘Pray, hope, and don't worry. Worry is useless. God is merciful and will hear your prayer’ seems especially apposite.
I hope you and everyone in your communities stays well and that you find new and creative ways to exercise your ministries during this period.
Valerie Nazareth
