Today our finalists have begun a week of learning about death and bereavement with a visit to a local crematorium and a funeral director. It can be a challenging week but one that’s important for their future ministry and pastoral care.

A beautiful winter morning as we headed to Lower Church for Mattins, to thank God for his blessings, to pray for the world, and to ask him to be with us throughout the day ahead.

Please pray for all those who provide administrative support across the Diocese; often the first point of contact for enquiries from the wider community and huge support to the ministry leadership team.

Rest eternal grant unto him, o Lord, and let light perpetual shine upon him.

Prayer service for #TransgenderDayOfRemembrance. Remembering the dead, and praying for a world where all can flourish.

Happy St Edmund’s Day, and a shout out to our current and former students from the diocese of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich, though sadly Eds and Ips don’t seem to be on here. ✝️⚓️

Prayers in the weekly tutor group meetings are an opportunity for students to share ways they pray. Here an ordinand teaches the Lord’s Prayer in Signalong, a language she learned while volunteering with L’Arche.

We’re counting down to our next open day on Sunday December 7th! If you’re at any stage in the discernment process, we’d love to welcome you and help you get to know what formation at the College of the Resurrection is all about! college.mirfield.org.uk/open-day-reg...

Some very interesting and inspiring reflections on the cinema from Pope Leo.

I was at Manchester Cathedral today for a round table discussion on poverty - part of this year’s events marking 40 years since the Church’s landmark Faith in the City report. Its call to action remains as urgent as ever — to build a bold vision and a clear plan to end poverty.

We’re very much looking forward to having them join us on site.

Homemade doughnuts! #CakeWatch

Do you have plans for Holy Week? Would you like to have plans for Holy Week? Come and join us! Grants available for ordinands, students, and those in need.

Prayers for the new Archbishop of Wales!

We often send students on placement to the Crypt (and have again this year). It does wonderful work and we give thanks for them!

On Thursday afternoons instead of evening prayer with the Brethren of CR, there is a student led service, which can take any form they choose. Tonight we had a beautiful time of prayer after the customs of Taizé.

Happy feast of Simon and Jude! This is the college’s Foundation Day, so a special occasion for us. We like to think that the most obscure of the apostles are perfect patrons for a college that’s always focussed on producing priests who serve parish and people.

Almost 150 years on, the Revd Edward Cragg Haynes, a Barbados-born man, is commemorated by his former parish. Holly-Anna Petersen reports #BlackHistoryMonth
