Bishop Seamus invites us to join in with: “Diocesan Prayer “Forward Together in Hope”
Glory be to the Father—in whom we live and move and have our being. Glory be to the Son—whose name we bear and who calls each of us to be his disciples; to build his Kingdom and to go out into the world and bear its fruit. Glory be to the Holy Spirit—pouring out grace and guidance, forming us and renewing us. Inspire us all in the Diocese of Hexham and Newcastle to live the Gospel, be open to change and move forward together in hope. Amen.
