Dear Fathers, Dear Deacons

I am pleased to forward the attached letter I have received from John Adam Fox, the Chair of Trustee of the Fellowship and Aid to the Christians of the East (FACE), together with a poster and further information regarding the International Day of Prayer for Eastern Christians which will take place on Sunday 17 May 2020

Around  20 million Eastern Christians will be praying for Western Christians on Sunday; and conversely a similar number of Catholics from Poland, Belgium, Monaco, France, Spain, Switzerland and Italy will be praying for Eastern Christians at the same.

More information is available here

I would be grateful if you could arrange to share this with your parishioners via your newsletter and parish website, please.

With my prayers and every kind wish.

Yours devotedly in Christ

Bernard Longley

Archbishop of Birmingham
