A Warm Welcome And Every Blessing To Our New Bishop-elect Philip Moger!
We are delighted to share the good news that Pope Francis has appointed Bishop Philip Moger as the new Bishop of our Diocese.
‘His Holiness Pope Francis has appointed Bishop Philip Moger as the new Bishop of Plymouth. A priest of the Diocese of Leeds for over 40 years, Bishop Moger has, until now, served as an Auxiliary Bishop for the Archdiocese of Southwark.’
Our Diocesan Administrator Canon Paul Cummins has said: “We welcome Bishop-elect Philip to the Diocese of Plymouth as our new shepherd. The faith community of the southwest has been well-served by its predecessors, and we are confident that our Bishop-elect will continue their legacy.
“Bishop-elect Philip, you have our full support as you prepare to join us here. We pray that all the saints of the Diocese of Plymouth walk with you each step of the way. Know that a warm welcome and our prayers await you as you take up your new role among God’s people. We look forward to your arrival.”

We hope everyone is well and the cold snap isn’t too difficult.
To brighten your day, we are proud to share a wonderful video produced by Beach Guardian that celebrates Step into Wellness – a project that is focused on improving mental, physical, and emotional health for anyone over the age of 18.
We welcomed over 40 volunteers to Constantine Bay, and enjoyed a fun-packed couple of hours with Beach Guardian – who taught us so much about caring for our beaches and how our own health and wellbeing is connected to our environment & eco-systems. 🌏😍
Check out the video below and feel free to join us on our next adventure, and take part in co-hosted beach cleans in Sept!

We’re BACCKKK!
While we felt it wasn’t right to run a full school this year we did feel led by the Spirit to continue to provide excellent teaching and spaces to gather and equip worshippers across the SouthWest!
We are SO excited that on the 28th of September we’ll be running the first out of a series of teaching days throughout the coming academic year delving deeper into big topics surrounding worship with a chance to connect with local teams and worshippers as well as sharing a pasty together!
On the 28th of September our very own Josiah Gillespie will be sharing on the Theology of Worship and boy is it a good one!
There will be a time of worship to start the day followed by 2 x 45min teaching sessions by Josiah.
There will be opportunities for discussion, reflection, prayer and networking. Lunch will be provided at 1pm. This event is open to anyone who wants to learn more about this topic.
We’d love to see you there!

Churches across the diocese are invited to join in with prayer for the Grenfell community, using a text specially written by the Rt Revd Hugh Nelson, Bishop of St Germans.
The seventh anniversary of the fire is on June 17, 2024 and churches are asked to remember the 72 people who died in their prayers.
Holy God,
We pray for people and communities hurt and harmed by the Grenfell fire; Grant them your presence and peace.
We pray for people and communities carrying the consequences of injustice and inequality; Grant them your justice and judgement.
We pray for people and communities fighting for change and a better future; Grant them your healing and hope.
Holy God, holy and strong, be with the people and communities of Grenfell.
Amen

🙏💚If you’re the praying kind…
All this week, across our Duchy, this special prayer is being said: from Truro Cathedral to the Isles of Scilly. And even by a Cornish curate in the Diocese of Leeds. Could you use it too?
Thank you Bishop Hugh for writing such a beautiful prayer for us all to use in solidarity and love as June 14 approaches – 7 years since Grenfell Tower Fire claimed 72 lives including 18 children.
