Reflection

"Waiting for the Coming of the Lord” - Reflection for the First Sunday of Advent (Year A), Sunday 30 November. “The day is at hand.” (Romans 13:12) by Mgr Daniel McHugh, the Co-ordinator for Ethnic Chaplaincies in the Archdiocese of Birmingham.

In this weekend's Reflection Mgr Daniel draws on his recent experience in Kerala, for the Episcopal Ordination of Monsignor Kuriakose (pictured), parish priest of Our Lady of the Assumption, Coventry. He will continue to live there while being Apostolic Visitor for the Syro-Malankara Church across Europe. 

This is a major development in this Eastern Catholic Church, and relates directly to our Archdiocese. The new Bishop will be known as Mar Ostathios.
