Welcome
...to the 66th edition of Pathways

In this edition you will find information on a range of resources that you can enjoy from the comfort of your armchair and more on the Year of Faith. You are also invited to sign up to our social media feeds for notice on events and resources as they come out.


Year of Faith
Holy Hour on Corpus Christi

Together with Catholics across the globe, the clergy and faithful in the Diocese of Westminster are invited to participate in Eucharistic Adoration at 4pm (BST) on Sunday 2 June. A booklet has been prepared with three possible Holy Hours - click on the link below for more.

Pope Francis has just announced two prayer intentions for this hour. The first is for the 'Church throughout the world united today in Adoration of the Most Holy Eucharist,' that the Lord makes her ever obedient to his word so that she appears before the world as 'beautiful, without spot or wrinkle, holy and without blemish.'

The second intention is dedicated to people around the world who are suffering from violence, drug or human trafficking, economic insecurity, and those who have been pushed to the margins of society.
