    Holy Bishop Patrick,
    Faithful shepherd of Christ's royal flock,
    You filled Ireland with the radiance of the Gospel:
    The mighty strength of the Trinity!
    Now that you stand before the Saviour,
    Pray that He may preserve us in faith and love!

    And the lovely Fáed Fíada - The Cry of the Deer or St. Patrick's Lorica.

      'As a Methodist institution, Cliff College is committed to being a safe and hospitable place where those with differing convictions are welcomed and encouraged to live and learn together as faithful disciples of Christ.'

After decades of silence, a long-overdue debate has erupted about the rape gangs in British towns. A backlash has been growing since GB News reported that the Labour government’s Safeguarding Minister, Jess Phillips, had rejected calls from grooming gang survivors in the northern town of Oldham for a public inquiry into the abuse they suffered and the way it was covered up. The interventions of Elon Musk, J.D. Vance, Nigel Farage, and Kemi Badenoch have made it difficult to ignore the depravity of organised grooming gang activity in England.  Click for:  Safeguarding Minister Jess Phillips' letter.

  In 2025 let us: Count our blessings instead of our crosses. Count our gains instead of our losses. Count our joys instead of our woes. Count our friends instead of our foes. Count our smiles instead of our tears. Count our courage instead of our fears. Count our full times instead of our lean. Count our kind deeds instead of our mean. Count our health instead of our wealth. Love our neighbour as much as our self. Be Our Light for the New Year Come, Holy Spirit, Spirit of the Risen Christ, be with us today and always. Be our Light, our Guide, and our Comforter. Be our Strength, our Courage, and our Sanctifier. May this new year be a time of deep spiritual growth for us, A time of welcoming your graces and gifts, A time for forgiving freely and unconditionally, A time for growing in virtue and goodness. Come, Holy Spirit, Be with us today and always.
