CREDO - 2022-10-19 - Allegra Mutanda and the Holy Spirit Allegra Mutanda is a lay woman in full time ministry in the Catholic Church. She is originally from the DR Congo and a native French speaker but has been living in the UK for the past 27 years. Allegra’s faith came alive in 2001 after she attended the Life in the Spirit seminars organised in her diocese at the time. Those seminars had a transformative effect on her personal life and subsequent career path. Allegra has extensive experience both in evangelisation and parish ministry having been involved in evangelisation for the past 18 years. For 12 of those years, she was part of Sion Community whose charism is to share the Good News of Jesus Christ. Her primary work there was in parish renewal and missions and in that time, worked with over a hundred Catholic parishes across the UK. Since 2020, Allegra has been working for the Parish of St Peter and the Winchester Martyrs as their Director of Evangelisation and Leadership where she is helping the parish fulfil its vision of bringing people closer to Jesus Christ in hope and joy. Allegra is passionate about evangelisation and helping people go deeper in their relationship with Jesus. She says, ‘my own faith grew and developed with the help of so many people along the way and still does. If I can play even a small part in another’s journey of faith, helping them fall in love with Jesus, grow closer to Him, and in their turn, start helping others along that road, then I am responding to my baptismal call’. Allegra also organises weekend retreats and is often invited to speak at retreat days, seminars, and conferences.

CAFOD Children's Liturgy - 2022-10-23 Today Jesus tells us a story about a Pharisee and a Tax Collector which teaches us how to pray and have a good heart. Let's hear more. Opening prayer: Merciful God, you know us through and through, and you forgive us when we have done wrong. Help us to know when we have made a mistake and to come to you with them in prayer each day. Amen.

Fr Toby further explores justice, relationship and also mercy - where on the path of conversion and forgiveness we might well encounter the Cross of Christ. 

Fr Toby reflects on living a life of real meaning now as well as focusing on the future.
