Catholics in the Diaspora

The diaspora, "a group of people who live outside the area in which they had lived for a long time or in which their ancestors lived." For many reasons, Catholics have experienced separation from the place where they grew up, where their ancestors lived. They live in the diaspora. The ministry of Catholics in the Diaspora is focused on reaching out to these members of the family of faith, a community that is one with the great cloud of believers. Please journey with us.

Sing Ye to the Lord, He Hath Triumphed Gloriously

Alleluia! He Is Risen!

Have a wonderful day celebrating the day of our rebirth, the amazing day of our salvation. Welcome the newly baptised in the life, death, resurrection and glory of Jesus. Special blessings on my dear friend, Christopher.

Take a moment to read this compelling sermon by Pope Francis. Are we Peter?

Alleluia! Peace!

Sing Ye to the Lord (Bairstow)

Bairstow chose verses from Exodus as interpreted by Scots poet Robert Campbell:

Sing ye to the Lord,

For He hath triumphed gloriously.

Pharoah's chariots and his host

Hath He cast into the sea.

Mighty victim from the sky,

Hell's fierce pow'rs beneath Thee lie

Thou hast conquer'd in the fight,

Thou hast brought us life and light.

Now no more can death appal,

Now no more the grave enthral,

Thou hast open'd Paradise,

And in Thee Thy Saints shall rise.

Alleluia! Amen,
