My dear Priests and People,
We have all been very concerned about the recent flood damage in Cumbria due to the most exceptional weather conditions. Our heartfelt sympathy, solidarity and prayers go out to all those so grievously affected.
As a gesture of practical support for those in need I ask that a retiring collection be taken up on the Second Sunday of Advent 2009 in all our parishes to assist those who are suffering so much at present and are striving to rebuild their lives.
With every good wish and prayer,
Michael G Campbell OSA
Bishop of Lancaster
