YES WE REMEMBER - A POEM FROM OUR RESIDENT POET

This poem marks Bishop Ralph's Golden Jubilee of ordination.

YES, WE REMEMBER

How can it be

So many years have flown,

Yet, enduring BE flock

Still remember the gentle shepherd’s

Tender care and warmth.

But, as Redemptorist protocol prescribes,

Our cherished pastors

Move on to enigmas new.

No mystery who updated us

With snippets of your progress –

In familiar homeland

And even warmer climes!

Now, Your Odyssey has run full circle.

Dear Ralph,

Ever true to your vows and principles,

On this Golden Celebration,

You are in our hearts and prayers.

 THANKYOU FROM SOUTH LIVERPOOL FOODBANK (VIA SVP) MAY 2026:

Wow - what can we say? Except that we're totally blown away by your kindness and your latest donation.

The £500 you donated will make a real difference, enabling us to continue to be there for people day after day - providing emergency food when the cupboards are bare, a listening ear when things feel overwhelming, and advice to help people take control with dignity.

We know that severe levels of hardship still prevail in our communities and while falling inflation has helped some, many are still struggling to cope. Thousands of people and families are having to face impossible choices: heating or eating, bills or food.This is so sad and it’s why hundreds are being forced to turn to our food bank every month.Last year alone we were able to provide 6,816 local people with emergency food and toiletries - 2,204 of those were children.  In addition, everyone who turned to us had access to a dedicated Citizens Advice Adviser. She helped over 200 people gain, on average, an extra £1,750 in their pockets - making it less likely they’ll need to use our food bank again.

This would not have been possible without your continued support.And for that we’re truly grateful.
