Last Friday Cardinal Newman College welcomed Bishop Campbell who was celebrating the leavers' Mass.
Fr. Darren the college chaplain said "Bishop Campbell was delighted to attend the college to celebrate with the young people who would be shortly leaving the College for pastures new".
The Bishop gave the homily after the Gospel in which he said "Shortly you will move on from here into a wider and different world, just like those first disciples of the Lord Jesus. They faced the unknown and often the uncertain and you will do so as well. Those disciples could hardly have imagined the challenges they would have to face in bringing the story of Christ to the world. The assistance of Christ's Holy Spirit enabled them to bear unflinching witness to all and sundry. We have just heard from the Acts of the Apostles an example of Saint Paul proclaiming the Christian message and catechising his own fellow-Jews. Their work and courage in handing on the truth of what they received from Jesus is the reason why we are here this morning"
(The full Homily can be found here).
After Mass Bishop Campbell shared lunch with some students and staff before being taken on a tour of the college by Nick Burnham the Principle of Cardinal Newman College.
