Whether by luck or divine intervention, our Vicar for Communications and Editor of Catholic Outlook, Br Mark O’Connor FMS was in Rome for Easter and has extended his stay to cover one of the most significant events in the Church’s history. This is his fourth ‘letter’. 

“Accept surprises that upset your plans, shatter your dreams, give a completely different turn to your day and who knows? – to your life.

Leave the Father free himself to weave the pattern of your days”

– Dom Helder Camara

Br Mark’s fourth ‘letter’ is a podcast with Donnie Velasco, one of our talented MET Facilitators.
