September 2025 Newsletter from Diocesan Link for Arundel & Brighton
SEPTEMBER
2025 Newsletter from NBCW Diocesan Link
Welcome to the September edition
of the NBCW Diocesan Link newsletter.
Do have a look at past blog pages as there are some good
ideas on how to increase our personal formation and spread the word of our
faith. In the August blog I included some summer book suggestions and was
pleased to see a comment by Marguerite suggesting a book I hadn’t heard of. It
was called ‘God’s Smuggler’ by Brother Andrew. I bought it from Eden.co.uk, the Christian
Bookshop, and agree with Marguerite his testimony is ‘mind-blowing’. It’s a
book to make you laugh, cry and wonder.
September brings us 2 big events. Here in our diocese on 20th
September is the Festival of Hope, and the next weekend September 26-28th
is the Jubilee of Catechists in Rome. Both events I am looking forward
to.
Do share comments And thankyou for reading my blog.

The Genesis account of Abraham and
his lengthy walk with God is our inspiration as we spend five days travelling
with the Lord. We’ll be reflecting on our life’s journey so far, with all its
ups and downs and discerning our path for the future. Each day will include
prayer, teaching, workshops and a relaxed lunch. The emphasis will be on coming
to terms with the challenges of later years and seeing life afresh with all its
possibilities.
“Undertaking the course
has helped me to accept that I am in a new phase of my life but that I am no
less valuable. It has given me the confidence to explore new challenges and new
directions that God may make known.” – Abraham participant

A New Resource from the NBCW Education Committee
Journeying
On: A faith formation resource – NBCW
The NBCW Education Committee promotes a holistic, lifelong education for Catholic women, focusing on both spiritual and moral development. While there is a large element of formation in its approach, the committee nevertheless remains alert to the issues affecting Catholic schools and through webinars and discussions examines the social factors which prevent young women from engaging fully with education and their faith. Never dormant, its most recent task has been to produce a student formation booklet, “Journeying On,” which highlights opportunities for ongoing spiritual development. This is available on our website, and we warmly invite you to browse the content. Journeying On: A faith formation resource – NBCW
