The brothers of the Community were saddened to hear of the death of our former brother, Barnabas Siddle, on Tuesday 9 March of a suspected heart attack. He was 48.

Since leaving CR 10 years ago, Barnabas had lived alongside the Sacred Cross sisters at Tymawr. He was much appreciated as their cook.

Please join us in praying for them in their loss and give thanks to God for his life. May he rise in glory.

Happiest of birthdays to our brother Fr Aidan Mayoss who turned 90 years young on Friday! Here he is refreshed in the Lenten fast with a welcome slice of cake, for which we thank our chef James. We give thanks to God for Aidan’s service to the Church, the religious life and not least his fellowship with us in the mystery of the Resurrection.

College students and staff had a flipping good time on Shrove Tuesday in order to raise money for the Community’s appeal to support a schools gardening project in Zimbabwe. You can watch the pancake flipping video here; https://fb.watch/478ousIT-b/

The College of The Resurrection is seeking to appoint a priest with appropriate pastoral experience to the role of Dean of Pastoral Studies. The priest appointed will join the small team of five core staff at the college which uniquely shares in the life and worship of its founding religious community, The Community of The Resurrection.

The college was founded in 1903 and the Mirfield heritage holds together Tractarianism, Christian Socialism and a history engagement as well as the liturgical and spiritual vitality of a monastic community. Today, students are drawn to Mirfield by its rhythm of life and worship, by the common life of the college community and by its opportunities for learning. The College community is hoping the new Dean of Pastoral Studies will enter into the life of the College and share in all its joys and challenges, that they will give us an example of priestly life and enable students to gain insights and experience that will inform their own future ministry.

Potential applicants are invited to arrange an informal conversation with the interim post-holder, The Revd Canon Cathy Rowling (crowling@mirfield.org.uk), or with the Principal, Bishop Mark Sowerby (msowerby@mirfield.org.uk).
