This month, Bishop John will be leading a small
diocesan party to visit friends in our link diocese
of Peru.
Bishop John last visited Peru in early 2012,
and there have been major changes since then
and since the last group visited in 2014, with
three Peruvian bishops consecrated in July 2015
and an indigenous diocesan bishop in place
since April last year. The aim of this visit is to
strengthen relationships with the new diocesan
leadership and to discuss the direction
the partnership might take in the future.
The group will travel around the Diocese,
hopefully visiting at least three of the
five areas of work: Lima, Arequipa and
Chiclayo. Recent months have been
a period of transition and although
the Diocese of Peru is still struggling
financially, real efforts are being made to
encourage sustainability.
Those in the group who have visited before will be renewing old friendships, and will
hopefully provide support and encouragement to the people of the Diocese and the
projects they support. As always, there will also be many things to learn from the
Peruvian hosts.
Bishop John said: “I’m very much looking forward to going to Peru again to visit our
Christian sisters and brothers there. Our link is a precious one which I value greatly.”
Please pray for those travelling and for the people and projects they will be visiting, and
for the life and work of the Diocese of Peru.
