Ahead of a new school year, Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O’Connor, Archbishop of Westminster, and Archbishop Patrick Kelly of Liverpool, President and Vice-President of the Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales have writen a pastoral letter to all parishes in England and Wales.

“We, the Catholic Bishops of England and Wales, want at the start of this new school year to re-affirm our vision of Catholic education and our commitment to providing Catholic schools. We also want to highlight how successful our schools are and the contribution they make to society in general.”
