Happier times: Bishop Patrick inducts Fr Michael as parish priest - Feb 2013

Southwark Bishop Patrick Lynch met with Father Michael Branch, parish priest of Saint Peter the Apostle, Woolwich, today, Thursday, 23 May. In the wake of yesterday's tragic killing of a soldier from Woolwich Barracks, they issued this joint request for prayer:

'We encourage people to pray for the young man who died so tragically and for his family and colleagues at Woolwich Barracks who must be devastated by recent events.

We would also ask people of the diocese to unite themselves in prayer with the people of Woolwich at this difficult time.

In recent years there has been a very good relationship between the various cultural and faith communities in the Woolwich area and we have every confidence that this mutual respect and collaboration will indeed continue and grow stronger.'
