The January Bishops' Conference newsletter has a wide range of topics including news of Catholic Parliamentary Internships for 2010-11, a look back on the Sixth World Congress on the Pastoral Care of Migrants and Refugees, an update from the Catholic 2012 desk, details of the Caritas Social Action Network dementia and spirituality DVD and more.

To access the January newsletter and previous issues, please visit the Catholic Church of England & Wales website. There is also a ‘sign up' facility there to receive the electronic newsletter directly as each issue is produced.

These newsletters outline the current work of the Bishops' Conference of England and Wales, and that of its departments and agencies. The aim is to inform the Catholic community and beyond about the Bishops' national work in a simple and transparent way. The newsletters also offer liturgical resources for the period ahead. This initiative comes as a response to requests that the work of the Bishops' Conference should be more accessible and promoted more widely.
