On Saturday 15th June Raymond Friel OBE, CEO of Caritas Social Action Network, led a Study Day, reflecting on Catholic Social Teaching and what the Church says about democracy and voting. Talks were held at the Catholic Church of Christ the Eternal High Priest, Gidea Park (RM2 6DH).

Welcome to What Good News!

The Christian message is good news. That is essentially what ‘gospel’ means.

Our reaction as believers to the message of Jesus, and that of millions of people throughout the last two thousand years, has been one of gratitude.

With the apostle Paul we pray: ‘May the word of Christ in all its richness find a home in you.’ (Colossians 3:16)
