Clergy Thoughts: The Feast of The Holy Family Year A reminds us of the importance of family life and the values that strengthen it. The readings invite us to reflect on honouring our loved ones, practicing compassion and patience, and trusting in God’s guidance. Through the example of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, we learn how to live faithfully within our own families, even when faced with challenges. In our world today, families face many pressures, economic struggles, misunderstandings, and the fast pace of life. The Holy Family shows us that holiness is not about perfection but about faithfulness, unity, and trust in God.  Let us pray that our families may be places where love is nurtured, faith is lived, and hope is shared. And for those who feel alone or far from family, may the Church and community be a source of welcome and belonging. I wish each an every one a Prosperous and a Happy New Year 2026. Fr Alex

St Henry Morse Services

Welcome to the St Henry Morse website.

The main church of our parish is St Henry Morse in Diss which was built in 2012 replacing the Church of The Most Holy Trinity on Stanley Road dating from 1952.Included in the parish is the Carmel of Quidenham; it has its own website at https://quidenhamcarmel.org.uk.

Our website has now been reorganised and moved to a specially developed server.

So far I have concentrated on giving simple fast access to highly relevant material.

But I need help to broaden the range of content. For example, I can easily add

• eye catching posters about forthcoming events;
• more detailed information about announcements in the newsletter than space allows there;
• photos and accounts of St Henry Morse activities.

All suggestions and contributions are very welcome; contact me,

Chris Wright at ckwright@allmail.net.
