Looking back at 2024

8th January 2025

As we look back on some of the highlights of 2024, we are reminded of the unity and faith that define our diocese. From celebrating milestones in ministry and community outreach to embracing new challenges and opportunities, the past year has been a testament to the commitment and dedication of all who contribute to life in the Diocese of Manchester. As we move into 2025, we carry forward the lessons and joy of this year, excited for opportunities to grow, serve, and continue our shared mission. Join us as we reflect on some of the accomplishments we achieved together as a diocese.
