What is the process in the preparation of the prepared prayer intentions? The faithful from around the world suggest papal prayer intentions to the international office of the Pope’s Worldwide Prayer Network in Rome. Through prayerful discernment the international office selects a large number of them and submits them to the Vatican for further selection, with the Pope making the final selection. The Vatican then entrusts to the Pope’s Worldwide Prayer Network the official set of monthly prayer intentions, which are then translated into the major world languages and published in print and digital formats. THE MEDAILLE TRUST (www.medaille-trust.org.uk), now in its 13th year, is the largest provider of Safe House accommodation for victims of modern slavery in this country. Financial contributions invited.

Full details: www.vmminternational.org PRIESTS ON THE PISTE: Poland`s annual Pope John Paul II competition for skiing priests took to the slopes again this year. On 2 February priests and clergymen, inspired by the former pontiff`s example, swapped Sunday and sundry sermons for skis on slippery, snow-covered slopes - cassocks optional - to take part in the Pope John Paul II skiing competition in Wisla, Poland. Note: Pope John Paul II was a renowned skier. An indefatigable hiker and kayaker, he scorned lifts and preferred to climb on his hickory skis. In his 20s, he was an athlete, standing 5 feet 10.5 inches at 175 pounds. He suffered a number of injuries causing him to stoop in later years. Bishop Mark O`Toole visited St Peter, Prince of Apostles, Church (Budleigh Salterton) on 29 January to celebrate Mass and to bless the Holy Family Hall. There was a large congregation attending the service and parishioners from both St Peter`s Church and Holy Ghost Church (Exmouth) were in their seats early. Guests included the Town Mayor, Cllr. Tom Wright, and his wife, ministers from other churches, Father Robin and his wife Anne, Sisters from the Holy Family Convent (Exmouth) and other guests from the wider community. In his homily the Bishop said how wonderful it was to be celebrating Mass in a church dedicated to St Peter, Prince of Apostles BS CHILDREN ON THE BEACH: Disadvantaged children in Devon are to benefit from Co-op teamwork after Beach Schools South West CIC was chosen as Community Fund beneficiaries for this year. Beach Schools South West teach on the beach and they are already offering some schools in Plymouth free sessions - but the schools cannot afford the transport to get there. Beach Schools is an award-winning CIC which teaches curriculum-linked learning on the beach, helping children understand about the world they live in, the environment around them, sea safety, plastics pollution and helping to improve their mental and physical health. Further information: www.beachschoolssouthwest.co.uk FRIENDS OF THE HOLY LAND, founded in 2009, helps and supports the Christian population of the West Bank, Gaza, Israel and Jordan working to improve education, employment, health and housing and to develop a resilient and enduring Christian community in the Holy land.

Carmelite priests, nuns, brothers and sisters serve people in parishes, medical clinics, women`s centres, schools, retreat houses, hospitals, catechetical centres, prisons, housing, job and skills development programmes and sacramental celebrations around the world.
