The God Who Speaks - The Year of the Word 

30th September 2019 - 31st December 2020
‘celebrating, living and sharing God's word’

The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales have designated 2020 as 'The God Who Speaks': A Year of the Word to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Verbum Domini - Pope Benedict XVI’s Apostolic Exhortation on ‘The Word of the Lord’, and the 1600th anniversary of death of St Jerome, who translated the Bible into Latin.’  In keeping with the Church’s three year cycle there will also be a specific focus on St Matthew’s Gospel.
