Today we pray for Bishop Francis Christian, Auxiliary Bishop of the Diocese of Manchester.
Bishop Christian was ordained to the priesthood in 1968 and to the episcopate in 1996 as Auxiliary Bishop of Manchester, a position he holds to this day.
May this successor to the Apostles fulfill with strength and courage his call to help to shepherd the flock of this Diocese. May Mary shelter him in her mantle, walk beside him and lead him ever closer to her Son.
