The Traditional Family is God’s Instrument — a powerful reflection for the end of 2025 and the start of 2026 on the role of the family in God’s plan. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦✨ In this beautiful piece by Fr Sean Sheehy, we’re reminded that God chose a family — the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph — as His instrument in the world. The article explores why a stable, God-centred family — rooted in marriage between a man and a woman, is essential not just for society, but for raising holy, virtuous adults. It shows how the health of society flows from the health of the domestic church at home.

Our Lady of Ransom is a good Catholic School in Rayleigh, Essex, run by a friend of mine. They are currently looking for a new KS1/2 Teacher to start in September.

My experience has caused me to be somewhat in awe of those who value our future to the extent that they are prepared to dedicate their lives to the formation of the next generation. However, I am not without concern, especially with regard to my own academic specialty, Religious Education. "But Mark," you might say, "How are you qualified to comment?", and you would have a point, notwithstanding my qualifications as noted above, so I am not going to comment.
