“To help put Christ at the centre,
I have asked everyone in the diocese
to keep six holy habits:
1) to spend five minutes a day in prayer
2) to attend Mass every Sunday
3) to go to Confession once a month or so
4) to keep Fridays as a day of penance and charity
5) to visit and pray before the Blessed Sacrament once a fortnight
6) to join a small group for fellowship, formation and support.”
Philip Egan, Bishop of Portsmouth
