"St Mark's Catholic Church in Ipswich began its Advent celebrations with a new Divine Mercy painting, commissioned by Fr Luke Goymour, and crafted by his brother, artist Ben Goymour. The five-foot oil painting replaces a small, faded image of the Divine Mercy, and as Fr Luke says, the new painting "enhances the church", story continues.

Story 1: "A student at Notre Dame High School in Norwich has been named as 'World Changer of the Year' for her efforts in helping young people with their mental health during the pandemic. Year 10 student Chili Tozer won the Pearson accolade after teaching herself to use an electric sewing machine in lockdown with the help of her grandma on racetime." Story continues.

Story 2: "Staff and children at the Sacred Heart VA Primary School in
Swaftham did not allow all the Covid-19 restrictions to dampen their Christmas cheer as they raised money for Uganda. A Christmas jumper design competition was one of many events which the school arranged in the lead-up to the Nativity. Won by Kimmie, the competition attracted a variety of artistic jumpers for the children to model. Money raised has been donated to the Sisters' mission in Uganda.". Story continues
