With much sadness come to terms of the death of Emeritus Pope Benedict who passed away today. We also express our love and joy for the wonderful service he gave to the Catholic Church and the faith he so loved.
We are blessed to have the legacy of his many books, sixty odd in number, as well as his three encyclicals Deus Caritas Est, Spe Salvi and Caritas in Veritate (God Is Charity, Hope of Salvation and Charity in Truth).
We pray for the repose of Benedict's soul that he may rest in peace and rise in eternal glory. Amen.

The passing of Diana Klein is remembered by many within the Landings family. Diana was known for, and much respected for her work as a catechist, a photographer, a writer, editor, and lecturer. Diana was also involved with Landings when it was based at Ealing Abbey. So, it is with great sadness that we pay our respects to Diana for the love, passion and commitment she showed through her faith and to the many people whose lives she touched through her work in the Westminster Diocese.
