Auschwitz was liberated 79 years ago. More than a million men, women and children murdered there alone, six million in total during the Holocaust. We owe it to every one of them to make sure it never happens again.

For a child has been born for us,
a son given to us;
authority rests upon his shoulders;
and he is named
Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Merry Christmas to you all from St Augustine’s! #MerryChrismas#JoyToTheWorld#JesusChrist
