Abbot Hugh Allan joins us again this month for an episode of At the Foot of the Cross that amplifies the Bishops’ call for Catholics, and those of goodwill who stand against the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill, to contact their MPs to ask them to vote against making assisted suicide law. The […]

As we enter the summer months, it seems appropriate to focus this episode of At the Foot of the Cross on rest and recuperation.

April’s podcast on May Day? M’aider is about right in this case. So, if you’re prepared to forgive the chronological faux pas, you will certainly get something out of this At the Foot of the Cross podcast. This episode sees us discuss the Bishops’ plenary assembly and ongoing formation week in Rome that saw Archbishop […]

March’s At the Foot of the Cross podcast has somehow found its way into the middle of the month where it should be. As such, our Director of Mission and regular guest Abbot Hugh Allan has the opportunity to offer a few words on Laetare Sunday (15 March). Laetare is Latin for ‘rejoice’ and on […]

Holy Land | Episode 28

Sneaking in on the penultimate day of January is the first At the Foot of the Cross podcast of 2026.

Plenary Revisited | Episode 27

There’s a slightly different feel to November’s At the Foot of the Cross podcast. As well as being a month of remembrance and prayer for those who have died, both on our parish November lists and in the World Wars and other conflicts, it’s also a time when the Catholic Bishops of England and Wales […]
In Our Time | Episode 26

In this episode of At the Foot of the Cross, Abbot Hugh Allan joins us again as we discuss the Gaza peace deal and the way forward for the Holy Land.
