St John of God Week 2026

This year, our theme of the week is compassion, reflecting our Year of Compassion. It is a chance for us to pause; to recognise the many ways compassion is lived each day across our services, and to celebrate the care, kindness and hospitality that are at the heart of who we are.  We are encouraging each service, team or region to organise something local during the week if possible — a gathering, reflection, cup of tea, shared lunch, prayer, wellbeing activity, or any simple moment that brings people together.
