On Friday 24 June, Bishop John Wilson joined students from Rosary Primary Catholic School in Hampstead to bury a time capsule in a construction site next to the school. Bishop John donated the items for the capsule, which included an image of Pope Francis, a small copy of Pope Francis' pectoral cross bearing the image of Jesus the Good Shepherd, two coins from Westminster Cathedral and an image of the Year of Mercy.
Along with these items, was a manuscript recording the date and 
historic significant of the time capsule. It was buried on the Bartrams site on which once stood the Convent of the Sisters of Providence and of the Immaculate Conception.
The capsule also includes contributions from students at the school, along with local maps of the area and a blueprint of the new development.
The capsule replaces the original time capsule found on the site during excavation for new homes being built on the site. It was donated by the developer PegasusLife to Rosary Primary School.
The original capsule was planted in May 1957 during the rebuilding of the convent and chapel after the destruction of the previous buildings during the Second World War. It contained medallions and a manuscript deposited by Bishop George Craven, Auxliary Bishop of Westminster at the time.
After the ceremony which included Bishop John praying over the site, the new capsule was buried to a great cheer from the students.
