Thank you to those who came on the Parish pilgrimage to visit the relics of St Bernadette yesterday.

Relics of St Bernadette

 

We went as a parish to visit the relics of St Bernadette, presently on tour in the UK, and yesterday at St Mary's Church in Chorley.  we took our petitions, most especially for the sick, to the Saint of Lourdes.
As always, so grateful that so many parishioners came along - about 25 of us. Great turn out considering we are such a small parish.

Pictured here with Fr Grant Maddock, Parish Priest at Lydiate. We had some extra time in church as we stayed behind during the procession to anoint the sick.

St Mary's, Chorley, is a magnificent building (the actual glorious High Altar, sadly no longer in use for Mass).

Some more photos of giving a flavour of the evening.













Friday 9 September 2022

Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Requiscat in pace.

 

We will offer Mass for the repose of her soul this Sunday at both Mass times.

We will pray for her who has borne the burden of being head of state for all these many years. In this, she is like every Christian.  For the Catholic way is not, at this point, to celebrate her life in a memorial service or to eulogize the departed into an an informal canonization. Rather, we pray for her soul, as we do for all those who have gone before us to stand before the King of Heaven.

Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon her.

-----------------------------------------------------------

This Friday, as a parish, we will go on pilgrimage to visit the relics of St Bernadette. The coach leaves at 6pm for St Mary's, Chorley for Mass and candlelight procession with Archbishop Malcolm. There are still a few places left if you want to come along.

----------------------------------------------------------

Spare a thought also for one of our parishioners, Anthony, who tomorrow, Saturday, is undertaking the "Tough Mudder" assault course and doing this as a sponsored event raising funds for our parish. Thank you, Anthony!
