Mass at 8.30am St Mary's

Mass at 10.30 St Mary's



Two Sundays ago I gave out the news that Archbishop Malcolm has appointed me as Parish Priest for St Mary's, Euxton, as well as continuing pastoral care here at St Catherine's in Farington. The change has been rather sudden, following the well-earned retirement of Fr Gerry McCusker at Euxton.

One immediate effect of this is that there needs to be a change in Mass times to accommodate providing Mass in both parishes. 

Mass at St Catherine's from THIS weekend 
will be on a Saturday at 5pm.

Mass at St Mary's will be at 8.30am and 10.30am on Sunday.

Weekday Masses will be as often as I can provide them in both parishes.

This is an interim measure while - in consultation with Archdiocese, Deanery and the people - the future is discerned. We pray for the guidance of the Holy Spirit to use the resources God has given us to the their best advantage in providing for God's people and witnessing to the Gospel.

Masses this week and our Summer Fete

 

Friday marks teh feast of St John Plessinton, another of our local Catholic Martyrs who gave his life for the Mass and the Church. "As in the Primitive times, Christians were esteemed Traitors, and suffered as such by National Law, so are the Priests of the Roman Church here esteemed, and suffer such."            

From his speech at the scaffold.

A reminder that tomorrow, Saturday 13th, is our Summer Fete, starting at 1pm. The rain keeps getting less likely every time I look at the forecast.  But we'll be here anyway.  Come along and join us - you can always huddle around the BBQ to keep warm!
