New Mass times

Tuesday is the Feast of St Hildegard of Bingen

Twenty Fourth Sunday. Year B. 15th September.

Parishes of St Mary, Euxton

 & 

St Catherine, Farington.


Vigil Mass at 5pm St Catherine's

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.

Monday 9.30am Mass at St Catherine's

A new Parish Appointment

 

Twenty Third Sunday. Year B. 8th September.

Mass at 8.30am

Mass at 10am 



Last Sunday 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 NEXT weekend 
will be on a Saturday at 5pm.

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

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.
