INTENTIONS
In October, we pray with Pope Francis that the Church may continue on the path of co-responsibility, which promotes the participation, communion and mission shared by priests, religious and laity.
‘Sharing in mission brings clergy and laypersons closer together; it builds a unity of purpose, demonstrates the complementarity of the different charisms, and thus awakens in all the desire to move forward together.’
– Pope Francis

MEMORIAL WINDOW
FR. MICHAEL’S
WINDOW
The lovely memorial to Father Michael is now in place. We are immensely grateful to Daniel Burke and his team at Lightworks, Clitheroe for their patient and painstaking work over the last year; each piece of glass carefully chosen, hand cut, painted and fired, sometimes several times. Almost four hundred sections make up the window, each beautiful in its own right. You may have a favourite section, the lamb, the draped cross, the face of Jesus, the lilies (Fr Michael’s favourite flower) or something else; but every time it is viewed, may we remember with love our own Father Michael, his work, his wisdom, his kindness, his faith and inspiration. As we thank God for him, we pray, may he rest in peace. Amen.

GROUNDWORKS
As you can see, the work is well underway. The time for completion is expected to be 2-3 weeks. Access to the carpark is subject to the needs of the workforce and H&S regulations, so it maybe closed at unannounced times. Please be patient - It will definitely be worth it in the end.
