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
Following the recommendations and requirements of the recent Health and Safety and Fire Risk Assessment reports, work will begin shortly on the grassed area next to the hall. The start date was expected to be 9th September but they hit a snag with supplies. All being well the work will get underway from 29.09.24. The car park will only be closed once the work is underway. Sorry for any inconvenience.
CHURCH ADMINISTRATION
The church office will be open every Thursday from 9.30 until 12.30p.m. at the presbytery.
