…from all the clergy for all the cards, gifts and donations received at Christmas! A big thank-you too to everyone who worked so hard to make our Christmas celebrations here at St Mary’s so beautiful (cleaning/decorating the church; serving; singing; etc.). May God reward you all!
Liturgical Calendar: 31 December 2023 – 13 January 2024
Note that, in this country, the obligation to assist at Holy Mass on the Feast of the Epiphany this year is transferred to the following Sunday (7 January).
FIRST HOLY COMMUNION / CONFIRMATION CANDIDATES FOR 2024 If you have a child who is approaching the age to receive these sacraments, please contact Fr Evans.
Frs Goddard, Verrier, Stewart, Evans and Jolly, along with seminarian Péter Uhel, wish you and your loved ones a very happy and blessed Christmas!
Please note that our Christmas Day collections do not go to the priests (as is the custom in some places), but rather to the FSSP apostolate. If you’d like to make personal gifts to the priests, please do so outside of the collections, making clear that it is for their personal use.
Fr Goddard (the new Shrine Rector) and Fr Evans (Assistant Priest) would like to express their sincere thanks for the warm and generous welcome that they have received, since moving to Warrington a week last Wednesday. Thank you, in particular, for those who organized the (unexpected!) party after the 11am Sunday Mass last week. Frs Goddard and Evans are very much looking forward to ministering to this committed vibrant community and to meeting you all in due course. Please keep them both, and all our priests, in your prayers.
