Summer Camp St Peter underway in the Peak District!

The 2018 Summer Camp for boys, under the patronage of St Peter, got underway on Monday. We are at a new location this year, in Bollington on the edge of the Peak District. The theme for the camp is the True Devotion to Mary of St Louis Marie Grignon de Montfort.

You can see photos of the camp at the Flickr page.

Please pray for the success of this camp and for all the participants.

CALL THE DRONE!

Great aerial pictures and video of targetted Priory and former School in Warrington:
(thanks to expert team Tony & Fin!)

Help us buy back the former Benedictine Priory in Warrington (the two attached Georgian houses along Buttermarket Street aligned with church on the left of this picture) and Priory Court at the rear (the detached longer building at the bottom of this picture, where former St Mary’s School used to stand). 

As you can see, both buildings are part of the same triangular compound as St Mary’s Church and current Priory (the modern looking smaller rectangular building surrounded by garden) – both legally owned by our charity. Unless we gather GBP1.5m by mid October 2018, the owner will turn the two other buildings into one-bedroom flats. 

Instead, we have a great opportunity to buy them back and create a dynamic Catholic hub around our beautiful Pugin church! Please email Fr Rector if you can pledge money: malleray@fssp.org.
