In addition, on Sundays and feasts Sunday best should be worn by all: i.e. suits or jackets and ties for gentlemen, dresses for ladies. Thank you. We love having young children around in church and we thank parents for inculcating their little ones the respect owed to the House of God, and to secure recollection for fellow-worshippers. Parents are welcome to give exuberant children a break in the Narthex or outdoors if needed, especially during the Canon of the Mass and homily. To receive Holy Communion: one must be a Catholic, in the state of grace, one-hour fasting at least.

Thank you to all those who contributed to the success of the annual Warrington Corpus Christi procession on Sunday 19th June. Like on previous years, it was a beautiful prayerful witness to our shared Catholic faith in the Eucharistic Lord. Pope Francis said: “May this action of the Eucharistic procession, which we will carry out shortly, respond to Jesus’ command. An action to commemorate him; an action to give food to the crowds of today; an act to break open our faith and our lives as a sign of Christ’s love for this city and for the whole world.” (Corpus Christi 2016 Homily). Thank you to Canon Christopher Cunningham, PP who welcomed the procession at St Alban’s Church as on previous years.

Visit of Bishop Alphonsus Cullinan of Waterford (Ireland) with Fr Patrick O’Donohue, FSSP on 1-2 July at St Mary’s. Bishop Cullinan graciously accepted the request of Archbishop McMahon to step in for him as he was not fully recovered from Covid.

Here is a sermon Fr Phipps gave in 2018 for this feast:
Boys on the St Peter Summer Camp hike through the beautiful Peak District (2019)
UPDATE 1/7/22: Bookings are now closed.
NB Update 27/6/22.There are a few spaces remaining on these camps, but bookings MUST be received this week
We are delighted that after a two-year gap, it looks as though it will be possible this year to have our residential summer camps, for children aged 10-17.
St Peter Summer Camp for Boys runs 1-6 August
St Petronilla Summer Camp for Girls runs 8-13 August
Both camps take place at Savio House, Bollington (nr Macclesfield), in the gorgeous setting of the Peak District. There will be daily Mass, Compline, rosary, catechism & chant classes, sport, and various games. Very often the children put on a play for the parents at the end of the camp. Each camp is staffed by priests and seminarians of the FSSP, as well as a number of dedicated lay volunteers. Catering is provided by Savio House.
Please complete the booking form and return to Fr Phipps with deposit to book a place for your child. Please note, spaces are limited, so book early to avoid disappointment.
NB Please make out cheques to “FSSP England”. If you prefer to pay by bank transfer, you will find our details here – please ensure you are using ‘FSSP England’ account, and mention ‘summer camps 2022’ (or similar) in the reference.

About 200 people attended the 11:00am solemn high Mass of the external solemnity of Corpus Christi at St Mary’s Shrine, Warrington, on Sunday 19th June 2022. At the same Mass, several of our children received First Holy Communion.
Most of the congregation followed in procession across town to St Alban’s, the mother-church of Warrington, where Canon Cunningham, PP welcomed us for Benediction. As every year, people came from far and wide to take part in this rare opportunity to bear witness to our Eucharistic faith. Many passers-by will have looked at the Lord in the monstrance, perhaps for the first time in their lives.
Thank you to all those who worked very hard to make this Corpus Christi a success.

Entrance fee= £2 politely requested towards costs.
All ages welcome, from tiny to tall! Bring grandparents and friends too, but please let me know the names and ages of children who will be entering so we can write some certificates in advance!
The helpful hands of older siblings would be very much appreciated for identifying winners, writing certificates, staffing the start/finish lines, and generally keeping things running smoothly. If you would like to volunteer your older children for this, please do put them in touch! If anyone is able and willing to take responsibility for first aid, that would be great, too; please contact Alison Kahn (07840 072 641 or penketh.kahns@gmail.com)
The park is a public space, and parents are responsible for their children at all times– please keep a close eye on them!
Pray for: Ray Cilia, James H., Tim Wright, Michael Leacy, Wendy Moss, Bill Conder, Greta Doyle, Dorothea Wallace, Deryck Sankey; M. Hawley; Theresa Reynard; Hilda Creagan.

All must dress modestly in church out of reverence for God and of respect for fellow-worshippers. Women are encouraged to wear a veil or mantilla. Tops must cover bodies down to elbows and skirts at least below knees. No shorts, no t-shirts, no leggings. In addition, on Sundays and feasts Sunday best should be worn by all: i.e. suits or jackets and ties for gentlemen, dresses for ladies. Thank you.
We love having young children around in church and we thank parents for inculcating their little ones the respect owed to the House of God, and to secure recollection for fellow-worshippers. Parents are welcome to give exuberant children a break in the Narthex or outdoors if needed, especially during the Canon of the Mass and homily.
To receive Holy Communion: one must be a Catholic, in the state of grace, one-hour fasting at least. In the traditional liturgy, Holy Communion is received kneeling (unless unable to) and always on the tongue. Thank you in advance. Kindly switch OFF your mobile phonebefore you enter the church.

HM Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum Jubilee, 2-5 June:
www.royal.uk/platinum-jubilee-central-weekend.
We will offer special prayers for the Sovereign and country (cf Baronius p. 975). As the Jubilee Sunday coincides with Whitsunday, we will pray a Novena of preparation for Pentecost to request of God the Holy Ghost an outpouring of the Seven Gifts for Queen and Country. Thus after every public Mass from Fri 27th May until Sat 4th June, we will pray together the Veni Sancte Spiritus (Baronius p. 36).
Veni, Sancte Spiritus, reple tuorum corda fidelium, et tui amoris in eis ignem accende.
V. Emitte Spiritum tuum et creabuntur;
R. Et renovabis faciem terrae.
Oremus: Deus, qui corda fidelium Sancti Spiritus illustratione docuisti: da nobis in eodem Spiritu recta sapere, et de eius semper consolatione gaudere. Per Christum Dominum nostrum. Amen.
Come, Holy Ghost, fill the hearts of Thy faithful and kindle in them the fire of Thy love.
V. Send forth Thy Spirit and they shall be created
R. And Thou shalt renew the face of the earth.
Let us pray: O God, Who taught the hearts of the faithful by the light of the Holy Spirit, grant that, by the gift of the same Spirit, we may be always truly wise, and ever rejoice in His consolation. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
