Thank you for spreading the word today. Launching Regina Caeli Hybrid Academy in Warrington will help children get a better Catholic education.
By Regina Caeli Academy UK
In 2019, a few families in Bedfordshire took the initiative to bring a successful U.S. model of Classical Catholic education to the U.K. and founded Regina Caeli Academy UK, with pastoral support from the Priestly Fraternity of St. Peter. In its second year, the number of families using the Academy has already doubled, with more families joining and moving to the area this year in anticipation of September 2021. Full details about Regina Caeli Academy, including an introductory video, fees, timetables and curriculum, are available at www.rcahybrid.org.uk.
Given the growing community in Warrington, and answering demand from local parents, we would very much like to start a centre at St Mary’s Warrington, with God’s help, from September 2021. The Academy offers a full Classical Curriculum, completely grounded on the magisterium of the Catholic Church, and a community of Catholic families. Trained, paid teachers provide two days per week of on-site tuition. For the other days of the week, comprehensive study plans are provided for parents to follow with their children. Parents benefit from structure, accountability and community, and their children gain Catholic friends for life.
Over the past 18 years, thousands of children have been educated with this curriculum in the U.S., so parents can be confident that it is a tried and tested system of Catholic education which results in robust qualifications, a lifelong love of learning and, most importantly, a deep-rooted faith.
If you are a parent who is interested in the Warrington RCA for your own children, please email Michael and Aileen Seymour, the Warrington coordinators of Regina Caeli Academy: TheAcademyStMarys@gmail.com giving your contact details and your children’s ages/current school years. Alternatively, if you would like to apply for the Warrington RCA, please fill out the application form at: https://www.rcahybrid.org.uk/application-form.
If you are a teacher who wants to work in such a Catholic environment, or have administrative skills that could help shape the Academy, please also contact us as above. We don’t need financial assistance to start up, but you could certainly also help us with prayer, in particular to the now Venerable Mother Elizabeth Prout, foundress of the female branch of the Passionists who used to run St Mary’s School in Warrington. Any financial support will be gratefully received by Regina Caeli Academy: please contact in advance Regina Caeli Academy UK: https://www.rcahybrid.org.uk/contact (please note that the FSSP does not presently collect donations in connection with this project).
To allow us to plan the expected opening, we need to know by 1st May 2021 how many children will start with us in September.
Please be sure to contact us long before that deadline. Lastly, please share this information far and wide now. Thank you on behalf of many children – and their parents!
Welcome
to our First-Time Visitors! We are glad to share
with you the beauty and depth of the traditional Latin Mass. Feel welcome to ask us
about silence, Holy Communion on the tongue, the use of Latin, etc. Most
people here came across this form of the Mass within the past few years or
months. Like you they were perplexed at first. Now they treasure it. Find
out more on lms.org.uk/faqs

Catholic Academy Warrington: please spread the word now
As Rector of St Mary’s Shrine, I am delighted that Regina Caeli UK wishes to begin here in September. I now urgently request YOU to share this news. If you don’t have children to send here soon, there are people you know, or their friends, who might if they hear about it. Your help to spread the word NOW is crucial because 1) we can’t afford a media campaign and 2) we have just one month until the 1st May deadline. Thank you for our little ones!

Last day for vaccine passports:
To date, 312,619 people signed the Government petition “Do not rollout Covid-19 vaccine passports”, stating “We want the Government to commit to not rolling out any e-vaccination status/immunity passport to the British public. Such passports could be used to restrict the rights of people who have refused a Covid-19 vaccine, which would be unacceptable.” You can sign it here if you haven’t https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/569957.
Parliament debated the issue of vaccine passports in response to the petition, deciding that the next step is to issue a Call For Evidence. It is a sort of public consultation which anyone can participate in.
The full title is: Open Consultation. COVID Status Certification Review Call For Evidence It is vital that as many people as possible tell the Government why vaccine certificates are a bad idea.
The closing date is 11.45pm on 29/3/21 so you have 3 days left to do this.
To do this you need to go to the link below and submit your comments.
You don’t need to write at lengths. Just a few points will suffice. It does not matter that you are an ordinary person, you don’t need any specialist knowledge. This will impact you and your family.
As a reminder: Britons have not died noticeably more in 2020.
Based on Government figures, like every year over the past decade, population in Great Britain increased during the year 2020. Despite the Covid-19 pandemic, the mortality rate in England & Wales in 2020 has not skyrocketed. It simply went back to its slightly higher level of ten years ago.
From 2004 to 2006, 11 people would die for every thousand of the population.
From 2007 to 2010, 10 people would die for every thousand.
From 2011 to 2019, an average 9.5 people would die for every thousand.
In 2020, again 10 people died for every thousand.
Thus the number of deaths per thousand over the past sixteen years has varied from 11 to 10, to 9.5 to 10 again (precisely from 9.25 to 10.43 per thousand between 2019 and 2020 according to ons.gov.uk). It is not considerable. In fact, statistically, it is fairly stable. Thus, Britons have not died noticeably more in 2020. By comparison with a neighbouring country with the same number of inhabitants as the UK (67 million in either country), the rise was even smaller across the Channel, with France registering 9.8 deaths per thousand in 2020 against 9.1 in 2019 according to government figures (www.insee.fr).
Holy Week 2021
Palms will be blessed only at the 11:00am Palm Sunday Mass, then available for you to collect later or the following days. Due to Covid, the palms we provide are to be taken individually in the Narthex as you walk in and held in your hand to be blessed from a distance by the priest (as permitted by the rubrics). The congregation will not walk in procession.

Year and month of St Joseph: March is dedicated to the foster father of Our Lord Jesus, with his feast on Friday 19th. But this extends to the entire year, as the Holy Father has announced a Year of St Joseph, Patron of the Universal Church, beginning this past December 8. Read the Apostolic Letter, Patris Corde. Let’s all make it a priority for 2021 to come to a deeper appreciation and devotion to St Joseph.

St Joseph: God’s foster-father. In the context of the Year of St Joseph, we will meditate on glorious St Joseph, the man who lived for thirty years in close intimacy with the Lord Jesus and Our Lady. St Joseph is a model for obedience to the divine will, for manly courage and strength as well as for purity. He is invoked as Terror of devils and Patron of the Happy Death.

Watch the video HOW TO REMAIN IN THE PRESENCE OF GOD
“Remaining in the presence of God” – Fr. de Malleray, FSSPFr. Armand de Malleray, FSSP provides a reflection: “Remaining in the presence of God: the best kept secret that saints would die to share with us. Avoiding grave sins and dangerous occasions is a prerequisite to sanctity; as well as becoming regular in saying our prayers, confessing our sins and receiving Holy Communion. But all along, nothing will help us like cultivating the presence of God lovingly watching us day and night. This is how so many sinners became saints.”

St Joseph is a model for obedience to the divine will, for manly courage and strength as well as for purity. He is invoked as Terror of devils and Patron of the Happy Death.”

Welcome
to our First-Time Visitors! We are glad to share
with you the beauty and depth of the traditional Latin Mass. Feel welcome to ask us
about silence, Holy Communion on the tongue, the use of Latin, etc. Most
people here came across this form of the Mass within the past few years or
months. Like you they were perplexed at first. Now they treasure it. Find

But this extends to the entire year, as the Holy Father Pope Francis has announced a Year of St Joseph, Patron of the Universal Church, beginning this past December 8. Read the Apostolic Letter, Patris Corde. Let’s all make it a priority for 2021 to come to a deeper appreciation and devotion to St Joseph. There are many indulgences available throughout the year. We commend to you this prayer composed by one of our own parishioners, which has received an Imprimatur from the Bishop of Portsmouth:
Royal St Joseph, chosen by God the Father to
be His Son’s earthly Father. Look down upon England, Mary’s Dowry. See the
House of Nazareth is broken.
Do not look upon this poor sinner and turn away, but through your most powerful
intercession, take your heavenly tools and rebuild your Spouse’s House and give
it back to Her more resplendent than it was before.
Restore to the Mother of God what is rightfully Hers, so England may once again
be a light to the Nations, where Christ the King reigns over us, and His Mother
is seated at His right Hand as Our Immaculate Queen.
Glory Be. O Christ the King, reign over us.
Glory Be. O Mary, Immaculate Queen, intercede for us.
Glory Be. O Royal St Joseph, hear us through our Guardian Angel. Amen.

Venerable Ignatius Spencer
Archbishop Malcolm McMahon OP of Liverpool has requested that the following message be sent out:
The Venerable Ignatius Spencer CP
It was with great happiness that I heard the news on 20 February 2021 that Fr Ignatius Spencer CP was declared by the catholic Church as having lived a life of heroic virtue and may now be called ‘venerable’. To get this news so soon after the very recent declaration of Sr Elizabeth Prout CP as ‘venerable’ is a remarkable grace to the Passionist Order and to the archdiocese. These two Victorian Catholics are as relevant to the mission of the church today as they were in their lifetimes. They show us how to reach out beyond ourselves and respond to suffering due to poverty and deprivation. My prayer is that the shrine at St. Anne’s, Sutton [NB: 18 minutes from St Mary’s Warrington] which harbours the mortal remains of three great Passionists, Blessed Dominic Barberi, Venerable Elizabeth Prout and the now Venerable Ignatius Spencer, will increase as a centre of devotion and prayer in the archdiocese. All three of these great disciples loved the poor and worked tirelessly for their bodily and spiritual wellbeing.
Venerable Ignatius, who had left behind a life of privilege, devoted himself tirelessly to visiting the poor, giving food and all his personal possessions to those in need. His preaching and writings showed him to be a true disciple of Jesus and in his daily life he lived out the passion of our Lord in heroic fashion. His life of service is a true example to his living relatives, Prince William and Prince Harry, and is to be emulated by us all.
Malcolm McMahon OP Archbishop of Liverpool
