Safeguarding: If you have concerns about children or vulnerable adults, please contact the Archdiocesan Safeguarding Department: m.robson@rcaol.org.uk or 0151 522 1013, or speak with Clare Fraser, St Mary’s Safeguarding Officer. Thank you for your awareness.
New Shrine staff: We welcome as Secretarial Assistant every Wednesday morning Mrs Kelly Williams, who attends St Mary’s Shrine with her family. She brings a wealth of experience as a former parish secretary in another diocese, and can be contacted at stmaryssecretary@fssp.org. She will assist our Shrine Administrator Mrs Jane Wright, who remains with us working on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
On behalf of St Mary’s community, let our lay staff be thanked for their hard work behind the scenes.
Welcome home to our seminarians from the UK & Ireland on their post-Christmas break: in particular David from Warrington, and Tom, Conan and Benjamin. See great seminary pictures here: http://fsspwigratzbad.blogspot.com/.
New Year: two separate Plenary Indulgences applicable to oneself or to a holy soul in Purgatory can be gained by praying or singing in church: 1)The hymn Te Deum (Baronius p. 96) on 31st December in thanksgiving for the year past; 2) The hymn Veni Creator (Baronius p. 712) asking graces for the year starting.
In addition to performing the work (praying one of the two hymns above), the three usual conditions apply: 1) to be in the state of grace with no attachment to sin even venial, 2) reception of Holy Communion the same day, 3) to pray for the intentions of the Sovereign Pontiff. Please note that what is meant here is not the periodical intentions of the reigning pope published by the Holy See which one is welcome to pray at any time. For an indulgence, “intentions of the Sovereign Pontiff” means: the spiritual good of the whole Church, encompassing: the liberty and exaltation of the Catholic Church and the Apostolic See, the extirpation of heresies and the conversion of all who are in error, the concord of Christian Princes and the peace and unity of all the faithful.
Blessing of Epiphany Water on Thur 5th Jan: bring and drop by little organ before the 12:10pm Mass plastic containers filled with water and labelled to your name (to take home after) for the Blessing to begin right after 12:10pm Mass: lasting about from 1pm to 2pm.
Congratulations to Jack and Chelsey Rigby, a young couple who was received into the Church on 22 Dec after nearly a year of preparation.
Married one year, they are expecting their first child any day now.
Picture below: ritual blessing of an expecting mother.
Reminder: there is an ongoing stream of adults knocking at St Mary’s door to be instructed in the Catholic faith by our priests. If you know any, be sure to encourage them. Pray for the three adults ladies who have just started receiving instruction, and for more about to commit. Also pray for those received over the past year or more: that they may be deeply rooted in their Catholic identity, faith and practice.
Also, pray for four young adults who are having Marriage preparation to get married next summer, please God.
Thank you for your lovely cards, and generous gifts in cash and kind, and for your prayers. A very special thank you to all those who helped prepare this Christmas: church cleaners, singers and musicians, altar servers, flower arrangers and Christmas tree adorners, cooks, and more.
This past Christmas, St Mary’s Clergy offered 15 Holy Masses from midnight onward. You and your intentions were very much remembered at the altar.

However, if you are in a position to contribute personally or to alert benefactors on our needs, even though they don’t live in Warrington, please share our bank account details below with them this Advent and Christmas.
Thank you for helping us through the Offertory collection and standing orders. Should any parishioner be in serious financial difficulty, let them contact the Shrine clergy confidentially.

We were sent this slim but informative book offering timely distinctions within a complex question: https://osjustipress.com/…/does-traditionis-custodes…. A very useful read for anyone seeking clarity about the disputed status of the traditional Roman liturgy after “Traditionis Custodes”.
Priory Court Project: please pray for an important decision to be made shortly, please God.

FSSP Superior General visits Warrington clergy: For the first time since the Covid interruption, Fr Andrzej Komorowski, FSSP was able to visit the priests at St Mary’s Priory in Warrington, as part of a customary triennial visitation of our houses in Reading, Warrington and Edinburgh. The Superior General spent time with every priest to hear how they are doing in community life and in their ministry.
On a further occasion, a meeting with the parishioners will be planned, but there was not enough time this week before Fr Komorowski flew back for a Council meeting in Switzerland – before flying to our parish in Nigeria where he will spend Christmas under a much, much warmer climate than we had here this week.
Fr Komorowski knows well our part of the world, having served in England in 2008 (London and Bedford), and having stayed many times in Ireland. Please pray for him and for all superiors.
Welcome to our seminarians on holiday from 26th December. We hope to catch up with David in Warrington. Please pray for many more priests! Visit https://fssp.org.uk/about-the-confraternity/
Sick priest: Fr Krzysztof Sanetra, FSSP, who was ordained in our church with Fr Stewart on 17 June 2017 was diagnosed with severe lung infection and remained in hospital in a critical condition for several weeks. Thankfully he is cured and about to return to Canada to resume his priestly ministry there.

FSSP Clergy Gathering 21-23 Nov in Warrington:
The 10 FSSP priests from England, Scotland and Ireland gathered at St Mary’s Shrine last week for about three days of fraternal talks and prayer. A huge thank you to the ladies who generously cooked splendid meals for us.
Happy birthday Father!
Vocation Weekend: great success!
STANDING ROOM ONLY at the annual Vocation Discernment Weekend in Warrington last 25-27 Nov. 18 young men turned up (out of 20 booked), assisted by 4 priests and generous parishioners who cooked all the meals at Priory Court. Thanks to booklets especially printed for them, our guests were able to take part in sung Compline, Lauds and Vespers; as well as Low and Solemn High Masses and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament.
They attended 5 talks by the Shrine Rector on vocation in general, and life in the world vs life consecrated, Holy Mass and the priesthood.
Conviviality was an important aspect of the weekend, as well as silent prayer at the Shrine. All went for a walk with the priests on Saturday afternoon praying the Holy Rosary in the nearby Victoria Park, to the amazement of dog-walkers who had never seen 20 young men and clerics devoutly praying in public in the neighbourhood.
Shrine parishioners had been requested to pray for the visitors before and during the weekend, and were delighted to see so many young adults in the pews at Holy Mass.
Our heartfelt thanks to the ladies who prepared the many meals for the clergy and the laymen, and to the servers who made our private Masses and Solemn Vespers more prayerful. Please pray for these generous young men, that they might discern further with certainty the Holy Will of God on their precious souls.
Novena to Our Lady for Priory Court Project:Litany of Loreto after every public Mass from 30 Nov to 8 Dec inclusive. Please join in from home if you cannot attend. Start from now for 9 days if you read this after 30th Nov. Thank you.
Priory Court:Planning Permission was granted at last after a very long administrative delay. Sadly over the past two years, construction costs have risen so much as to make it difficult for us even to begin Phase One of the Conversion work, i.e. the Middle Floor Parish Hall all across the building, with lift. Please pray that our trustees might make the right decision shortly about this project which, by God’s grace, would equip us with much-needed space for our ministry.
Please pray for miracle benefactions!
SAVE MONEY easily: please keep all doors shut at St Mary’s Church and at Priory Court. With energy costs soaring, we as a community must make an effort not to waste heating in church and hall.
Please shut behind you the doors from Nave to Porch, Narthex, Lavatory, Cloister, Sacristy and of course, the doors from Porch and Cloister to outside.
Please do the same in Priory Court: the BLUE Front doors must be kept shut at all times when heating is on. Together, let us save money for better use.
Advent Donations: The overall Shrine income is diminishing. This is not surprising since our parishioners are affected by the economic difficulties. However, if you are in a position to contribute personally or to alert benefactors on our needs, even though they don’t live in Warrington, please share our bank account details below with them this Advent.
Should any parishioner be in serious financial difficulty, let them contact the Shrine clergy confidentially.
As usual, the Christmas collections in the FSSP are not retained by the clergy for personal use but applied to the ongoing expenses of the Shrine (which include Clergy expenses such as food, housing, private and transport allowance, retirement fund, health).
Thank you for helping us through the Offertory collection and standing orders. Support St Mary’s Shrine: send your donation via our Donate page: https://fssp.co.uk/donate/.

Please pray that our trustees might make the right decision shortly about this project which, by God’s grace, would equip us with much-needed space for our ministry.

HELPING HOLY SOULS: On All Souls, the four priests at St Mary’s offered 12 Holy Masses of Requiem. Globally though, the 355 priests of the FSSP worldwide offered over one thousand (1065 exactly) Holy Masses of Requiem within one day.
Reminder: plenary indulgence:
On All Souls’ Day (Nov. 2nd ) a plenary indulgence, applicable only to the Poor Souls in Purgatory, is granted to those who visit a Catholic church and there recite one Our Father and one Creed.
On all the days from November 1st through November 8th inclusive, a plenary indulgence, applicable only to the Poor Souls in Purgatory, is granted to those who visit a cemetery and pray even if only mentally for the departed. There must be one visit for each day one seeks to gain the indulgence; one visit will not apply for several days. Any public cemetery with Christian tombs will do. The nearest one is 5 minutes walk from St Mary’s: St Elphin’s, Church Street, WA1 2TL.
Conditions for both indulgences:
1. Only one plenary indulgence can be granted per day.
2. It is necessary to be in the state of grace, at least by completion of the work.
3. Freedom from attachment to sin, even venial sin, is necessary; otherwise the indulgence is only partial. (By this is meant attachment to a particular sin, not sin in general.)
4. Holy Communion must be received each time the indulgence is sought.
5. Prayers must be recited for the traditional intentions of the Holy Father on each day the indulgence is sought. No particular prayers are prescribed. One Our Father and one Hail Mary suffice, or other suitable prayers.
6. One must be absolved in confession the fortnight before or following.

Reminder on All Saints (1st Nov): “On Sundays and other holy days of obligation the faithful are bound to participate in the Mass.” (cf Catholic Code of Canon Law, 1247). A grave cause is needed to excuse from the obligation. In case of doubt, consult your priest in advance. Missing Holy Mass on those days without a grave cause is a mortal sin.
On All Souls’ Day (Nov. 2nd ) a plenary indulgence, applicable only to the Poor Souls in Purgatory, is granted to those who visit a Catholic church and there recite one Our Father and one Creed.
On all the days from November 1st through November 8th inclusive, a plenary indulgence, applicable only to the Poor Souls in Purgatory, is granted to those who visit a cemetery and pray even if only mentally for the departed.

CSP PRAYER: O Lord Jesus, born to give testimony to the Truth, Thou who lovest unto the end those whom Thou hast chosen, kindly hear our prayers for our pastors. Thou who knowest all things, knowest that they love Thee and can do all things in Thee who strengthenest them. Sanctify them in Truth. Pour into them, we beseech Thee, the Spirit whom Thou didst give to Thy apostles, who would make them, in all things, like unto Thee. Receive the homage of love which they offer up to Thee, who hast graciously received the threefold confession of Peter. And so that a pure oblation may everywhere be offered without ceasing unto the Most Holy Trinity, graciously enrich their number and keep them in Thy love, who art one with the Father and the Holy Ghost, to whom be glory and honour forever. Amen.

LATIN FOR BEGINNERS:
By our parishioner Sam Barry:
This course lays the foundation for reading and understanding simple Latin prose enabling the student to participate more fully in the Church’s liturgies. This course utilizes the natural method for learning Latin like any other modern language.
There will be two classes: 1 for beginners and one for intermediates(i.e. those who I taught last term).
The cost is £10 per class for one hour and the time is from 3 p.m. to 5.p.m. on Saturdays.
Pray for: Anne Drury,Deryck Sankey, Ray Cilia, James H., Tim Wright, Michael Leacy, Wendy Moss, Bill Conder, Greta Doyle, Dorothea Wallace, M. Hawley; Theresa Reynard, Hilda Creagan. RIP: Ann Evans, Michael Whelan; John Marechal.
