All must dress modestly in church out of reverence for God and of respect for fellow-worshippers. Chest and limbs must be covered down to elbows and knees at least. No sportswear. Sunday best should be worn by all on Sundays and feasts: suit and tie for men and boys, dresses for ladies. Men keep their heads uncovered within church; women are encouraged to wear a scarf, hat or mantilla. Kindly switch OFF your mobile phone before you enter our church.

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.

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.

Welcome to Fr Gerard Quirke from the Archdiocese of Tuam in Ireland, currently a guest at St Mary’s Presbytery.

500 weekly visits to St Mary’s Shrine Church: half on weekdays and half on Sundays.

Roof leaking: Thank you for the money raised via the raffle hamper. No roofer could be booked yet to mend the roof: please pray for solution.

Following the further restrictions announced by the Holy See, let us pray with deep faith for the traditional Roman liturgy to be preserved. This includes the welfare of the priestly and religious communities that offer it, in particular the Priestly Fraternity of St Peter whose Constitutions were definitively approved by the Holy See (cf https://www.fssp.org/en/decree-of-the-ecclesia-dei-commission-on-the-liturgical-books-of-1962/) and praised by Pope Francis through his papal nuncio on our 25^th anniversary (cf https://www.fssp.org/en/blessing-of-pope-francis-on-the-occasion-of-the-25th-anniversary-of-the-fssp/). Read further on this here: https://rorate-caeli.blogspot.com/2021/12/important-declaration-of-superior-of.html. We will offer Holy Mass monthly to this intention, starting last 9^th January.

Trusting in Our Lady’s protection in our present difficulties:

“The Fraternity is also under the protection of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of the Priest par excellence, and thus of each priest. She forms all priests in the image of her Son. She leads them to discover the profound motives for their celibacy, a condition for the blossoming of their priesthood” (cf. FSSP Constitutions, #4).

Solemn consecration of the Priestly Fraternity of St Peter to the Immaculate Heart of Mary following a novena of preparation from February 2^nd to 11^th. The solemn consecration is planned for February 11^th, the feast of the apparitions of Our Lady at Lourdes.

Thank you for helping us through the Offertory collection and standing orders. While the overall income is still far from covering the actual expenses of the Shrine, it is comforting to see how generously you respond. God bless you all.
