Priory Court: please continue to pray and tell others about our needs. Thank you!

We need £0.5M given us to complete the full scheme, but we need most urgently at least £200,000.00 to complete Phases 1 & 2 (Ground Floor and First Floor). Please ask the Venerable Elizabeth Prout for miracle donations! Also, do share our needs with your contacts. Previously, large donations came from people who did not know us personally, but only through friends. Our Lady helped us in the past. Let us ask Her again.

Hence, from 5 to 13 June included: “FOR COMPLETION OF PRIORY COURT” :

1. SPECIAL NOVENA OF MASSES ;
2. In addition, the Rector requests that ALL HOLY ROSARIES prayed at St Mary’s during the novena be prayed for the completion of the work at Priory Court ;
3. Also, that as much as possible all HOLY COMMUNIONS be offered for the same intentions.

We still anticipate that the new space will be accessible, even though not finished, for the blessing by Archbishop McMahon on 24^th June, 4pm.

I want to support the PRIORY CAMPAIGN in Warrington.

Therefore I donate:

£25 □         £50 □         £100 □       £500 □        £1,000 □       £2,000 □       Other £………..

To donate,

1. please use bank transfer (specifying Priory Campaign); or a cheque payable to ‘FSSP ENGLAND’
2. Are you a taxpayer? Help us maximise your donation through Gift Aid

(ask us for a form: warrington@fssp.org).

Thank you to all those who contributed to the success of the annual Warrington Corpus Christi procession in which at least 150 persons from St Mary’s took part. We thank Canon Cunningham for welcoming all worshippers at St Alban’s as on previous years. Watch the great video here. Send Kelly Williams your best pictures.

Silver reliquaries now enrich the altar. Purchased in Walsingham following our Shrine pilgrimage last month, their shape echoes that of the remaining arch of the destroyed priory in Walsingham. They contain the relics of Sts Philip Neri, John Henry Newman, Gemma Galgani and Bd Pier Giorgio Frassati. May the saints intercede for us to restore our own PRIORY (Court), and for our community.
