June is dedicated to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Well done all those who attended holy Mass on the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart last Friday and gained a plenary indulgence for the holy souls in Purgatory though the public recitation of the Act of Reparation to the Sacred Heart (Baronius p. 1871).
After visiting the Ibabu, the Jones, the Carey, the Hallam, the Baron and the Moxham families, Our Lady of Walsingham will this Sunday accompany the Dugdale family home. We thank them for including the intentions of our two congregations in their daily recitation of the litany of Loreto before the statue. Book your week on the sign-up sheet after holy Mass this Sunday.

In the Footsteps
of the Great Saintly Priests
Reflections on St John Fisher, St John Vianney and St Padre Pio
Clergy Retreat 14-18 Oct 24, in Stonyhurst:
Web: https://christianheritagecentre.com/events/in-the-footsteps-of-the-great-saintly-priests/
Preached by Fr Armand de Malleray, FSSP
“The priest is not a priest for himself; he does not give himself absolution; he does not administer the Sacraments to himself. He is not for himself, he is for you… where there is no longer any priest there is no sacrifice, and where there is no longer any sacrifice there is no religion.” (Saint John Vianney)
The saints offer models and examplars of holiness for every walk of life: a particularly worthy focus during this Year of Prayer.
This retreat will pick out some of the great priest saints of Europe – St John Fisher, St John Vianney and St Pio of Pietrelcina – to offer a reflection on the character and ministry of the priestly life.St John Fisher stands as a reformation-era St John the Baptist, most recognised for his objection to King Henry VIII’s divorce of Catherine of Aragon and for his subsequent refusal to acknowledge Anne Boleyn’s daughter as heir to the throne. A cameo ring depicting Aristotle, which belonged to John Fisher, is held at Stonyhurst, having been presented to the College by relatives of Fisher in the 19th century.
The ring will be loaned for the retreat by the College to the CHC, in order to accompany the clergy during this time of prayer.
St John Vianney also experienced the turmoil and upheaval of religious life brought about in his own country, by the French Revolution. Known for his tirelessness in reconciling people to God, he is rightly upheld as a model of a curator of souls.
St Pio of Pietrelcina is widely known for the gifts he received of the stigmata and of spiritual insight, and his profound piety and charity.
