CHRISTMAS TREE RECYCLING
Our Laudato Si’ Centre is once again joining forces with a Christmas Tree recycling project in a bid to care for community and common home. The project raises funds for local charities by collecting used Christmas Trees, while chippings from the trees will be repurposed across the Laudato Si’ Centre: Find out more >
FEAST OF THE EPIPHANY
The Feast of the Epiphany celebrates the moment when Christ is revealed to the world. Guided by the star, the Magi set out in faith, and in the Christ Child they discovered a light meant for all nations. Epiphany reminds us that we too are called to seek the Lord, to recognise his presence in our lives, and to reflect his light through our words and actions. May this feast strengthen our faith and renew our desire to follow Christ with trust and generosity.

He was passionate about spreading the teachings of the Catholic Church up until his death from leukaemia at the age of 15.
The relics will be presented at St. Mary’s Church, Burnley, from 28th to 29th January, before they travel to St. Patrick’s Church, Collyhurst, from 30th January to 1st February 2026.
More information will be shared soon with parishes and on the Diocesan website and social media channels.
