MANCHESTER AND SALFORD ECUMENICAL WHIT WALK
The annual Manchester and Salford Ecumenical Whit Walk is set to return for another year of prayerful celebration.

DEANERY RECONCILIATION SERVICE
The last in our series of Deanery “stations” through Lent takes places this coming Tuesday 19th March at Saint Joseph’s Church, Mary Street, Heywood, OL10 1EG. It is a “Reconciliation Service”, led by our Bishop John, at which individual confessions will be available courtesy of our Deanery priests: after an introduction and scripture passage, the Bishop will lead us in reflection and examination of conscience, after which priests will be available in Church for individual confession and absolution. At the end we will gather again for thanksgiving for forgiveness. This is an ideal opportunity to go to confession before Easter, in a safe and encouraging environment, with the option of celebrating with a priest other than your own parish priest! Everyone is very welcome.
MASS OF SACRED CHRISM
We have three tickets for any parishioners who would like to go. St Patrick’s Church, Collyhurst on Wednesday 27th March at 11.00a.m.
DIOCESAN PILGRIMAGE TO LOURDES IN OUR CENTENARY YEAR
The pilgrimage, led by Bishop John Arnold, will take place between 26th July and 1st August. Find out more and book online >
MASS INTENTIONS
Please be aware that the names of the sick or housebound cannot be included in the parish newsletter (unless we have the express consent of the sick or housebound person) as the bulletin is posted on the parish website – therefore making that information available to the public at large. It is often the case that families contact the parish office and politely request that the privacy of the sick or housebound person is respected.
