From the Archdiocese website -

A diary of events can now be found on the Archdiocese website and this will help keep us all up to date with what is happening in the Archdiocese.

Beginning Thursday February 23rd the Archbishop will be travelling around the Deaneries during the 40 days of Lent to conduct a series of Station Masses as a communal Lenten exercise for priests and people in the area. More details will be made available nearer the date but in the meantime you can view this information on the website at www.rcadc.co.uk

Please note that there will be NO weekday Masses this week, however there will be Eucharistic Services instead and details of days / times can be found on the “contacts” page at the top of the page.

Church cleaning will take place on Wednesday after Mass, please join us as “many hands make light work”….

The food bank is a very worthy cause and can help numerous local people. A request has been given for LONG LIFE MILK. Can anyone help? The drop off box can be found in the Church hall.

Please remember in your prayers the sick of the parish, at home or in hospital.

We also remember those whose anniversaries occur at this time.

Please also pray for the happy repose of the soul of Ann-Marie Impey (nee Worthington) who passed away suddenly yesterday. Ann-Marie was a former pupil of All Saint’s and Bishop Hedley schools.

The diocesan website is undergoing a “facelift” and everyone is being asked to participate in a 4 question survey which will hopefully give them some idea about what kind of site we would like.

As mentioned earlier the questionaire consists of 4 questions and will literally take a few minutes of your time.

Many thanks in advance.
