LOURDES INTENTIONS

Next Monday 28th July our LPA Lourdes Group depart. During the time in Lourdes our Youth Group will carry a large candle to the Grotto where it will be blessed and prayers will be offered for the intentions of all members of our parishes and schools. If you have any special intentions that you wish to be placed and remembered at the grotto please leave them in any of our sacristies where they will be collected prior to our departure.

WORLD YOUTH DAY

Sunday 20th July
Today many thousands of young people from across the world are gathering in Australia with the Holy Father.

A Mass will be celebrated by the Pope with a focus on the ‘Calling and ministry’ of young people in the modern church.

In line with this, Bishop Brian will celebrate Mass at 11am at Chester Catholic High School, he will be joined by youth and young adults from across the diocese. A group of young people from our own LPA will join Bishop Brian for this Mass.

On this World Youth Day, please remember in your prayers our own youth and those involved in this important ministry.
This is also a good time to reflect on our own ‘Calling’ and perhaps consider being involved in the ministry for children and young people across our parishes.

SCHOOLS

To all pupils, staff and parents have a happy and restful summer break. To those staff retiring or moving on we wish you well for the future. To those pupils moving on to University or employment all the best. To those starting in our new school – St Saviour’s Primary may you continue to grow in strength. We also wish Mr Andrew Moore, the new head of St Bernard’s good fortune in his new appointment. Good wishes also to Mr John Gilbert, Temporary Head of St Saviour’s Primary.
