Fr Peter

I have heard a number of different stories circulating in and beyond the parish. The position is that Father Peter is having a couple of weeks holiday. (We all get exhausted from time to time and need a holiday to re-charge our batteries.) All weekend Masses are covered as normal. The week day Masses will be covered by Father Chris whenever possible so there should be little or no change. Baptism or funeral services will be covered by either myself, Father Chris or one of our LPA team of priests as appropriate. Deacon Paul

Parish Questionnaire

Many thanks to all parishioners for the excellent response to the questionnaire you were asked to complete last week. There have been many offers of help and expressions of interest in various parish activities. If you have offered to help with a parish ministry your name will be passed on to the organiser for that group and you should be contacted in due course. The parish support group will now begin to plan events to start in the autumn. Watch this space! Questionnaires are still available at the back of church if you were not here last week.

Confirmation

There are some forms at the back of church for those seeking to offer themselves for Confirmation this year. Please return the completed forms to Fr. Peter, or to the four parishes office.

The next meeting will be on Thursday 7th. August . It will consist of a Treasure Hunt and a private tour of Chester Cathedral, followed by a visit to McDonalds. Please meet at Chester Town Hall at 5.45pm and bring £2. as a donation to Cathedral, and money for McDonalds.
