Many thanks to all who helped and supported the Strawberry Fair last week (and who thus avoided the pain of the World Cup).

A wonderful total of £2162.25 was raised.

Many thanks.

The Diocesan Pilgrimage to Lourdes

Posted by webmaster on May 21, 2010 in Big Days | 0 comments

On Friday the 57th Diocesan Pilgrimage sets off for Lourdes: the prayer intentions for the Pilgrimage are;

• that the Church may be an instrument of wisdom and a beacon of light in our World;
  for sick pilgrims in Lourdes and all our sick that they may unite their sickness to the sufferings of Christ for the salvation of the World;
• that as Christians we may grow together and become more effective in spreading the Gospel;
• that our young people may respond generously this week to the needs of others and be better witnesses to the presence and action of Christ in their lives;
• that those discerning their vocation in life may see more clearly the opportunities for a life of joy and service with God and the Church as priests, deacons and religious;
• that we may see the path that God has chosen for us in life and have the strength to follow him faithfully until death.
