Tomorrow is our Covenant Mass celebration and you are invited. Deepening our Covenant of Love means to see one another in our greatness. Pope Francis says in his letter on the joy of love in the family: The love of friendship is called “charity” when it perceives and esteems the “great worth” of another person. Beauty – that “great worth” which is other than physical or psychological appeal – enables us to appreciate the sacredness of a person, without feeling the need to possess it. In a consumerist society, the sense of beauty is impoverished and so joy fades.

Our Joy is knowing we belong to the family of God and help built a home in which love is at the heart. Please come along and join us for Mass at 7.30pm on Thursday 18th May at 7.30pm. Please bring donations for our food bank.

It is with deepest regret and sadness that I have to report the sudden and unexpected death of Dennis Shevlan (RIP). After a brief illness Dennis died in Bolton Royal (ICU) on Easter Sunday Morning. Kath and all their family could be with him. Please remember Dennis in your prayers and pray for Kath and their family at this terrible loss. Dennis may you rest in peace and this day rise with the Lord in glory.
