Spiritual Communion

My Jesus, I believe that you are present in this Holy Sacrament of the altar. I love you above all things and I passionately desire to receive you into my soul. Since I cannot now receive you sacramentally, come into my soul so that I may unite myself wholly to you now and forever. Amen

Sacrament of Reconciliation

A Perfect Act of Contrition – My God, I am sorry for my sins with all my heart. In choosing to
do wrong and failing to do good, I have sinned against you whom I should love above all
things. I firmly intend, with your help, to do penance, to sin no more, and to avoid whatever leads me to sin. Our Saviour Jesus Christ suffered and died for us. In his name, my God, have mercy. Amen
Bishops of England and Wales

Research Survey of the Catholic Community

Research Survey of the Catholic Community under/post COVID-19.

In partnership with Catholic Voices, Professor Francis Davis at the University of Birmingham, Professor Leslie Francis of the University of Warwick and Professor Andrew Village of York St John University, are currently undertaking a major survey of UK Christian responses to the present crisis and its potential impact on the future perspectives of UK Christians.

This survey is intended to capture specifically Catholic experience and help us understand it better. It takes the form of an online questionnaire.

To assist with their research please follow the link at https://tinyurl.com/y6vvn3hh

Parish Working Day

It was terrific! Twenty two parishioners and even a chap called Jacob, from St Mary’s Halifax, turned up to work their way through the jobs identified on the clip boards. All the work was completed and even a few extra bits and pieces and we still got home early afternoon. It was a magnificent response, the atmosphere was really good and the Church, hall and grounds look great. Thank you so much to those who responded to the call. Well done everyone.

 A big thank you to Cath and Keith for organising the day. They are marvellous.          

Sacrament of Confirmation

Bishop Marcus celebrated Mass at Sacred Heart and St Patrick’s Church during which the candidates from the Deanery were confirmed. The Church was packed, the singing was beautiful and the service was spiritual and memorable. Congratulations to all those who received the Holy Spirit especially Patrick Lynch from our parish.

COVID-19 – Catholic Care

Lockdown is continuing for our safety but isolation is difficult for many. In response to the impact of COVID-19 Catholic Care have launched a Community Response Service to support those in our Catholic communities who are sick, selfisolating, have been adversely financially impacted or are finding it difficult to cope. The service will be available Monday – Friday 8am to 6pm. A team of Catholic Care workers will be available to support parishioners and families in a number of ways. Please contact on 07739975001 or 07739975008 or 07739975009 or email janet.kent@catholiccare.org.uk or Jessica.price@catholic-care.org.uk if you would like to access this service or would like to refer a person in the Parish

Becoming a Dementia Friendly Parish

Message from Rachel Walker from Growing Old Grace-fully.

Representatives from five parishes came to the Dementia Friends session yesterday evening at St Theresa of the Child Jesus in Queensbury.  That means that at least 10 parishes in our Diocese have started the process of becoming a dementia friendly one.

Thank you to everyone from St Theresa’s, St Bernard’s, St Columba’s, St Malachy’s and St Mary’s who attended ‘Becoming a Dementia Friendly Parish’ session on Wednesday 25th October.   Growing Old Grace-fully was given such a warm welcome and 16 people each became a Dementia Friend.

We need to share the wonderful work that shows the love of God in action happening in our parishes across our Diocese and beyond.

Thank you again to all who attended, to Christine in particular for arranging the session and to everyone at St Theresa’s for such a warm welcome.

Rachel Walker
