Please find above the Online form to complete if you’re planning to attend the reception into church or the funeral for Father Paul ### this is in conjunction with the sheet in the porch so you don’t need to fill in both.
I will attach the link also in the comments just incase it doesn’t work.

Please do not enter details if you have completed the paper form in St Ambrose Barlow Church

It is with great sadness we announce the passing of our parish priest Father Paul.
All of our thoughts and prayers are with his Mum, sister and niece.
May he rest in peace 🙏🏻

Ah. No matter how many years I’m ordained, opening the new Paschal Candle is always a highlight of the year. And every year I wish that I was braver and went for something more impressive. And every year it’s joyous. Loving Lent but so excited for Easter. 🥳

New window on the world. We will need a willing gardener. Any takers?

Not quite the view across my pond this morning but still a spectacular morning for an early Mass at 7.30am. See you there and Happy Lent to all. 😀

Prayer for Pope Francis:

O God, shepherd and ruler of all the faithful,
look favorably on your servant Francis,
whom you have set at the head of your Church as her shepherd;
grant, we pray, that by word and example
he may be of service to those over whom he presides
so that, together with the flock entrusted to his care,
he may come to everlasting life.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Happy St David’s Day. Delighted we have our new St David’s Store Room. Cannot wait to have the Canon John Gunn Room in the next month or two. ❤️

Please do keep His Holiness in your prayers this evening. 🙏

Pope Francis, 88, has been in Rome's Gemelli hospital since Friday for bronchitis treatment. Despite his illness, the Vatican said he "read and worked" on Monday.
