Thy Kingdom Come is a global ecumenical prayer movement that takes place every year between Ascension and Pentecost. During these 9 days we pray for 5 people we know that do not already know the love of Jesus. Our hope is that as we pray them, they will also experience the life-changing love of God and choose to follow Him.

Who will you be praying for? 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Last week we welcomed our brothers and sisters from Lancaster Cathedral to celebrate a memorial Mass for Ann Fenwick who is buried here in St Wilfrid's. The evening was an especially joyous one and we would like to thank Fr John and all at the cathedral for organising this and for the chance to worship together in fellowship.

We would also like to thank the Cathedral for allowing us the use of their photographs of the occasion and will be posting more once available.
