Reminders:
Thursday is the Feast of the Ascension of The Lord - a Holyday of Obligation. Masses will be 9.30am (with the children from school), 12noon and 7.00pm. Please note there will be confessions at 11.30-11.50am but No Exposition.

The next 2 Saturdays (the 16th and 23rd May) the children who have been duly prepared will be receiving their First Holy Communions at the 12noon Mass. Please note that there will be no 11.30am Confessions on either of these Saturdays, but there will be Confessions at 5.30pm. Please pray for these children and their families as they receive this most precious gift and pray they will treasure this and always treat the Eucharist with respect.

Reminder: This Monday Mass is at 11.00am, which is our annual Mass to pray for the repose of all those whose mortal remains have been interred into Blackley Cemetery. After the Mass, the priests will be going to Blackley Cemetery to visit the graves of any relatives and friends you would like them to bless.
Please note there will be no 12noon Mass or Church cleaning this Monday.

Thank you to those who attended the meeting last week to discuss fund raising ideas for the Restoration Fund. More details of events that will be organised will be given in the near future.

Together let us unite as a global church in prayer for the Dignity of Human Life.

Pope Leo will hold a Holy Hour at 5:30PM (Rome time) tomorrow on Sunday 19 April, with many parishes holding their own Holy Hours at the same time: 4:30PM (UK time).

Let us pray especially that every human life, at every stage, may be protected and defended.

Consider making a commitment tomorrow: to switch off distractions, set aside one hour, and be present - physically if possible, or spiritually if not - to join in this Holy Hour.

May our prayer become reparation, intercession, and renewed courage to defend the dignity of every person.
