Corpus Christi (7th June 2026)

06/06/2026

Notices 07.06.26
This evening, Sunday 7th June, at 6:00pm, there will be a mass of the Holy House of Walsingham with Healing Liturgies at St Mark’s

The midweek services in the benefice this week will be as follows:

Tuesday 9th June
St Mark’s Mass 7:00pm

Wednesday 10th June
St Gabriel’s Eucharist 10:30am

Thursday 11th June
St Gabriel’s School Collective Worship 9:15am

St Mark’s Mass 11:00am

Friday 12th June
St Gabriel’s Funeral 1:00pm

At 2:00pm on Sunday 28th June, Fr Alex will be ordained to the sacred priesthood. We are planning to arrange a coach for those who would like to be at the cathedral to support Fr Alex on this special day in his ministry, and there is now a sign-up sheet for this in both churches.
As Fr Stephen will have to be at the cathedral well before the 2:00pm start time, and to avoid people from St Mark’s having to wait around for the coach, or go home and return, there will be only one service in the benefice that day which will be a Mass at St Mark’s at 10:30am.

At 10:00am on Sunday 6th September a Confirmation Service will take place at St James, Barry Street in Oldham. Would anyone who would like to be Confirmed at this service please see Fr Stephen or Fr Alex.

The deposits for the Benefice Pilgrimage to Walsingham have now been paid but the sign-up sheet for the pilgrimage is still at the back of church. If you’d like to join the pilgrimage but have not yet put your name on the list, please do so ASAP and let Fr Stephen have your £40 non-refundable deposit. We may be able to book additional places on the pilgrimage but the sooner we ask for these the more likely they are to be available.
