The Holy Face of Jesus - and Ash Wednesday

 I am celebrating Mass for the Feast of the Holy Face of Jesus, 

which falls on Shrove Tuesday.  

There will be Low Mass at 12 noon. 

Not such a well-known devotion in this day and age but obviously an ancient one, 

as Veronica's veil was kept intact from the time of Our Lord's Passion. 

St Therese of Lisieux was a great devotee.

This week also sees the start of Lent 

and there will be Mass (OF) with the 

Distribution of Ashes 

at 

9.30am and at 7pm.

Stations of the Cross each Thursday at 7pm.

May the most holy, most sacred, most adorable,

 most incomprehensible and unutterable Name of God 

be always praised,

 blessed, loved, adored and glorified, 

in Heaven, on earth, and under the earth.

Watch daily Mass live

I've been meaning to post this for a while. The Fathers at St Mary's, Warrington now have a link on their website to watch Mass each day from the Shrine. I know of a number of housebound parishioners especially that might find this very useful.

Just go to their website and click on the link form the main page.

Burns' Night Supper

We are planning to celebrate Burns’ Night  - for practical reasons, a little after the actual date -

ours will take place on Friday 2nd March

starting at 7.30pm. 

This has been an excellent evening over past years with all the traditional Scottish ceremony and traditions associated with the evening - though you don’t need to be Scots to come along!  

Tickets are just £25 per head 

which is terrific value considering all you get.

The event is to raise Charitable Funds, 

so come along and support it whilst having a great evening’s fun.
