Dear brothers and sisters,
In September (2nd – 6th) this year I am renewing the annual Diocesan Pilgrimage to Walsingham, the National Shrine to Our Blessed Lady. I invite you to join me! This will be the first pilgrimage since the Pandemic, and we have so much to pray for, so much to give thanks for. Some of you are familiar with Walsingham. For others it will be your first visit.
In the Middle Ages the Shrine was one of the great ancient Marian places of pilgrimage in the whole of Christendom. It is known as England’s very own Nazareth and is a place where the incarnation of Jesus is particularly remembered. Therefore, for the modern pilgrim, it is a place for all who would rejoice with Mary at ‘the great joy of the Annunciation.’ Like Lourdes in France, it is a place of reconciliation, conversion, peace and healing.
Dependent on accommodation type the all-inclusive cost is no more than £500.00 per person. Coach collection/drop off will take place in Workington, Carlisle, Penrith, Lancaster and Preston. For more information and booking details contact the pilgrimage organiser Deacon Charlie Conner on 07895 742 732 or email charlie.conner@lrdc.org.uk. Posters for your notice boards will be posted out to you this week.
The places will be limited, so please book in good time.
With my blessing
+ Paul

"Care for our Common Home.” At the moment the blister packs that are used for many tablets/pills cannot be recycled in the general recycling. However, Superdrug stores are offering to recycle them. All their stores and pharmacies are participating. Please bring your empty blister packs and leave them in the box at the back of church and Pat Loughran will take them to Superdrug. It can be one way of our parish working towards making the world a better place for our children and grandchildren.
Thank you for your continued support in bringing empty pill blister packs to Church. It is our small effort in saving the planet. Also Boots stores will recycle empty beauty, healthcare and wellness containers that cannot be put in council recycling bins. This also includes travel mini containers, mascaras, makeup palettes, lipsticks, toothpaste tubes and lotion pumps. At the Boots on Deepdale Retail Park the recycling box is by the tills near the front door.
