March For Life, 6th September
2025
Join March for Life UK on Saturday 6th
September in London. The right to life
underpins every other right we have and
without it every other right is rendered
meaningless. Abortion denies the most
vulnerable in our society of their most
basic right which is why this year's theme
is "Human Rights For All Humans." Unite
with thousands of others at this family
friendly event where we recognise the
value of life from conception and stand
up for all those who have been impacted
by abortion. Find out more at
https://www.marchforlife.co.uk/ or email

Why not sign a “Gift Aid” Form?
If you are a tax payer do, please, sign a
“gift-aid” form. This takes only a few
moments to do, it costs you nothing, but
greatly enhances the value of what you
give by allowing the parish to claim back
the tax on your donation. Just see the
priest or parish secretary if interested.
And another reminder please do use your
offertory envelopes for your giving!!
This years Gift Aid donations added
£5,484.77
Quietness (Reverence) in
Church
Be silent, be thoughtful, and be
reverent, for this is the house of the
Lord. Before Mass speak to God.
During Mass let God speak to you.
After Mass speak to one another, but
quietly, without disturbing those who
are at prayer – ideally in the porch.

Jubilee of Social Justice
Saturday 20th September, Liverpool
Met Cathedral – Mass 12 noon – See
Notice in porch.
The Jubilee Prayer
Father in heaven,
may the faith you have given us
in your son, Jesus Christ, our brother,
and the flame of charity enkindled
in our hearts by the Holy Spirit,
reawaken in us the blessed hope
for the coming of your Kingdom.
May your grace transform us
into tireless cultivators of the seeds of
the Gospel.
May those seeds transform from within
both humanity and the whole cosmos
in the sure expectation
of a new heaven and a new earth,
when, with the powers of Evil
vanquished,
your glory will shine eternally.
May the grace of the Jubilee
reawaken in us, Pilgrims of Hope,
a yearning for the treasures of heaven.
May that same grace spread
the joy and peace of our Redeemer
throughout the earth.
To you our God, eternally blessed,
be glory and praise for ever.
Amen

For our relationship with all of

with all creatures who are loved by God
and worthy of love and respect.
Let Us Pray For The Sick of the Parish
Dear Jesus, divine physician and healer of
the sick, we turn to you in this time of

grace and strength to accept this burden.
Dear God, we place our worries in your
hands. Amen.
