The St Patrick’s Priest visiting our parish will be Father John Garry. Fr John is from Ireland and celebrated his golden jubilee as a priest last year. He has worked in Kenya, Uganda, South Sudan and now in the UK. The Society was founded to support the missionary work of proclaiming the Good News in Nigeria where the people responded with unimaginable enthusiasm. In the Nigerian mission, they were accompanied by lay and religious partners who made medicine and education an integral part of their mission approach to the local church. The Number of students to join St. Patrick’s increased quickly and Rome asked the St Patrick’s Society to take up missions in Kenya and later in Brazil. Propelled by the spirit of our motto ‘Caritas Christi Urget Nos’ (The love of Christ urges us on: 2 Cor 5:14); The Society now has missionaries in Nigeria, Kenya, Malawi, Zambia, South Sudan, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Brazil and Grenada. There will be a second collection next weekend. Thank you. http://www.kilteganfathers.org Lent Talks in Local Missionary Area 9 (LMA9). The 20th Century Church & Theology.

  • Shrewsbury Catholic Cathedral: Access Awarded £281,000 in March 2015 Towards a £380,000 Project
    Shrewsbury Catholic Cathedral: Access Awarded £281,000 in March 2015 towards a £380,000 project The need There was a long-standing problem of unsafe access to the cathedral’s main entrance. The stairs were too steep and therefore rarely used for fear of injury or accident, and there was no provision for wheelchair users. Outcomes The cathedral is now accessible to all, safer for the public and much more inviting to visitors and worshippers. The area will not need further work apart from routine maintenance for a long time. New entrance to Shrewsbury Cathedral. Photo credit: Arrol and Snell Architects. Economic and social impact The project supported local metal workers and stonemasons and two apprentices were employed. Those working on the project were challenged and extended their skills in specialist labour techniques. The number of visitors to the cathedral has increased from 6,000 per year to 2,000 to 3,000 per month since the project was completed and a team of stewards has been recruited to welcome them. The cathedral has also set up a café and restaurant for visitors making it more of an attraction, and is now used for large Diocesan events. The public are increasingly using the new external porch space, which incorporates a war memorial shrine: people passing who would not necessarily go into the cathedral will now stop at the shrine and can readily get to it. Works completed and timescale The project involved dismantling the side walls of the central porch to allow construction of new steps and a platform lift.

  • St Mary's & St Paul's Newsletter
    ST MARY’S & ST PAUL’S NEWSLETTER The R.C. Diocese of Shrewsbury is a registered charity Parish Priest: Father Oliver O’Doherty 29 Zetland St, Dukinfield, Cheshire SK16 4EJ Website: stmaryandstpaul.org.uk Email: [email protected] Telephone: 0161 330 2424 4th Sunday of Easter 3rd May 2020 THEME: The good shepherd, who gave his life for us, is risen. Just as the good shepherd leads and cares for his sheep, and is prepared to die to keep them safe, so Christ leads and cares for us, even to the extent of dying for us. Although we have wandered off, he draws us back, by paying off our debts for us, so that we may live in the joy of his peace. SCRIPTURE PASSAGE. John 10:1-10 Anyone who has walked behind sheep will realise what Jesus meant when he talked so often of humans as sheep. They scuttle out of immediate danger and immediately start eating, as if nothing had happened. Seconds later they see danger catching up with them again so there is another short-lived scuttle, as they follow each other however foolishly they are led. Hence the need for a trustworthy shepherd, for sheep are woefully in need of a responsible leader. The shepherds in Israel always lead, rather than drive, the sheep as in Britain. Some of them posing as the good shepherd can be very convincing, so that we sheep are sometimes coaxed into trusting them. CONFIRMATIONS & VISITATIONS 2020: Bishop Mark has informed the clergy that due to the uncertainty of the duration of public health restrictions, he has decided to cancel his programme of parish/schools visitation and confirmations during the summer, autumn and possibly the winter months.
