YouTube A total of 350 people viewed Mass last weekend on Youtube at rcchurchesashton, and a further 250 viewed the recording of the 1st Friday and 1st Saturday devotions, so I hope that was a source of great consolation to those of you who did so.

The number of subscribers is steadily increasing (albeit sometimes at a snail’s pace) and has reached a total of 414. This is up 73 on last week, but is still not half the numbers we need for livestreaming Mass, so please keep encouraging anyone you know to subscribe who hasn’t already done so. This week a recording of the Novena to Our Lady of Perpetual Succour has been made which can be viewed from Wednesday of this week. A copy of the Novena Service is attached to enable you to follow it.

Feast of Our Lady of Fatima Friday of this week is the Feast of Our Lady of Fatima, the date of the 1st of the apparitions of Our Lady to the three shepherd children. For those not familiar with the story of the apparitions, a short(-ish) history is attached with this week’s newsletter, and I particularly commend to you the two prayers taught the children by the angel: ‘My God, I believe in Thee, I adore Thee, I hope in Thee and I love Thee. I ask pardon for all those who do not believe in Thee, do not adore Thee, do not hope in Thee and do not love Thee.’ and conscious of the indifference which is often shown towards the Blessed Sacrament: ‘Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, I adore you profoundly, and I offer you the most precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Our Lord Jesus Christ present in all the tabernacles of the world, in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges and indifference by which He is offended, and by the infinite merits of His Most Sacred Heart, and through the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg of you the conversion of poor sinners.’ .

  • 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.

Allow me to share some thoughts on this year’s pilgrimage, both for those who are able to physically travel there and everyone who will remain at home in the Diocese. If you went home from Lourdes and didn’t want to tell people about it, then I would have to wonder what you were doing there in the first place! While it is not always easy to explain to others what happened to us in Lourdes, precisely what we saw and experienced in Lourdes, what we witnessed in Lourdes, the joy and the intensity of our time there overflows and pours out of us and others can see that it was a genuine and unique moment in our lives.

  • Turnham, Margaret H. (2012) Roman Catholic Revivalism
    Roman Catholic Revivalism: A study of the area that became the Diocese of Middlesbrough 1779-1992 Margaret H. Turnham, B.Ed., M.Th. Thesis submitted to the University of Nottingham for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. July 2012 i Abstract This thesis seeks to provide a grassroots study of the diocese of Middlesbrough (1779-1992), in order to contribute to the history of the English Catholic community since it emerged from the Penal Times. Secondly, it is an examination of the manifestation of revivalism and renewal in Catholic devotional practice. The geographical extent of the study covers an area of Yorkshire with a strong recusant history, and that period has been well-served in Catholic historiography. However, writing on the period following the easing of the Penal Laws on Catholics and into the nineteenth and twentieth centuries is remarkable for the paucity of references to the diocese and the area that it covers. Therefore this study sheds light upon a particular Catholic community that has been largely invisible to historians. Although the Catholic community itself might appear to be invisible, the devotional practice within it offers many insights, such as the extent to which the social culture influenced the practice of faith. Therefore it teases out and examines the changing nature of devotional practice, and compares it to aspects of Evangelical revivalism that provided the surrounding religious culture. It also examines the influences that came to bear upon the community itself, assessing their importance in the revival and renewal of faith of the people within it. By examining the history of Catholic devotional practice in this area of Yorkshire, it comes to the conclusion that revivalism and renewal are integral elements in Catholic devotion and as a result Catholics and Evangelicals have more in common with each other than their adherents have been ready to acknowledge.
