Today is ‘Sea Sunday’, when the Church prays for all those who live and work at sea. Without them we would not have access to most of the items we buy in the shops. Today’s second collection is for STELLA MARIS (Apostleship of the Sea), the Church’s official maritime welfare agency. It supports seafarers both practically and spiritually. This collection is vital to enable this work to continue. Please give generously and remember seafarers in your prayers. With the thanks of A.O.S. To donate online please visit www.apostleshipofthesea.org.uk ​ OUR LADY, STAR OF THE SEA, PRAY FOR SEAFARERS, PRAY FOR US. O Mary, Star of the Sea, light of every ocean, guide seafarers across all dark and stormy seas that they may reach the haven of peace and light prepared in Him who calmed the sea. As we set forth upon the oceans of the world and cross the deserts of our time, show us, O Mary, the fruit of your womb, for without your Son we are lost. Pray that we will never fail on life’s journey, that in heart and mind, word and deed, in days of turmoil and in days of calm, we will always look to Christ and say, ‘Who is this that even wind and sea obey him?’ Our Lady of Peace, pray for us! Bright Star of the Sea, guide us! JULY EDITION OF ‘THE CATHOLIC PEOPLE’. Please collect your copy of the July edition of ‘The Catholic People’, our archdiocesan newspaper (edited by parishioner Dr.James Campbell), which contains some wonderful photographs of the ordination of Fr.Laurence Bryce. REVEREND FATHER.THOMAS CLARKE. Please pray for Fr.Thomas Clarke who was ordained to the priesthood for the Archdiocese of Liverpool at his home parish of St.Charles Borromeo on Saturday th 13 ​ July. Whilst he was a student at the Royal English College, Valladolid, Spain, ​ Thomas undertook a month’s pastoral placement here at the Cathedral in January 2013. You might remember him as having served as the ‘Youth Lord Mayor of Liverpool’ during his Upper Sixth School Year. In the autumn of 2013 Thomas moved from Valladolid to St.Mary’s Seminary, Oscott for six more years of formation. We offer him our congratulations and extend the assurance of our prayers.

The coming week will see us celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the first moon landing in July 1969. We should never forget the wonder of that moment when we witnessed human beings setting foot upon another celestial body for the first time. How long will it be before we return to the Moon? How long will it be before we undertake the journey to Mars? As stewards of creation we should explore the horizon so as to expand our understanding and thus draw closer to the Creator. th 16 ​ July 1969: ​ Launch of the Saturn V Rocket carrying the Apollo 11 Mission. Neil Armstrong, ‘Buzz’Aldrin and Michael Collins begin their 239,000 mile journey from the Earth to the Moon. th 20 ​ July 1969: ​ During the descent to the surface of the Moon, Flight Commander Neil Armstrong assumed manual control of the Lunar Module. He took over from the computer so as to manoeuvre the spacecraft towards a safe landing site. The touchdown was successful but with only thirty seconds of fuel remaining in the tank. As Neil Armstrong placed his foot on the lunar surface he declared the immortal words, “One small step for man; one giant leap for mankind.” When ‘Buzz’Aldrin joined Armstrong on the surface and beheld the vista, he declared “Magnificent desolation.” Astronaut Michael Collins, Command Module Pilot, had no television contact with the Lunar Module and had to be satisfied with an audio link. NOW AS THEN, I LIKE TO THINK THAT MICHAEL COLLINS AND I ARE RELATED IN SOME WAY!!! ARCHBISHOP STACK APPOINTED APOSTOLIC ADMINISTRATOR OF THE DIOCESE OF MENEVIA.
