Middlesbrough Diocese has put together a pdf outlining a possible Holy Week Retreat the Caholic faithful might like to follow in lieu of being able to actually attend services. Please follow the link and click on the precise link on the left hand side.
You might like to say the following prayer; In 1381, England was dedicated to Mary by King Richard II and was 'set apart for her among the nations'. This Sunday 29th March 2020, the Christians of England are called to make a personal dedication to Mary, taking up her example as Christ’s first disciple. History shows us that when the people pray a surrender to God’s will for their lives, society is transformed. By taking up this personal dedication in 2020, you can be a part of the renewal of this nation, drawing ourselves closer to the will of our loving God, through Mary.
FOR THE TIME BEING, THE CHURCH IS CLOSED IN LINE WITH GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS MOTIVATED BY THE NEED TO STOP THE SPREAD OF THE CORONAVIRUS AND THE CATHOLIC PRINCIPLE OF THE COMMON GOOD.
My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the most Holy Sacrament. I love you above all things, and I desire to receive you into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive you sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace you as if you were already there and unite myself wholly to you. Never permit me to be separated from you. Amen.
David Robinson is stepping down as co-ordinator. Very many thanks to him and best wishes (and thanks!) to Phil Frank who is taking over. The Parish gave a magnificent total to Mission of £1635.65 in 2019, the best ever. Well Done!
