ST. BEUNO'S OUTREACH: In Luke's Gospel of the Tranfiguration, Jesus takes Peter, James and John up the mountain to pray. In the presence of Moses and Elijah, they see a glimpse of Jesus' true identity: his divinity is revealed. A voice from the cloud confirms Jesus as God's Son, and commands us, “Listen to him.”
ST. BEUNO'S PREGO THEME: As Pilgrims of Hope in this Jubilee Year, we pray that, like Peter, James and John, we may have a deeper trust and faith in Jesus, as we focus on listening to him. We remember this week especially those who are victims of natural disasters, and the climate crisis.
CHORLEY CATHOLIC SCHOOLS JUBILEE MASS: This will be on Tuesday at St. Mary's at 10.00am. It is also the feast of Blessed Roger Wrenno, our Chorley martyr. This will be a great opportunity for us all to renew our Faith and to look forward every day with joyful Hope as we make our daily journey towards our everlasting home. Here is no lasting city.
POPE FRANCIS: Continues to make progress, probably because of the prayers of the whole world. May he improve daily at his own pace.
STATIONS OF THE CROSS: Saturdays towards the end of Exposition; about 11.15am.
CHORLEY FOOD BANK: Please try and continue to bring tins and toiletries, especially during Lent.
MISSION BOXES: Please bring your money in for Cath Jones. Thank you.
ST. JOSEPH'S FEAST: On Wednesday. He always seems to be the forgotten one because he was the quietest, but he has great praying power with his adopted Son. We do underestimate him.
SACRAMENTAL PROGRAMME: We have a few Sessions to catch up on, which is okay, but please get the right messages coming from school and turn up. You have been excellent so far!!
MOTHERS DAY: Pretty soon. Don't forget! Mums are so special and cannot be replaced. We do tend to take for granted those we love the most! Have the flowers been ordered? Has the restaurant been booked??
