On Saturday 10th
September several members of our parish attended Clifton Cathedral where the
Relics of St Bernadette were on display. There was a full programme planned the
start of which was the Welcome Entrance and Procession of the Relics at 2-00pm. Unfortunately, the vehicle bring the Relics was held up for several hours due
to accident on the motorway. The schedule therefore had to be changed. While waiting for the Relics, the Joyful
Mysteries of the Rosary were said followed by individual Blessing with Holy
Water from Lourdes and then individual anointing of the sick. When the Relics finally arrived, they were displayed in the Sanctuary, and everyone joined in a wonderful
celebration of Holy Mass. It was an extremely memorable day. - T.Hughes
Catholiclisteners, is a new confidential helpline launched this year during Holy Week. The service which is part of the Diocese of Westminster, has been set up for those who are returning to the faith as well as to support those who need someone to talk to. The helpline is all about listening to others, listening to those who might have become isolated due to the pandemic. This service is based on the Landings ethos of compassionate listening. Although not a counselling service, there is a professional team trained in signposting callers to other services and agencies.
