Thank you

Thank you all very sincerely for your very kind and generous participation in the preparations and celebration of the important feast of Christ the King last Sunday. Many of you had helped tidying up the parish grounds one week before and all of you have contributed to the joyful and very beautiful celebration on the feast itself. I thank you wholeheartedly for your kindness you are showing toward me and for your generous gifts you gave me on the titular feast of our Institute.

I understand that by showing your affection toward your local pastor you also wish to demonstrate your love for our dear Institute which is the spiritual family of us all. Your support of our seminary in Gricigliano in Tuscany will be very helpful: the second collection on the feast of Christ the King this year brought £644.74. Also in the name of my superiors and all seminarians, I thank you for this most generous contribution and support of the priestly formation at our motherhouse.


May God bless you and your families always and
especially in this very difficult time for the Church and the world.

With my prayers and my blessing for you and your families,


Canon Michael K. Wiener

Update on Masses at St Winefride’s (22/08/22)

There will be no weekday Masses at St Winefride’s this week.

It was necessary to cancel the scheduled Masses on the 24th and 26th August because the priest is unable to come on those days. He hopes to be able to come the following week on 31 August and 2 September.

This arrangement will be confirmed or cancelled by the end of this week. Please check this space for further information.
