The Sixteenth Sunday In Ordinary Time

With the end of the School Year, holiday time is here and a time for a break and change of routine, hopefully without a repeat of the chaos with the outages. For Teachers and Staff of our Schools a thank you for all your commitment to the young.

The Diocesan Pilgrimage To Lourdes

Over 700 Pilgrims from the Diocese begin journeying to Lourdes on Thursday and Friday – 17 year olds from the Secondary Schools, nurses, disabled and sick people and lots of helpers. You may catch sight of them by visiting “The Sanctuary of Lourdes” via our website or the Diocesan Website. It will be the 50th Anniversary of A&B’s Pilgrimage.

Our Lady of Walsingham

Her memorial on September 24th has now been decreed to be a liturgical Feast.

St Mary Magdalene

Monday is now her Feast Day. She is described as ‘The Apostle To The Apostles’. From the Preface:

He appeared in the garden and revealed Himself to Mary Magdalene, who had loved him in life, witnessed him dying on the Cross, sought him as he lay in the tomb, and was the first to adore him, newly risen from the dead.
