THE WORLD THIS WEEK
Dear Friends,
Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Fr Francis Wadsworth, and I am delighted to be joining you as your new Parish Priest at Holy Family. I come not simply to be your Parish Priest, but to walk with you in faith. I have much to learn about this parish and I look forward to getting to know you.
I grew up in Leigh where my parents were licensees of a pub! Among my hobbies I include cooking, reading and the learning of foreign languages. Indeed, one of the reasons that has prompted my move to Holy Family is concentrate more on learning BSL to be of service to the wider diocese and the Deaf Community.
I have a special place in my heart for Lourdes, where I have been on pilgrimage for many years and currently serve as te Chaplain to the Nursing and Medical Team. I look forward to celebrating the Sacraments with you, praying with you, and working together to make our parish a welcoming and vibrant community of faith. Pray for me as I pray for you and look forward to meeting you all soon.
Fr Francis
