SUMMER FAIR: A BIG THANK YOU to all those who supported last week’s summer fair in any way.

Members of the Safeguarding Dept of the Diocese of Salford will visit the parish to assist with this process.
CORNERSTONE COLLECTIONS: These collections continue at the back of church. Many thanks for your continued generosity.

THE WORLD THIS WEEK
I came without a speech, but I came here with hunger. I came with a hunger for justice; I came with a hunger for genuine charity; I came with a hunger for a Church that truly knows how to open its doors, welcome, and receive everyone; where there is love for everyone and where no one is an enemy; where all of us know how to live reconciliation, forgiveness, and peace. The Pope has, among his many titles, that of “Pontiff”: a builder of bridges. And today we too would like to build a bridge with all of you, with your families, and with the society in which we want to live – but to live with justice, to live where the causes of poverty can be eliminated, to live where the causes of injustice that still exist in our world can be eliminated. This is the Church we want to be. I thank all of you, and all those responsible for preparing this wonderful meal, because when we live this spirit of encounter, all together with a seat at the table – where Jesus is also present with us – we are truly building a different world: a world of hope, a world that is a light in the midst of a world that is so often broken apart by violence, hate, and discrimination. Let us strive to become that experience of Church: a Church of justice, a Church of peace, a Church of love. And now let us ask the Lord to bless us, to bless the food, and to bless the table we wish to share with each other … in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Pope Leo XIV
