Many thanks to the UCM (Union of Catholic Mothers) Liverpool
just been to Mass at Litherland where they gave out charitable donations. I received one on behalf of the Vocations and Priests Training Fund which is a great help to the work we do for vocations in the Archdiocese
Earlier today I was out with Holy Communion to some of the sick in the parish and then went to a hospice to visit one of my parishioners, named John. He has been a geat friend to me and has always looked after Monty my dog when I have been away on holiday or vocations visits.
Being with the sick and those coming to the end of their lives is a great privilege and part of priestly life. Pray for John.
The parish has started a youth group today for 11-15 year olds. There was a good turnout of young people so I hope they continue to meet and develop as part of parish life.
Monday to Tuesday I went down to Oscott college in Sutton Coldfield, the seminary in the midlands to visit one of our students. There where warning signs saying the M6 was congested and to use the Toll Road which I didn't and the road was pretty clear there and back, a saving of £7.00. Had a good visit and as always was made very welcome.
A quiet couple of days coming up but you never know what will happen as a priest. watch this space
God bless
Fr Steve
