On the 29 February we became a new Parish under the patronage of our local martyr St. John Boste.
Please keep our Parish in your prayers, under the guidance of St. John Boste and the patrons of our churches, St. Catherine of Alexandria, St. Wulstan & Our Lady of Appleby.
The Parish logo at the top of the Newsletter is based on the title given to the missionary priest John Boste ‘the great stag of the North’ - a new website will appear soon!
Congratulations to all who were confirmed by Bishop Paul last Tuesday evening. The Mass and celebration afterwards were much appreciated – thank you to all involved for your great work! Special thanks to Deacon David and Sue who led the preparation programme and to those who supported the candidates on their spiritual journey.
We pray for the continual presence of the Holy Spirit in all our lives. Fr John
