Newsletter- 14th Week of Ordinary Time
Father Jonathan will be back from his holiday this weekend to celebrate the Sunday Liturgies on Saturday 8th July at 6 pm
and Sunday 9th July at 9.30 am.
We hope he enjoyed a happy and restful break abroad with his friend.
We are very grateful to Monsignor John Hadley and to Andrew for their generosity and kindness in offering their practical help and support during Father Jonathan’s time away.
Fr Kevin Gradwell died, late on the evening of Saturday 1st July from cancer. He will have been known by many of our parish as he was for just a short while, from September 2020 parish priest of St Marys before retiring to a small apartment in Marple Bridge.
