Annual Parish Statistics

over the coming weekends as part of our diocesan submission.

The Prayer to St Michael the Archangel

At the suggestion of Pope Francis we offer this prayer for the
unity of the Catholic Church and the end of all forms of abuse:
Holy Michael the Archangel, defend us in this day of
battle. Be our safeguard against the wickedness and snares
of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do
thou, O Prince of the heavenly host, by the power of
God, thrust down into hell satan, and all evil spirits, who
wander through the world for the ruin of souls. Amen

The Blessing of Graves takes place on Saturday, 4th
November at 12noon in Shire Lodge Cemetery. All welcome.

Second Collection this weekend

There will be a
to support the important work of the Mission Directorate.

Mass for those with disabilities, their parents,

carers and friends on Sunday, 8th October at 3:00pm
in our Cathedral. The Mass will be celebrated by Bishop David and
Priests of the Diocese, including Fr Christopher. Refreshments follow.

Evangelii Gaudium Sunday

(today) calls us to be
full of joy in proclaiming our Catholic Faith to other people and
supports the work of the Mission Directorate on behalf of the
Bishops of England and Wales. The key focus of the Mission
Directorate is responding to Pope Francis’ calling of a Jubilee
Year in AD 2025 with the theme, Pilgrims of Hope. The Holy
Father has invited the Church to prepare for the Jubilee by: in
2023 reflecting on the four Constitutions of the Second Vatican
Council and in 2024 each person deepening their prayer life
(with emphasis on the Lord’s Prayer). For more details visit:

The Parish Solemnity of Our Lady of Walsingham

on Sunday, 24th September is a wonderful opportunity to seek
Mary’s intercession for Corby and its surrounding villages.

In this Novena we
turn to Our Lady
of Walsingham
and ask of her
prayers in our
time of need and
in preparation for
our forthcoming
Parish Solemnity.
Seeking Mary’s
prayers is an
integral part of
our Faith; we turn
to Mary as her
children, recalling
that in His dying
breath Jesus
entrusted us into his Mother’s maternal care (John 19:26-27).
When in 1061 Our Lady appeared to Richeldis she asked that a
replica of the Holy House be built in Walsingham as a memorial
to the Annunciation; following its destruction at the English
Reformation we might now consider the Marian side chapel at
OLW as a new Holy House! As we approach our great Patronal
Solemnity may we trust anew in Mary’s powerful intercession
for us and let us also recall that in 1897 Pope Leo XIII said:
“When England goes back to Walsingham,
Our Lady will come back to England”.
Thank you to all who have participated in this novena and to all
who will do so over the coming days. On this Sunday we shall
offer the novena immediately following the 8:30am Mass.

Our Lady of Walsingham and St John Ogilvie: Pray for us.

With every blessing this Ordinary Time,
Fr Christopher, Fr Prasad & Fr Wayne
