This Sunday is Mothering Sunday! Its name derives from
the words of St Paul and the Entrance and Communion Antiphons
which we hear at Mass; these speak of the new heavenly city of
Jerusalem, which is likened to being our mother. ✝ Let us pray
especially this day for mothers and all who fulfil a mothering role.

St Joseph is closely associated with the colour green as this
symbolises his faithfulness to God’s call. St Joseph: Pray for us.

The Litany of St Joseph will be offered, for our parishes,
after Mass from Sunday, 10th March for nine consecutive days.

→ Our green scapular investitures will take
place at the 9:30am Mass on St Joseph’s Day: 19th

St Joseph and Pope Francis: In commemoration of the
150th anniversary of the declaration of St Joseph as the Patron of
the Universal Church, Francis proclaimed a “Year of St Joseph”.
The Pope has had a great devotion to St Joseph for many years;
elected to the Papacy on 13th March 2013 he chose St Joseph’s
Day (19th March) as the date of his installation as Bishop of Rome.
He has shared with us that he keeps a statue of the sleeping St
Joseph in his room and for decades has offered a daily prayer to
this saint. St Joseph was added to the Second, Third and Fourth
Eucharistic Prayers (only) by Pope Francis in 2013; Pope John XXIII
had included St Joseph in the First Eucharistic Prayer in 1962.

On the Solemnity of St Joseph 2020 Bishop David was
ordained as Bishop of Northampton in our Cathedral Church.

Thank you to all who sponsored the green sanctuary lamp
that temporarily stands before the statue of St Joseph in OLW.

Had today not been a Sunday in
Lent we would be celebrating:

ST JOHN OGILVIE DAY.

We thus assure everyone in that
part of our united parishes of our
prayers as today we give thanks to
God for such a wonderful patron.
A convert to Catholicism, St John
died for the Faith and became the
only post-Reformation Scottish
saint. St John Ogilvie: Pray for us.
