Our Diocesan Anniversary:

As we approach the 175th anniversary of
our foundation (on 29th September) we
pray that for God’s blessing on the work
of the Canons of Northampton Cathedral.

Thursday, 5th June and Friday, 6th June:

All are very welcome to join us for refreshments after
Mass; spread the word that there will be Easter eggs!

Clergy Moves:

Fr Christopher and Fr Wayne will move from Corby at
the end of September 2025, having first celebrated the
Solemnity of Our Lady of Walsingham. A Priest, who
will live in the Our Lady of Walsingham Presbytery, will
join Fr Mark to work in the combined Corby parishes.

Synodal Listening Gathering:

This will take place after the rosary on Wednesday,
11th June and will allow participants to share their
hopes for the future of the Corby parishes over tea
and coffee. See Janet Northing for further details.

Our Lady of Fatima Statue and Relics Visit:

The Pilgrim Statue of the Immaculate Heart of Mary
and the relics of Saints Francisco and Jacinta Marto
will visit Northampton Cathedral on Saturday, 21st
June as part of a day of prayer that begins at 10:50am.

The bracket seven-day candle at the statue
of St Joseph the Worker burns in prayer for:

NB: The Diocesan Mass for Altar Servers is postponed.

June is dedicated to the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus.

Thank you: We extend our appreciation to all who
participated in the Dominican Marian Retreat and to
those involved in planning the day and who assisted
with the refreshments, etc. Please hold Sr Philomena
Benedict, OP and Fr Richard Ounsworth, OP in your
prayers as we give thanks for their witness to Christ.

SVP Foodbank: Donations to this are most gratefully
received and support local families who are in need.

Congratulations Fr Christopher!

We assure Fr Christopher of our continued prayers on
his recent nomination as a Canon of our Cathedral. It
is also an honour for our parishes, so well-done Corby!

Spiritual Adoption Novena - Update:

This beautiful novena began just under ten weeks ago
and is being prayed by many parishioners specifically
for babies in the womb who are threatened by
abortion. At this stage in their development, the baby
in the womb is 3-4 centimetres long and about the size
of a strawberry. Their tiny face is starting to take
shape, ears are starting to form, and the nose has
nostrils. The main parts of the baby’s eyes that will
enable vision are fully formed. The baby’s heart is
fully developed and beating, though it cannot be
heard. Arms and legs are getting longer, and the
elbows can bend. Fingers and toes are beginning to
lose their webbing. Thank you to those who are
praying this novena, for your continued prayers for
each unborn child and their parents, and for those
who are supporting them by your prayers.
Jesus: Have mercy on us. Mary & Joseph: Pray for us.

We shall offer the St Dominic Chaplet each day as
a novena in Our Lady of Walsingham Church on:
Sunday, 1st June: 9:45am
•
Monday, 2nd June: 9:20am
•
Tuesday, 3rd June: 9:20am
•
Wednesday, 4th June: → 10:30am
•
Thursday, 5th June: 9:20am

You can purchase the St Dominic Chaplet beads

In the love of the Ascended Christ, Fr Christopher & Fr Wayne
