Our Diocesan 175th Anniversary:

As we approach the anniversary of our
foundation (on 29th September) we pray
for a renewal in our missionary work.

Fr Liam

Castle, a
native of
Bedford,
will be
appointed
to Corby
to assist
Fr Mark
and will
live in Our Lady of Walsingham Presbytery. Fr Liam
was ordained Priest in 2022 and celebrated his First
Mass in the Church of Ss Philip and James, Bedford
(where Fr Wayne was the Parish Priest). Fr Liam is a
part of the diocesan On-Going Formation team, with
responsibility for Priests ordained less than ten years.
Please pray for Fr Liam at this time of transition.

First Reconciliation, First Holy Communion & Confirmation Preparation in AD 2025/2026:

From Fr Mark Floody. “We are going to follow the
practice recommended by the diocese for children for
First Holy Communion and Confirmation to be
prepared within the parish by parish catechists and
supported by the clergy. So, for the children who are
looking to celebrate the sacraments next year we will
prepare them, those in Catholic Schools and those in
State Schools, within the parish. This will consist of
one Saturday morning a month and the classes will be
held at St Patrick’s Primary School. We will give dates
and times in the next few weeks. I know this is a
major change and we will be asking the families to
commit to the programs, but it is also a wonderful way
for the children to get to know each other throughout
the parishes in Corby.” Please contact Canon Mark if
you have any questions about this: (01536) 202879.

SVP RAFFLE TICKETS ARE FOR SALE!

‘Janet’s Rosary Rescue’: If you have a rosary that
belonged to a loved one and which needs repairing,
either because it is broken or beads have become lost,
then I would be happy to try and repair it for you, so
that it can be used for prayer once more. Please have
a word with me or email: jf.northing@gmail.com

Spiritual Adoption Novena: This began just under
eighteen weeks ago and is being prayed for babies in
the womb, known by God, who are threatened by
abortion. At eighteen weeks the baby is about 14.2cm
long from head to bottom, so they are approximately
the size of a bell pepper. The baby’s ears, nose, and
lips are all recognisable on an ultrasound. Eyebrows,
eyelashes, nails and hair are formed too. The small
tubes in the lungs have started to develop and girl/boy
parts are formed and in place. The baby will be doing
a lot of wriggling which means that the mother will
feel the baby moving around for the first time. The
baby may begin a sleep-wake cycle, so loud noises
may wake the baby up if they are asleep! Thank you
to those who are praying this novena for each unborn
child and their parents, and for those who praying in
support of them. See Janet Northing for more details.

Refreshments will be served after the Rosary on
Wednesday, 30th July and all are welcome to join us!
