Pope Francis has gone home to The Father.

It is with great sadness that we learn today of the death of Pope Francis.

He has truly been one of the great popes of recent history, bringing people together across the world, with a fresh outlook from a pontiff with a world view few have matched before him.

May he rest in peace, and may his legacy never be forgotten.

Welcome to the Church, Please see the News section of the site!

HAPPY EASTER

A Reminder – The Wednesday Word

The Wednesday WORD is a resource for you to use at home. The idea is that you spend some time working through the readings for the following Sunday, it is put together by a Jesuit priest who will lead you through the readings as well as giving insights into the readings.

To get to the Wednesday Word site, simply press this link http://wednesdayword.org/

This information is on our website. This is something you might like to make use of during the period of Advent.

Weekday Mass

I would like to encourage you, if you are able, to join us for weekday masses on Wednesday and Friday at Sacred Heart and Tuesday and Thursday at St Joseph’s, Mossley. I always think that beginning the day with holy Mass is a great way to begin any day. Why not think about it and come along to join us?
