Light a Candle
If you wish to send intentions for prayers to be placed in the Grotto at Lourdes or wish to have a candle lit for a special intention, volunteers for HCPT will be taking letters with intentions and names together with a donation of £1.00 for a candle to be lit at Easter on Sunday 1st April, at Sacred Heart and St Richard's.

Maundy Thursday Chrism Mass
This is at the Cathedral in Liverpool. During the Mass, the Oils of Chrism, Catchumens and Infirmaria, used in parishes throughout the year, are blessed, and the priests attending also renew their priestly vows.
