Forty Hours Exposition (Quarant Ore)
Thank you to all who have kindly donated money toward the cost of candles and flowers this year. A special thank you to Jenny Hilton who courageously put out a small fire with her hands, which was started by a rogue candle, and ensured minimum damage to the sanctuary carpet. Thank you to all who were able to come and watch during the forty hours and those who attended the Reposition services in the evening

Changes in the Deanery
There are to be several changes in the Deanery this year.

  • Last week Fr Austin Hughes announced to St Joseph's Parish that he would be taking up a new appointment in September in the Sacred Heart Province for the order.
  • Fr Anton Madej will be taking over as Parish Priest and the parish is not receiving a replacement for Fr Austin.
  • This weekend Fr Peter Devlin will be announcing to the Parishes of Twelve Apostles and Our Lady of the Rosary that he will be taking a Sabbatical (study leave) starting in September for six months. At the end of the Sabbatical he will be given a new placement.
  • Fr Neil Ritchie who has now completed his 3 year course at Salford University and two years as chaplain to St Mary's is moving from Sacred Heart, Hindsford to succeed Fr Peter.
  • Fr Arthur Mulcahy announced a few weeks ago that he has given notification to the Archbishop of his retirement from parish ministry in September 2002. Father is not to have a direct replacement when he retires, instead we may receive an assistant priest for this year.
  • In September 2002 there will be three priest to cover five parishes. So in 2002 :~ St Richard's-Sacred Heart-St Ambrose-St Gabriels-Holy Family Fr Stephen Cooper, Fr David Heywood, Fr ? (to be confirmed).
