Taize
Prayer . . .
This Summer some of our young people went to Taize, an ecumenical youth
retreat centre in France. They have been so impressed by what they saw
and heard that they want to share that experience with others and so
we are starting our own Taize Prayer Group in the Deanery on the 3rd
Sunday of each month. The first meeting will be at St Josephıs at 7.30
pm on 18th November - if you want to know more about Taize or Taize
Prayer come along . . . Fr Ronnie's your man for any questions.
Leigh
Deanery DAY of REFLECTION & DISCUSSION
An open Day for anyone in the Leigh Deanery on Saturday 8th December
2001 from 10 am - 4 pm (lunch will be provided) Holy Family Parish Hall,
Boothstown. Instead of reacting to a developing situation, we are trying
to plan for the future. But to be able to do that, priests and people
need to reflect together on four crucial questions :
What is the Church for?
What is the role of the Eucharist?
What do we understand by the word parish?
What might be a way forward for the churches in this area?
This is an important day for each parish in the deanery. Everyone is
welcome . . . (catholics practising or not), Christians from other Churches,
people from other Community groups. If you are able to come along, please
sign the list at the back of church. Many Thanks.
Children's
Liturgy of the Word
On
Saturday 1st December from 2 pm - 5 pm at St Gabriel's Parish Centre

is intended for all who are connected or help with Children's Liturgy.
Please let Fr Steve know if you are interested in taking up this opportunity.
Ecumenical Advent Service at St Richards Church 3 pm Sunday 2nd December Please come along and begin your Advent journey with us . . .
Following

Churches Together in Atherton plan to present 'Pharoah to Freedom' next
