My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as being already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You.

Amen.

Press release for English Marian Shrines 

pastedGraphic.png

Radio Maria England presents its new series on ENGLISH MARIAN SHRINES.

Catholic internet radio station, RADIO MARIA ENGLAND, recently launched its new autumn schedule. Among its new programmes is ENGLISH MARIAN SHRINES. Presenter, Lucia Watson, introduces various holy Marian Shrines in our country. Yes, you’ve heard of Lourdes, yes you’ve heard of Walsingham, but DID YOU KNOW of the many other shrines scattered throughout our country?

Tune in for our broadcasts:  Sun 18:30, Tue 16:30, Sat 02:30, Sat 20:30  Duration:  30 minutes

11.10.20 Shrine of Our Lady of Grace, Ipswich – Fr. John Thackray and Jean Johnson. They share the dramatic story of our Lady of Grace and the connection with the Italian town of Nettuno.

18.10.20 Shrine of Our Lady of the Rosary  & St Dominic, Haverstock Hill, London – Lynne Leeder and Fr Toby Lees. Listen to the history of the shrine, the addition of the Mysteries of Light Garden and the exciting plan they have for the future of the Parish.

25.10.20 Shrine of Our Lady of Willesden, Harlesden, London– Fr Stephen Willis. Find out why the parishioners would donate golden wedding rings to the parish and how the statue (which was made out of the oak tree in the garden of the parish) was crowned by Cardinal Griffin at Wembley Stadium, in front of 94000 people. 

1.11.20 Shrine of Our Lady of Doncaster- Pauline Allan who is the Guardian of the Shrine. Ever wondered what the job of a Guardian of the Shrine entails? Pauline tells us about its amazing garden, and how they aim to bring back the importance of pilgrimage to this Shrine. 

8.11.20 Shrine of Our Lady of Consolation, West Grinstead- Geoff Callister. He usually gives the pilgrims various talks about the Shrine. Tune in to listen to some interesting facts about the secret chapel located in the Priest’s House.

An announcement from our Bishop: ‘Following  yesterday evening’s announcement by the Prime Minister of a Lockdown for the whole of England beginning on Thursday and mindful that there is to be a vote in Parliament on Monday, I would ask you to inform parishioners that it is most likely that a cessation of the celebration of public Masses will begin on Thursday and continue until the end of the period of Lockdown.  Information will be made available on the Diocesan Website as soon as arrangements are confirmed on Monday.

Such a scenario will mean a return to a reliance on live-streamed Masses for this coming period.  Thank you for your understanding in these difficult circumstances and for your support for priests and deacons whose ministry, albeit somewhat limited, is so necessary.  It is to be hoped that it may prove possible to keep churches open for private prayer. Please keep the needs of those who are sick and those who care for them in your prayers at this time. Bishop Richard, Bishop of Arundel and Brighton’

 We would like to express great thanks to John, Chris, and James Dobbe for such splendid work in the grounds recently – including a brand new shrub/flower bed near the 5-bar gate to the paddock, and the removal of a considerable quantity of rubbish – including hardcore – from the Pilgrim’s Way, in a sizeable skip.

An Act of Spiritual Communion

My Jesus,

I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament.

I love You above all things,

and I desire to receive You into my soul.

Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally,

come at least spiritually into my heart.

I embrace You as being already there

and unite myself wholly to You.

Never permit me to be separated from You.

Amen.
