Dear Brothers and Sisters, Today at 11.00 mass we celebrate the ‘scrutiny’, the moment when our parish community sees all our Journey in Faith pilgrims, whom God has chosen, and welcomes them into our parish family. St.Patrick (Monday) is honoured as the patron of Ireland and all missionaries. He is also patron saint of Nigeria. St.Cyril of Jerusalem (Tuesday) born in Judea was 4th century Jerusalem Bishop famed for his disputes with Arians who denied the divinity of Christ. Arians, powerful in politics exiled him for 17 yrs. His catechism instruction still has a very modern ring nearly 1700 years on Saint Joseph (Tuesday) is honoured as the guardian of Jesus, and patron of all fathers, foster parents & manual workers. Jesus was known as the son of the Carpenter, so today we honour all who work with their hands. St.Cuthbert (Thursday) was the hero of the Celtic church in 7th cent Northumbria St.Bede tells how he became bishop of Hexham and then succeeded to the see of Lindisfarne, and became a beacon of light and hope in an unstable world. He is saint of Hexham & Newcastle Diocese +++++++++++++++++++++++++ Jubilee Lenten Pilgrimage Walks: * Sunday 23rd March Walk to Olton Friary – leaving respective Churches at 2.00pm ETA 3.00pm. * Sunday 6 April Walk to St.Augustine’s leaving respective Churches at 2.00pm with ETA 3.00pm. * Sunday 13th April Walk from St.George & St.Teresa’s: Take bus or train from our own church to reach G & T by 2.00pm.
