Father Greg Writes

      • Lourdes 2026 – I wonder if you might be interested in coming to Lourdes with me this Summer? We will be joining the Diocesan Pilgrimage on a chartered plane from East Midlands Airport Monday 13th July – Friday 17th July. There will be a team of doctors, nurses and a full complement of health care professionals on the pilgrimage and we can provide travel insurance for anyone with any kind of medical need. You can book your place with our agent Tangney Tours 01732886666. If you are in need of medical assistance tell Tangney Tours that you would like to stay in the Hotel Padoue, otherwise stay in the Hotel Eliseo. Our Lady of Lourdes and St Bernadette pray for us!
      • As we celebrate the Fifth Sunday of Eastertide, the Gospel gives us words of deep comfort from the Lord: “Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God still, and trust in me.” (John 14:1-12). In a world often marked by anxiety and uncertainty, Christ reminds us that He is the Way, the Truth and the Life. He calls us to place our confidence in Him and to follow faithfully wherever He leads.
      • Today many from across the Diocese take part in the annual Beauvale Pilgrimage, honouring the witness of the Carthusian Martyrs. Please see the diocesan website for pilgrimage details and information. This Tuesday is a Day of Special Prayer for Survivors of Sexual Abuse. We remember all who have suffered harm, praying for healing, justice, and renewal within the Church and wider society. On Friday we mark the first anniversary of the election of Pope Leo XIV. We give thanks for his ministry and ask the Lord to bless and guide him in his service to the universal Church.
      • Looking ahead, Thursday 14th May is the Solemnity of the Ascension of the Lord, a Holyday of Obligation. As we celebrate Christ’s return to the Father in glory, we are reminded of our calling to be His witnesses in the world. Mass Times for the Ascension: Buxton 10am & 6pm, Chapel 12 Noon, New Mills 9.30am. Marple Bridge 11.15am
      • ADULT FORMATION AND SPIRITUALITY: Following on from the meeting about future groups in our Parish, we are hoping that some of you will be interested in coming together to discuss new ideas to develop our faith. There will be a short meeting after 9.30 Mass in New Mills church hall, on Sunday 17th May to look at ways in which we can develop spiritual formation in our Parish. All are welcome; why not speak with Joe and Mary, and meet some like-minded people?
      • Please continue to pray for the Diocesan 5 year plan ‘Go make Disciples…..’ Pope Francis reminded us, “without prayer all our activity risks being fruitless and our message empty. Jesus wants each of us to be people who bear witness to His good news, not only with words but above all by a life transfigured by God’s presence.”(Evangelii Gaudium, 259). (P9)
