UPDATE ON ST MARYS CHURCH, MARPLE BRIDGE: On behalf of St Mary’s Church, MB we are grateful to our Bishop for keeping St Mary’s Church open and for mass (masses) to continue over the weekend. Also, thank you to all the parishioners for their prayers at this difficult time and a special thank you to Peter Moore (retired Solicitor) who has worked tirelessly on our behalf. A copy of the Bishop’s letter will be available at the back of both churches, on the St Mary’s WhatsApp and on the Parish website. Denise Ead Chair of the Parish Council.
SPECIAL MESSAGE The pupils of St Mary’s Catholic Voluntary Academy in Marple Bridge were thrilled to hear Bishop Patrick’s message that their parish church will remain open and that Mass will continue to be celebrated at St Mary’s. Quite spontaneously, after classroom discussion, a Year 5 pupil drafted a letter, straight from the heart and unedited. Please see print out at the back of both churches.
- Pope Francis asked all parishes to make their community sustainable in the spirit of the integral ecology set out in Laudato Si. Our Bishop has launched a campaign to respond to this call. CLICK HERE to find our more about our own parish plan for this vital matter.
