During this season of Easter, can the leaders of the following small ministry groups please

Runcorn Carnival: Runcorn Hill Park Saturday 11th and Sunday 12 th July 2015
The Runcorn Carnival organisers have offered our Parish the opportunity to hold a stall at the
carnival venue, Runcorn Hill Park on Saturday 11th and Sunday 12th July 2015.
The theme for the carnival this year is: ’1100 Years of Runcorn’. The Parish Pastoral Council
hopes that all small ministry groups will think of ways in which they could contribute to this
opportunity to demonstrate through displays or information leaflets the opportunities offered
to everyone, regardless of their faith experience, who would like to learn more about our faith
community. We will also need volunteers to ‘man’ the stall throughout the two days.
A meeting to discuss the event will be held at St. Edward’s Church on Tuesday 28 th April 2015
at 7:00p.m., we hope that all small ministry groups will be represented.
Thank you for your support

The Visit of the Miraculous Relic Image of Our Lady of Guadalupe from 9th-15th of
May at Shrewsbury Cathedral. The Miraculous Relic Image of Our Lady of Guadalupe is
one of 220 digital copies created and sent to each nation of the world. It is a relic
because the image has been consecrated while touching the original image of Our Lady
of Guadalupe. The image will be formally welcomed into the Cathedral on the Saturday
afternoon and will remain in the Cathedral for prayer and veneration until the following
Friday. The Cathedral will be open daily from 10am until 5:30pm during the seven days
of the visit. (7.30am-7pm on the Sunday). Bishop Davies will preside at the Service of
Reception, the official beginning of the visit, at 4pm on Saturday the 9th of May (the
image will be available to visit and for prayer from lunchtime) and the image will be
sent to St Chad’s Cathedral in Birmingham following the 12:12 Mass on Friday the 15th
May. It would be wonderful to see pilgrims visiting the Cathedral from across the
Diocese and praying before the image and we look forward to welcoming you at the
Cathedral.
Canon Jonathan Mitchell, Cathedral Dean.
