Parish NEwsletter

Each week a Parish newsletter is written and distributed at Sunday Mass. 

Misplaced your copy or unable to attend this week? Look no further, the newletter is below!

There are still no Masses throughout the Diocese.

TODAY

is the feast of Ss. Peter and Paul who were both martyred in Rome. Peter was chosen by Christ to be the first leader of the Church. Paul was converted on the road to Damascus.

SUNDAY & HOLY DAY OF OBLIGATION

The faithful continue to be dispensed in this national emergency from the obligation to attend Holy Mass on Sundays and Holy Days. We have not yet returned to a state of normality and there are parishioners who may remain shielded/isolated for many medical reasons. For this reason, the Bishop would want to encourage live streaming Mass to be continued wherever possible and the encouragement of prayer in the home and acts of spiritual communion for those who are unable to attend Mass.

WIRRAL FOOD BANK

ST. LUKE’S S.V.P

during the ‘lockdown’ we have been making personal telephone calls to people living alone and in addition, during the good weather have been able to make face to face calls carried out at a safe distance door to pavement/path. We provide a ‘listening ear’ and a friendly chat. If you have a relative, friend or neighbour who would like to be contacted in this way please their details at the Parish House.

MORNING PRAYER

Almighty God, strengthen me to serve you today with a joyful and generous heart. May the work I do give you glory, and may it somehow bring benefit to all my brothers and sisters throughout the world who are working alongside me. Amen.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

Lessons in life will be repeated until they are learned.
