What’s happening at the Catholic Chaplaincy and the Holy Name this week

Sign language for Mass

4.30pm - 4.55pm every Tuesday, in the chaplaincy

Sign language gives you the tools to start breaking down communication barriers. You can build relationships with others that you previously may not have met. Come and learn a few signs for Mass from Fr. Paul.

Litter picking

1.30pm - 3pm Wednesdays, meet outside the chaplaincy

Join us again in litter picking at Whitworth park. Equipment provided.

Rosary

6pm Wednesdays, inside the church

Sr. Alicia is inviting everyone to pray rosary in the church. If you've never prayed the rosary sister will guide you through it. You don't even have to bring a rosary as there's always plenty to be shared. Rosary is followed by a casual social gathering organised by CathSoc.

Lord Jesus,
you conquered death without weapons or violence:
you shattered its power with the strength of peace.
Grant us your peace,
as you did to the women filled with doubt on Easter morning,
as you did to the disciples who were hiding in fear.
Send forth your Spirit,
the breath that gives life and reconciles,
that turns adversaries and enemies into brothers and sisters.
Inspire in us to trust in Mary, your mother,
who stood at the foot of your cross with a broken heart,
firm in the faith that you would rise again.
May the madness of war cease
and the Earth be cared for and cultivated by those who still
know how to bring forth, protect and love life.
Hear us, Lord of life!
