Welcome to the Diocese of Salford
|
The 'Thought for the Day' for the next couple of weeks will focus on the words of popes. For the next few days, we have posted John Paul II's words at Heaton Park on 31st May 1982. After that, we look at some of the thoughts of Pope Benedict. We are getting information in from all over the diocese about what people experienced when Pope John Paul II came to Heaton Park. If you would like to add any of your reflections, please email them to Fr John Flynn. We will put them on the new papal blog, which we will update daily. Please keep praying for the success of Pope Benedict's visit among us. |
