Welcome to the Diocese of Salford
|
The Year of Faith runs until 24th November 2013. As Bishop Brain says, the idea is for Catholics to become firmer in the faith so as to be able to share it with others in a convincing way. The task of all Christians is to share the Good News, and in any number of ways. But this call to "go out to the whole world" (Mark 16,15) will be fruitless if those who are asked to proclaim it are not confident in what we believe. So the year will be an opportunity for everyone to grow in confidence. There will be various events in the diocese throughout the year. Please see the Year of Faith section below. |

Aid to the Church in Need |
|
An Area Secretary is required for the charity Aid to the Church in Need. Can you encourage support for the faithful wherever they are persecuted, oppressed or in pastoral need? The charity is seeking someone with energy to represent the work of Aid to the Church in Need. You will be required to give 12 weekends of appeals per annum in parishes and up to 3 talks in schools, colleges and / or universities.
Rosary Relay for Priests, Friday 7th June |
|
Pray the Rosary, unite with your country and help to encircle the world in prayer for priests. The idea is a simple one: various shrines around the world pray a particular mystery of the Rosary at a particular half-hour on 7th June 2013. In the UK people will be praying the sorrowful mysteries at 1.45pm at the shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham. Why not join in where you are?
Sacred Heart and St Joseph raise £1250 |
|
Sacred Heart and St Joseph’s parishes invited Ged Edwards, CAFOD Salford’s Manager, on Tuesday 6th May to receive a cheque from them for £1,250 for the Hungry for Change Campaign. Margaret Leatham – who arranged the visit – and Joe Hunt from the two parishes presented the cheques for the Lent Fast Day collections for this amazing total.
Accrington says farwell |
|
The parish church of St Anne’s Accrington was packed to busting with the hundreds of volunteers, supporters and clients of Maundy Relief that came to the requiem Mass of Dorothy McGregor, the inspirational co-founder of Maundy Relief, a local charity in Abbey Street, Accrington.
