Racial Justice:  A Message from Archbishop Malcolm

This week, as we celebrate World Mission Sunday, Archbishop Malcolm invites us to reflect on diversity of the Universal Church and in our parishes and communities.  In his video message on racial justice, the Archbishop echoes the Pope’s message, “Go and invite everyone to the banquet!”, and shares some practical ways you can do this at a local level. Please watch his video below:

To unite with the day of fasting and  prayer for peace in the Holy Land called for by the Holy Father and the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem, the archbishop has decided to pray the Holy Rosary at 4.30pm in the Blessed Sacrament chapel and then celebrate the usual 5.00pm Mass at the Cathedral this coming Monday 7 October .

 

All are welcome to join him in this prayer.

 

The Archbishop apologizes for the late notification of this for this weekend.

Missionaries of Africa - Message from Fr Hugh Seenan MAfr

 

"I write firstly to thank you, and all your priests for the wonderful welcome given to me and our team as we travelled through the Archdiocese. Your priests and deacons are quite extraordinary in their work and kind and generous in their welcome. 61 parish priests responded positively to our request for an appeal date. The appeals covered 103 parishes. £37,009.70 was raised through the collections.

To your people in all pastoral areas, thanks simply is not adequate. The scale of generosity in this difficult time is quite humbling. We are all working for the Mission of the Gospel. To be welcomed and treated in such a way as your parish communities did makes our mission that much easier.
Yours faithfully,
Fr Hugh Seenan MAfr,
Missionaries of Africa"

Scam emails about Ukraine

We have been alerted to an email entitled ‘FINANCIAL REQUEST FOR THE EMERGENCY MASS STIPENDS FOR PRIEST FOR THE EXARCHATE OF DONETSK UKRAINE’ being sent to people in our archdiocese. We have checked this with Bishop Gregory in Ukraine and he confirmed that this correspondence is a scam email so please do not respond to the email or send any funds.

 

Please do be vigilant if you receive any emails on this subject matter.

 

If you would like to make any donations to Ukraine, please do so via our #Liverpool4Ukraine appeal as this is a safe and secure way to get your funds directly to the people of Ukraine.
