Parishes of St Chad and St Bede
A message from Fr Mark
Dear Friends,
I’m keeping you all in my prayers more than ever during these uncertain and worrying weeks. I remember you especially at Mass each day, which is strange without your physical presence. The blessing at the end of Mass is a special moment for me, holding you in my heart as I ask our loving God to be with each one of you wherever you are spending this time.
While our church buildings are closed let’s continue to keep each other in our daily prayers, especially those who are anxious and lonely, those working hard to keep us safe, those caring for the sick and those who are grieving a painful loss.
If you need to speak to a priest please call me on 01257 460154. If you know someone who you think would appreciate a call from me please let me have their phone number.
We have set up a Facebook group to help people keep in touch with each other. Go to Facebook and look for “Parishes of St Chad and St Bede”. Please spread the word about this group if you can.
Masses are being streamed at this time from St Gregory’s Church here in Chorley. If you go to their website, https://www.stgregoryschorley.org.uk and click “our Church” then “livestream” then “schedule” it gives you the times of Mass and other services that are available to watch live on your computer or smartphone. Other churches also have the ability stream their services. More information can be found on our Diocesan Website www.liverpoolcatholic.org.uk where there is link to eight parishes live streaming their services.
Visit our parish websites where more information may be posted as it becomes available.

My God bless you and those you love and keep you in His care.
Fr. Mark
