Polite notice: could parishioners travelling to church by car for the 9.30am and 11.00am Sunday masses, please ensure that if you park in the main car park that you are parked in a designated marked parking space. The dial a ride service mini bus, provided for our elderly parishioners had considerable trouble exiting the car park after 11.00 mass today due to cars being parked at the end of the rows.

What a truly wonderful celebration we had at St.Gregory’s yesterday in honour of Canon Richard “Dick’ Firth who died just a year ago & who’s mortal remains are buried in the home of his birth - Ireland. But so loved was he at Weldbank that we had a Celtic cross commissioned & yesterday Archbishop Malcolm dedicated it to him after a beautiful Mass concelebrated with Fthr Graeme, Monsignor McKenna, Fthr Mayne, Canon Kelly, Fthr Robinson. Monsignor gave a humorous & moving tribu...te to ‘Dick’........ just perfectly summing him up..... after the dedication of the memorial all 255 of us had a super delicious lunch provided by Campbell Rowley’s from Blackpool - really fab food served by an equally really lovely team directed by Oscar Rowley. The marquee again was through an awesome team Premier Event Marquees - Phil & Jamie De Cobin. Top job guys......
