Family Day and Confirmations

A little late to announce it, but this Sunday will be Family Day at Burslem again; the themes this time being Our Lady of Fatima and The Sacrament of Confirmation.

Bp. McGough offering Pontifical High Mass

The reason for the second theme is that Bishop David McGough will later be celebrating the Sacrament of Confirmation in the Traditional Rite (beginning about 5 o'clock) and a number of younger members of the community will be confirmed. Bishop McGough will also be present in choir for the Solemn High Mass that will follow at the usual time of 6pm and will include the First Holy Communion of the younger brother of one of the confirmands.
