Changes at St Anne’s

Roger EleyNews

Below is a post from this week’s Bulletin at St Peter’s Low Fell

On Saturday evening I made a surprise visit to St. Anne’s to celebrate the evening Mass. This gave
me the opportunity to speak to those who were present.
I am in the process of speaking to Bishop Stephen to gain permission to temporarily say four Sun-
day Masses to allow a period of time where discussions can be held across the four parishes in order
to look at the current timings of Mass on Sundays and where they take place. I am sure that you
will appreciate that this is not an easy task to undertake and that I am very conscious that each
parish is protective of the Mass times they currently have. This is why open dialogue is necessary.
I ask that over the next few weeks and months we can all pray for each other and for the process
that we will undertake. I will also ask that we are vigilant when it comes to thinking of our needs
and the needs of others.
Many Prayers, Paul.

CHANGES AT ST ANNE’S

Father Paul announce at mass last week that from 1st May Fr Paul Spellman based at St Peter’s in Low Fell will have pastoral responsibility for St Anne’s.

We will announce in due course what changes, if any, it will mean to mass times and parish administration.
