- Check out the cathedral website for some lovely articles.
- Father Jamie continues with his daily mass from Cathedral house (As he films 12:45 Mass, today’s Mass is available from around 1:30pm) here: https://www.stmaryscathedral.co.uk/filming
- Sunday Mass at the Cathedral is available on the same link
- Fr Patrick is excelling himself with his weekly Homily in the Newsletter – not to be missed! His Holy Week homilies are still available on the Cathedral website.
- Attached is a copy of last Sunday’s newsletter for those who have not yet seen it (see below)
- There are many really beautiful pastoral resources available from the Archdiocesan website – for all the family. Matt Meade, our Communications Director is clearly working hard to keep this site fresh and interesting.
- Sunday Mass with the Archbishop; Also Sunday Mass in Polish and in the Syro Malabar rite.
- A lovely feature by our own Sr Mary Simone RSM on St Catherine of Siena for her feast day earlier this week
- Did you know there are links from the Archdiocesan website to access some really moving videos (on Facebook & Youtube)?
- The documentary called “Priests School” is available on BBC IPlayer. This follows Scottish seminarians whilst in Scots College Rome. There appear to be a few Celtic FC hopefuls in there…….. You will recognise our seminarian Martin, who assists Fr Jamie in his daily masses from Cathedral House.
- Pope Francis has asked us all to recite the Rosary daily with him through this month of May, traditionally dedicated to Our Blessed Mother. He has provided two special Marian prayers (for this time of pandemic) to be said after our daily rosary. These are available from the Archdiocesan website. Attached is a document with these special prayers for ease of printing off a copy to keep with your rosary (see below)
- 3) There are some beautiful childrens colouring-in books available on the Pauline Books & Media website, which I can highly recommend. The Rosary is one of them. The link is here if you are interested: https://www.paulineuk.org/browse?Keywords=colouring%20books&page=2
Please stay safe & take care.
God Bless

Parish Council
A reminder to members of the parish council that we will meet this Tuesday at 7.30pm in the parish rooms.
Parish AGM, Sunday 11th June, 2pm
We hope that many of you will be able to join us at the Parish AGM next Sunday. As always, this meeting will include a review of all Parish matters over the past year, including our financial position. Therefore, I would like to draw your attention to the fact that a copy of the 2016 Parish Accounts is already on the noticeboard in the Parish Rooms should you wish to review them. Any questions that you have regarding the accounts can be raised during the meeting, although you may wish to send them via email in advance to finance@stmaryscathedral.co.uk to ensure we can answer your questions fully on the day.

Parish Project
Thank you to all those of you who completed a parish project nomination form. At the meeting of the parish council on Tuesday, your votes (of which there were many) were all counted and after review, I am pleased to announce that Fr Nikolas Maria is to become our new parish project beneficiary for the next 3 years. All donations made for ‘Parish Project’, including monies collected in ‘Jessie’s box’ will now be due to Fr Nikolas as described towards the end of last year.
