Thank you to those parishioners who contacted Lancashire County Council and MP Oliver Ryan regarding the council's ill-considered proposals to close so many roads around St Mary's on match days. 
In addition to the parish newsletter appleal and all those who signed the petition, over 200 people visited the relevant page on this website. Hopefully common sense (and sanity!) will prevail and the propsals be amended/cancelled accordingly. 

 

 

CAFOD Venezuela Earthquake Appeal - As you will have no doubt seen in the news, the situation in Northern Venezuela is dire after two devastating earthquakes struck in quick succession near Caracas last Wednesday night, 24th June. Our thoughts and prayers are with all the people of Venezuela whose needs are so great at this time. Many of our neighbours in Venezuela were already struggling with basic needs and services, so your support will be needed beyond the vital search and rescue work happening right now. To find out more and how you can donate visit the parish CAFOD Group webpage:
