'Wrecsam Clarion'
The New Digital Diocesan Newsletter Welcome to the October edition of 'The Clarion' the new Digital Diocesan Newsletter. Please click the button below to read the latest issue .The Jubilee Prayer
Father in heaven, may the faith you have given us in your son, Jesus Christ, our brother, and the flame of charity enkindled in our hearts by the Holy Spirit, reawaken in us the blessed hope for the coming of your Kingdom. May your grace transform us into tireless cultivators of the seeds of the Gospel. May those seeds transform from within both humanity and the whole cosmos in the sure expectation of a new heaven and a new earth, when, with the powers of Evil vanquished, your glory will shine eternally. May the grace of the Jubilee reawaken in us, Pilgrims of Hope, a yearning for the treasures of heaven. May that same grace spread the joy and peace of our Redeemer throughout the earth. To you our God, eternally blessed, be glory and praise for ever. Amen Old copies of “The Tablet” Some old copies of “The Tablet” will be placed in the porch from time to time – to be taken away and read by anyone who would like to do so.For the hard-of-hearing

Our parish is open and is inclusive to all who come to pray within. Together, let us continue to build a community of care, trust, and safety for all in an open honest, tolerant and receptive manner. If you have any concerns about the welfare of a child or vulnerable adult, or if you wish to speak with someone about a safeguarding issue, please contact our Parish Safeguarding Representative or the Diocesan Safeguarding Office.
October – the month of the
Rosary
It is hoped that the Rosary will be prayed
this Sunday before the 10am Mass at
9.30am – and so for all the Sunday’s of
October.
World Mission Sunday
19 October World Mission Sunday is observed annually on the second to last Sunday of October, and this year it falls on 19 October. It’s a day when Catholics around the world come together in prayer, solidarity, and support for the Church’s overseas mission work. For World Mission Day in the Jubilee Year 2025, the central message of which is hope (cf. Bull Spes Non Confundit, 1), Pope Francis chose the motto: ‘Missionaries of Hope Among all Peoples’. It reminds individual Christians and the entire Church, the community of the baptised, of our fundamental vocation to be, in the footsteps of Christ, messengers and builders of hope. I trust that it will be for everyone a time of grace with the faithful God who has given us new birth in the risen Christ ‘to a living hope’ (cf. 1 Peter 1:3-4). Read More….
