Participating in Adoration
The bishops of England and Wales will hold a National Eucharistic Pilgrimage and Congress in Liverpool 7–9 September 2018.
As part of the preparatory information, the Spirituality Committtee has written a series of reflections on the ways we participate in Adoration. Each leaflet considers a posture or attitude of prayerful participation and includes: scripture, image, prayer and reflection. We will be distributing these at the Masses this weekend and subsequent weekends. These leaflets and other materials are at  http://www.liturgyoffice.org.uk/Resources/Adoremus/index.shtml#Rite

The bishops of England and Wales will hold a National Eucharistic Pilgrimage and Congress in Liverpool 7–9 September 2018. Eucharistic Congresses are gatherings of clergy, religious and laity which promote an awareness of the central place of the Eucharist in the life and mission of the Church.

The month of May has long been dedicated to Mary, the Mother of God. Pope Paul VI wrote “For this is the month during which Christians, in their churches and their homes, offer the Virgin Mother more fervent and loving acts of homage and veneration; and it is the month in which a greater abundance of God’s merciful gifts comes down to us from our Mother’s throne.” For more information on Mary, click here -> The Story of Mary – Lexie

Road works: Road works are taking place on Poynton’s shared space on each Sunday up to and including 22nd April 2018, 7:00am to midnight. When traffic queues build up, this affects all roads in central Poynton, and any car journeys to and from St Paul’s Church are likely to take longer than normal. Also work on SEMMs (the through road from the A6 to Manchester airport), may result in local traffic queues. Up to date information is at Poynton Town Council website with relevant web site links.
