On Saturday 11th July a total of 850 delegates from Dioceses across England and Wales will gather in Birmingham for Proclaim15 – Creating Missionary Parishes. There are 40 representatives from our Diocese taking part including Deacon Paul Mannings from the Cathedral. Archbishop Malcolm along with Cardinal Nichols and all the Bishops of England and Wales have requested that every parish hold a holy hour on that day to create a network of prayer to intercede for the work of evangelisation. Due to the various activities already taking place in the Cathedral that day we will have a period of Exposition prior to our two evening Masses. At the Cathedral there will be Exposition from 5.30pm until 6.25pm and at St Vincent’s from 5.30pm until 6pm. “The primary reason for evangelising is the love of Jesus which we have received, the experience of salvation which urges us to ever greater love of Him. What kind of love would not feel the need to speak of the beloved, to point Him out, to make Him known? If we do not feel an intense desire to share this love, we need to pray insistently that he will once more touch our heart.”

The Sea Sunday retiring collection will be taken next weekend. The collection supports the work of the Apostleship of the Sea. A decision was taken some years ago to run a joint Anglican/Roman Catholic Seafarers Centre (formerly Colonsay House) for seamen who were in the Mersey ports instead of two individual denominational centres. The work of the Apostleship of the Sea is carried out by providing hospitality and support and pastoral care at this joint centre and also in providing for chaplains to visit the ships that are often in port for a very short time. Please support this work by your prayers and also by contributing to the collection next week.

This week there will be an evening’s Prize Giving at the Cathedral on Thursday for the pupils and parents of Runnymede. On Friday at 10.00am there will be a Mass for Year 7 children from primary schools within the Liverpool city area praying for them as they finish at their existing schools and as they prepare to move on to Secondary Education. Bishop Williams will preside at the Mass. The school holidays begin the following week and our Cathedral Choirs will break for summer recess after the liturgies next weekend.

There are two ordinations of priests to serve within the Diocese this month. This weekend Matthew Jolley will be ordained in St Benedict and St Oswald parish, Warrington and Stephen Lee, who is due to replace Fr Liam as assistant priest at the Cathedral, will be ordained at St Marie’s, Standish on 18th July. Please pray for them as they begin their service within the Diocese as newly ordained priests. According to current information there will be at least five priests retiring from their current posts this summer which will prompt a chain of moves across the Diocese. Not so much a cabinet re-shuffle as a breaching of the dyke where the biggest gaps appear. Also for the first time that I can remember there are no ordinations to the permanent diaconate this year.

ST VINCENT’S LOTTERY NUMBERS For week commencing 27 June. Winning numbers are 1, 6, 7, 9, 11 and 13. Prize was £650. There were no winners. Next week the prize money will be £700.

ST NICHOLAS’ SCHOOL We have taken advantage of the beautiful weather and began the week with a ‘big picnic’ with Grab and Go lunches. Children from years 4 and 5 represented St Nicholas at a cricket tournament earlier in the week. Year 2 children took part in Tesco’s ‘Farm to Fork’ programme, were they learnt about where some of our foods come from (and dunked donuts too!). With only a couple of weeks left in this academic year, our Y6 pupils spent a day at their new secondary schools to help them to prepare for the transition in September. Next week is health week in school. There are 5 challenges that we will be learning about during the week. How healthy are you? Do you eat a healthy breakfast? Do you eat the recommended 5 portions of fruit and vegetables a day? Do you drink plenty of water (a necessity during these warmer spells)? Do you keep active? Have you tried something new recently to be healthier? A big thank you to Mrs Cook for organising the week. Finally, another thank you goes to Miss Stanley, who has worked with Y4 in producing a display in the Crypt about Building Relationships as part of their Come and See topic work. Please take a moment to look at the Y4’s “bridge of hands” when you are next in the Crypt.

HOPE+ NEWS It has been quite a busy time at Hope+ these last few weeks. Last week saw the launch of the Jackson Canter Foundation; a charitable arm of this major law firm, which aim to support local charities that are reaching out to the most disadvantaged in our society. Hope+ was very pleased to have been selected as one of the first three organisations who will benefit, not just financially, but also from the staff of Jackson Canter giving their time to volunteer with us, which will enable us to provide a very high standard of advice and care for all our guests. Our thanks to Andrew Holroyd and all the staff at Jackson Canter. We also received some very significant financial support from the Community of the Shrine of the Blessed Sacrament, who have been providing us with very generous support for some time now, for which we are hugely grateful. Whilst on the subject of generous financial support, we received a phone call from our partners at the Metropolitan Cathedral to say they had some money for us last week. This is not unusual, as we have always received very generous support from them. What was unusual was a cheque for £1,000 from a private individual, which is an example of the quiet, unfussy, but quite magnificent support we receive from the people of Liverpool. In other news: we shall be launching a new App in the next few days. This will be free and available to download from the Apple iStore and Google

Play. It will enable you to make financial donations to us via Just Giving, and also plan your food donations as you will be able to see what our shortage items are via the App. Despite all of the above we are still a very long way from achieving our #FillTheseShelves objective. As we are so busy at present, as fast as donations come in they are going out again. If you can make any donation of food or toiletries from our lists we would be very grateful; however at present we really need tinned fish, pasta and curry sauce, long life fruit juice, and UHT milk.

STUDENT HOUSE From September a new student residence in the cathedral convent will be offering the support of a shared common life and a Christian setting for study, run by Chemin Neuf Community. For applications & enquiries email 18-30.uk@chemin-neuf.org or call Kate on 07866 794 363. Chemin Neuf Community is a Roman Catholic Community with an ecumenical vocation. It is present in 30 countries and has married, celibate and ordained members. CATHOLIC CHAPLAINCY The Catholic Chaplaincy at the Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen Hospitals is looking for new volunteers to join their successful team. The duties of the volunteers include visiting patients on the wards, informing them about how we can assist with their spiritual needs during their hospital stay, praying with them, and bringing them Holy Communion. You would come in for about two hours one morning

or afternoon a week. You don't have to be an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion for some of the roles, and full training and support will be given. If you are interested in this very rewarding work, please call Natasha on 0151 706 2828 or email natasha.pritchard@rlbuht.nhs.uk Thank you!  

CATHEDRAL CONCERTS SOCIETY Is looking for volunteers to help out at their concerts. You would be replacing the loyal stalwarts whose help has been invaluable for many years, namely Aileen and Phil Dobbins and Josie and her friends. We cannot thank them enough for all their willing assistance. However, they have now retired, leaving a huge gap. We need help for Front of House, e.g. selling programmes, refreshments, etc. If you think you would like to offer your services or need more information, please contact Jean on 709 5546 or 07759 851 702.

CAR BOOT SALE The next one will take place on Saturday 11 July. Ring now to book your pitch. Pitches are only £10. Please note that we hardly have any good quality items to sell on our stall. Remember that any money we raise from the stall goes directly to the Cathedral. Please have a good clear out and donate to us anything that we can sell. We are particularly pleased to receive furniture so if that old table and chairs or settee is taking up room in your garage let us know! Many thanks.
