Please pray for all who have recently died including Diane Martyn and Antony Gray. Please remember their families in your prayers.
Fr Greg writes As we begin the ninth week in Ordinary Time we celebrate today the Solemnity of The Most Holy Trinity. In this Sunday’s Gospel, we hear some of the most loved and profound words in Scripture: “God so loved the world that he gave his only Son…” In the mystery of the Holy Trinity, we encounter a God who is not distant, but who is love itself – Father, Son and Holy Spirit, united in perfect communion and reaching out to us in mercy and salvation. Jesus reminds us that God did not send His Son to condemn the world, but to save it. We are invited to place our trust in that love and to live as people transformed by it, reflecting God’s compassion, forgiveness and faithfulness in our homes, communities and parish family.
The Holy Father’s prayer intention for June is for the values of sport: that sports be an instrument of peace, encounter, and dialogue among cultures and nations, and that they promote values such as respect, solidarity, and personal growth. We pray that sport may always bring people together, especially young people, fostering friendship, teamwork and mutual understanding across communities and nations.
Please keep in your prayers the diocesan priests who are gathered in conference this week, that it may be a time of encouragement, fraternity and renewal in their ministry. Please also pray for me as I take a period of annual leave, with my classmates from Seminary days. Sincere thanks to Fr Frank Carvill, who incidentally went to the same Seminary as me (San Albano, The English College, Valladolid, Spain) who will kindly celebrate the Masses in New Mills and Marple Bridge during my absence.

The Holy Spirit (by Anne Shimwell)
Sometimes the Holy Spirit comes in fire, wind and power,
Sometimes a whisper in the breeze, a quiet, holy hour.
Sometimes He pushes us to act with energy and zeal,
Sometimes a tiny gentle nudge is all that we can feel.
But if we trust Him, He will come and guide us on our way.
Be ready. Listen to his voice.
He is here today.
On 25 May, the Vatican released Pope Leo XIV’s first encyclical, MAGNIFICA HUMANITAS, on safeguarding the human person in the time of artificial intelligence. Magnifica Humanitas means “ Magnificent humanity ” and is about how we preserve the wonder and glory of the human person in the age of artificial intelligence. Pope Leo reminds us all of our dignity as human persons, made in the image and likeness of God. Our diversity is a richness and all we do must seek the common good of all people, especially those who are poor, vulnerable or marginalised. The Pope’s message asks us to work together to address the causes of inequality and injustice both now and as we look to the future. You can find a video and a series of infographics to guide you to a deeper understanding of Magnifica Humanitas Click to read more ...

At the First Holy Communion Mass on 17th May, the PPC, on behalf of us all, made a presentation to Mrs Julia Wiggins and she has written to us: " I want to say a very big thank you for the beautiful flowers and card I received at the end of the First Holy Communion Mass, on the occasion of my retirement as the headteacher of St. Anne's Catholic Voluntary Academy. I have come to know many of you well in the years I was a parishioner at St. Anne's, including those I met in my ministry as a reader and as a welcomer. I miss the parish and you all very much, and it was a joy to see many of you. The school, parish and parishioners will always have a special place in my heart. Thank you again and God Bless. Julia "
