Crypt Crypt Chapel STV St. Vincent de Paul Parish Church SS - 55 Seel St, Missionaries of Charity RLUH - Royal Liverpool University Hospital CLERGY: PRIESTS: Canon Anthony O’Brien Dean Mgr Peter Cookson Fr Gerard Callacher Fr Stephen Lee DEACONS: Rev Noel Abbott Rev Paul Mannings Since the beginning of September Cathedral life has been gearing back up to its normal hectic schedule and there should be plenty to keep us all busy over these next few months. With all the Cathedral Departments now back to full strength following the summer holidays, we come together to celebrate our Community Mass at 11.00am today - it is an opportunity for us all to recognise the important part all play in supporting and building the life of our Cathedral and to call on God’s Blessing for the year ahead. Benedictine Monks will lead a special evening prayer this Monday in Latin as part of events in the year of consecrated life. This will be at 4.00pm in the Blessed Sacrament Chapel followed by a talk on the Benedictine Life in the Gibberd Room. They have extended a general invite to anyone who would like to join them for this. Next Tuesday we begin the first in a series of five weekly talks reflecting on the legacy of the Second Vatican Council. This week Archbishop Malcolm reflects upon the document ‘Nostra Aetate’ on the church’s relationship with other faiths and how this has led to significant changes in the way we deal and relate to those of other religions over the last fifty years. The talks take place in the Gibberd Room at 7.00pm. On Friday ‘The Sixteen’ will be performing in the Cathedral as part of their 2015 Choral tour entitled ‘Flight of Angels’. They will be singing music by Francisco Guerrero and Alonso Lobo, Spanish Renaissance composers who directed the music in Seville Cathedral during the sixteenth century. (tickets available from the Cathedral shop). On Friday Bishop Vincent Malone will celebrate his Diamond Jubilee as a priest. We offer him our congratulations and best wishes on reaching this milestone of 60 years service as a priest – some of those years as Auxiliary Bishop of the Diocese and others as Dean (administrator, as it was then known) of our Cathedral and prior to that as University Chaplain. He will preside at the Solemn Mass next Sunday. The Daughters of St Paul are also celebrating their centenary at a special mass at 4.00pm in the Cathedral next Sunday. They were founded in 1915 by Blessed James Alberione with the first Daughter of St Paul the Venerable Tecla Merlo in the town of Alba in Italy. They first arrived in England in 1955 and four years later received an invitation from a parish priest in Widnes to come and work in the parish, living in a house next to the parish church. From there the sisters visited families and schools throughout the Diocese. The sisters moved to a convent in Mossley Hill in 1966 and acquired the bookshop in Richmond Street. After acquiring further premises which had been the former Burns and Oates book shop, they eventually moved to their present site on Bold Street in 1973 selling these two former premises. When the sisters first arrived in the Archdiocese little was known of their charism to spread the word of God through all our modern means of communication. Through the witness of so many sisters who have served in Liverpool over the years they have provided a valuable resource for people to discover or to deepen and develop their faith in Christ. Archbishop Malcolm will preside at this mass and you would be most welcome to join with the sisters in giving thanks to God for all that has been achieved through his grace and the commitment of so many members of the Daughters of St Paul. There will be a retiring collection at all the masses next weekend for Home Mission Sunday and there will also be a Pastoral Letter from Archbishop Malcolm. 13 September 2015 Twenty-Fourth Sunday of Ordinary Time Mass Intentions Received Lots of news WEEK COMMENCING: 13 September 2015 Mass & Service Times All services take place in the cathedral unless marked otherwise Special Intentions, Gerard Webb (RIP), Holy Souls, Eddie O’Neill (Birthday Remembrance), Edward and Evelyn Kenny (RIP), Linda Lea (RIP), Tom Quayle (Anniversary), Kevin Clarke (Intentions), Carmel Traynor (Intentions), Traynor Family, Joe Kenny (RIP), Syd McKeon (RIP), Kenny Powell (RIP), Trisha Jones (Anniversary), Noelie McGloughan (Anniversary), Roy and Gary Fell (Intention), Mary Roche and Family (Intentions), Fr Pat Foley (Intention), Peter Feney (Intention), Kathleen and Tom Woods (50 TH Wedding Anniversary), Joyce Hillman (RIP), Norma Comerford (RIP), Bernadette Lawless (RIP), Thomas McGuirk (RIP), William Heague (RIP), David Burke (RIP), Joseph McGarry (RIP), Martha Connolly (Anniversary), Bernard Connolly (Birthday Remembrance), John Jonson (RIP), James Hanson (Buhagiar) (RIP), John Farrelly (70 th Birthday), Mary Catherine and Jim Loftus (In Memoriam), George S Harrison (Remembrance), Joan Hodge (RIP), Vera Naughalty (RIP).
