As many of you are aware I am in Lourdes. The first week I am the chaplain to the sick on our Diocesan pilgrimage. The second week I am a chaplain with the annual Ampleforth pilgrimage. Our Sunday Masses will take place as normal and will be celebrated by Father Maurice Pearce (thank you Fr Maurice). Having had a conversation with some parishioners I have decided that there will be no weekday Masses in the parish when I am away. However, for those who can make the journey there is the usual programme of weekday Masses at the Cathedral https://www.dioceseofleeds.org.uk/cathedral/ Of course, as always, I am happy to take with me any prayer intentions you may have and I will offer the intentions of the people of the parish at the Diocesan Mass at the Grotto, This will be livestreamed from Lourdes on Wednesday the 8th of July at 09:00am UK time. The link for this is Lourdes Live TV (24/7): Grotto Webcam & Holy Rosary At least one of our parishioners is going as an assisted pilgrim, and at least two are going as members of the carer team, as they have done for many years. Please pray for us as we will pray for you. Fr Chris
