As many of you are aware I am in Lourdes. The first week I was the chaplain to the sick on our Diocesan pilgrimage. The second week I was 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/  As I do every day I will commend to the Lord your needs and intentions and in Lourdes offer Masses for these as well. All the services from the Grotto are livestreamed from Lourdes. The link for this is Lourdes Live TV (24/7) Lourdes Live TV (24/7): Grotto Webcam & Holy Rosary Our normal programme will resume with effect from the First Mass of Sunday on Saturday the 18th . Please pray for me as I pray for you. Fr Chris
