Laetare Sunday - Sunday 30th March 2025

Sunday 30th March 2025

 Laetare Sunday

 

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!!

 

There is but one and only one,

Whose love will fail you never.

One who lives from sun to sun,

With constant fond endeavour.

 

There is but one and only one

On earth there is no other.

In heaven a noble work was done

When God gave us a Mother.

Each year (Christmas & Easter) we offer the opportunity for people to sponsor a flower display in church in prayer for a loved one who has died or for deceased family and friends.

If you would like to sponsor a display for £20 please see Maureen Mullen personally this year with your money (Maureen is usually available at church on Wednesday mornings, Friday mornings and Sunday mornings). There has been a significant increase to the cost of flowers so if people would like to donate money for flowers in general during the Easter season then please put your donation in an envelope marked 'Flower Money'.

It would be wonderful to have some parish walks again this year however to do that we need people who are willing to facilitate and lead them. If any parishioners would like to volunteer to undertake this then please contact the parish office stmarysoswaldtwistle@dioceseofsalford.co.uk. In the meantime Fr. O'Brien will lead a walk along the Tolkein Trail

 Tolkein Trail Sunday 23rd March (Lent)

The Lord of the Rings reminds us of the power of Good over Evil. It was this landscape in the Ribble valley, around Stonyhurst College, that was meant to have shaped Tolkein's imagination when writing about the home of the Hobbits – The Shire.

Meeting at Hurst Green village car park by the Bayley Arms, 1:30pm

Distance 6 ½ miles 10.5km, Approx 3 hours

It is important to note that each person who joins us will be responsible for themselves and those in their family group.  Children must be accompanied by an adult. Be prepared for muddy hillsides and fells. Bring appropriate footware, clothing and food and drinks for the journey.

We are hoping to begin our Parish Easter Raffle next weekend and it would be great if parishioners could donate only Easter eggs as prizes. If you are able to kindly donate an Easter egg then please pass them to one of the stewards at the back of church.

Foodbank Donations

One of our parishioner's, Jackie Ringer who many of you will know from Mass and St. Mary's Rainbows, is hoping to re-establish our Foodbank Donation Box.

Oswaldtwistle Churches Together Food Bank, based at Rhyddings Methodist Church, Chapel Street, Oswaldtwistle opened in 2013. Members of St Mary's parish were involved in the original set up and volunteered on a regular basis over a period of time. St Mary's was a collection point with a food donation box at the back of church. Covid arrived and the collections ceased. As Lent is approaching I am asking that we resurrect the box and ask my fellow parishioners to donate food items and/or toiletries. I will oversee this and will take the items on a regular basis to the foodbank. Many Thanks Jackie   

This weekend there will be a labelled donation box at the back of church for all those who would like to contribute. For more information or any questions for Jackie please email the parish office – stmarysoswaldtwistle@dioceseofsalford.org.uk - and we'll forward them on.
