Sea Sunday 11th July 2021 The second Sunday in July, is when we come together across

the globe to celebrate the role seafarers play in our daily lives. To thank them for the hardships they face and the

sacrifices they have been forced to endure due to the Covid lockdowns. You can join with your church, community group,

school or individually.

From London to Lagos and Manila to Melbourne, our community gathers together to give something back to these essential workers who spend months away from their families in often difficult conditions to help keep our global economy

afloat. Sea Sunday can also be celebrated any day of the year to suit

your church. You can view their first ever global Sea Sunday 2020 service and hear stories about their important

work at www.youtube.com/watch?v=zboLBgJmjiY .

Ask your MP to vote against abortion up to birth

The abortion lobby, led by the UK’s largest abortion provider, BPAS, has worked with Diana Johnson MP to bring forward an

amendment to hijack the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Bill to introduce abortion on demand, for any reason,

up to birth to England and Wales.

This would be the single biggest change to abortion legislation since 1967 and would leave England and Wales with one of

the most extreme abortion laws in the world. We are expecting that this radical proposal will be voted on by MPs

this Monday. Right To Life UK has launched an easy-to-use tool that makes it simple for you to send an email to your MP asking them to

vote against the motion. Please visit the website at for further information

From the Cathedral Dean’s Desk

St. Joseph’s Church and Presbytery, Ordsall As many of you are aware, on the 19th March 2020,

just before the first lockdown was introduced, we celebrated the final Mass ever to be said in St. Joseph’s church, which subsequently marked its closure and the

end of another chapter in the life of the catholic community in Salford. Since that time, we have been in the process of emptying the church and the presbytery of its contents, much of which has now been brought

to its new home here at the Cathedral. However, during this past week, I have received the formal

notice that the church and presbytery will now be demolished in the Autumn, some point after the 6th September. I still do not have any final details of the

demolition but as soon as I know the exact date, I will let you know.

Furthermore, no definitive plans have yet been made about a use for the land on which the church and

presbytery are located but discussions are taking place about a number of possibilities. Therefore, once concrete proposals have finally been produced, a

parish consultation will then take place so that we can discern together, the right way forward for the use of the land. In the meantime, I would like to take

this opportunity to express my deepest gratitude to all of you who have thrown yourselves enthusiastically

into the amalgamation of the two former parishes of St. Joseph and St. John the Evangelist, in order to

create the wonderfully warm, welcoming and vibrant parish community that we have today. It is a privilege and pleasure to serve you as your parish priest. Thank

you to everyone!

Eco Thought of the Week

Each week the Eucharistic Prayer begins with one of a number of Prefaces.

In Ordinary Time one such Preface prays:

“You have laid the foundations of the world and have arranged the changing of times and seasons;

You formed man in your own image and set humanity over the whole world in all its wonder,

to rule in your name over all you have made and for ever praise you in your mighty works,

through Christ our Lord.”

How have succeeding generations exercised that ‘rule’ over all creation?

How will we do so?

Music Group Seeking New Members We are looking for new instrumentalists and singers to

join our Music Group and lead the music for the Sunday 9.15am Mass each week. We have a rehearsal

from 7pm-8.30pm on the first Wednesday of each month as well at 8.40am before Mass each Sunday.

Enthusiastic singers of all ages are very welcome to join us, as well any instrumentalists, particularly guitarists or keyboard players. You do not have to be able read music!

If you are interested in joining us, please contact Alex Patterson alex.patterson@dioceseofsalford.org.uk
