HABEAMUS PAPAM. POPE LEO XIV.
Bishop of Rome, Vicar of Jesus Christ, Successor of the Prince of the Apostles, Supreme Pontiff of the Universal Church, Primate of Italy, Archbishop and Metropolitan of the Roman Province, Sovereign of the Vatican City State, Servant of the servants of God.
Let us pray for the pope.
May the Lord preserve him, give him a long life, make him blessed upon the earth, and not hand him over to the power of his enemies.
May your hand be upon your holy servant.
And upon your son, whom you have anointed.
Contacting Fr Simon
As you are probably aware, Fr Simon will not be resident at Euxton until essential renovations of the Presbytery are completed, and therefore at the moment will only be at Euxton to celebrate Mass (and other Services) and for arranged meetings.
We don't have an office staff, so it isn't advisable to rely on messages left on the answerphone..... consequently the best method of contact is via the parish email stmary.euxton@rcaol.org.uk
Obviously you can see Fr Simon after Mass if you wish to do so.
Given the recent major changes quite a few of the parish contact points mentioned on the website are now out of date, If you need to contact the parish and are unsure of who you need, please send an email to the Parish email address.
Communicating with you

 April 3 A lovely evening with St Mary's School presenting the Passion in words and song this evening... and I must say, very well done! |  March 30 I asked the children to bring a few flowers for our Lady on Mothering Sunday to bring up in the procession at the start of Mass. Careful what you ask for! We had armfuls! Thanks to our school staff, Mrs Noblet for shepherding them. May the Mother of us all take care of all our mothers! |
 March 25 A blessed feast of the Annunciation to all from the parish of St Mary and St Catherine. Br Dominik of Blackfriars, Oxford has been with us since Sunday Mass. We pray for him in his vocation. |  March 19 A Blessed Feast Day of St Joseph to everyone from our Mass this morning! O Joseph, virgin father of Jesus, most pure spouse of the Virgin Mary, pray for us daily to the Son of God, that, armed with the weapons of His grace, we may fight as we ought in life, and be crowned by Him in death. Amen. |
 March 5 One of our schools in church today for pupils to receive their Lenten Ashes. Come back to me with all your heart! |  March 4 Happy Holy Face Feast Day! 'O Jesus, whose adorable Face ravishes my heart, I implore Thee to fix deep within me Thy divine image and set me on fire with Thy Love, that I may be found worthy to come to the contemplation of Thy glorious Face in Heaven.' - St Therese of Lisieux |
Installation of Fr Simon
 February 21 A wonderful occasion last Sunday with Archbishop Malcolm visiting the parish to officially install me as Parish Priest of St Mary and St Catherine. Thanks to the Dean, Fr Graeme Dunne and for Anthony Dickinson's enthusiastic encouragement for the children's choir! Thank you to the altar servers, those who prepared and served buffet afterwards and to David Barton for taking these great photos. Thank you to all who helped out in any way last week. |  |
