Bishop Swarbrick
Please pray for our Bishop who received a serious head injury while cycling on Friday. He has been discharged from hospital and is at home recovering
Fr. Peter Gooden.
Fr Gooden died peacefully after being ill for some time. Eternal rest grant unto him O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon him. May he rest in peace. Amen
Our prayers and sympathy to Fr. Peter's brother Bernard and his family and to the Diocese of Salford.

The Catholic Bishops of England and Wales recognise that this time of the COVID-19 pandemic is affecting every person in our countries. Those who are sick, and their families, are suffering many hardships of isolation from contact with those they love. Our front-line workers in hospitals and in care homes all over our lands are giving exceptional service to those who are vulnerable at this time.
