“The Perfect Valentine’s Gift for your Beloved…”
Instead of the boring old flowers and a box of chocolates why not buy your special someone a Valentines gift to remember?
On Friday 6th March the wildly popular Scottish Duo “Phil and Aly” will be playing in the Cathedral and on Saturday 7th our very own Barbara Dickson will be performing. Why not surprise your beloved with a night to remember? The performers are giving their time free to help the Cathedral and all profits from these events will go to the improvement, maintenance and preservation of our beautiful Cathedral.
Tickets can be bought through the Parish Office or at Eventbrite.
There will also be tickets for sale after all Masses next weekend. Please come along and please spread the word about these unique concerts.
Sick Visitations on Monday the 3rd February
The priests will be visiting all the sick and housebound in both parishes this week (all those who are on our Sick List). If you know any of the housebound – please let them know that we will be visiting. If you know of anyone who is sick and is not receiving regular visits from the clergy and from Eucharistic Ministers, do let us know by contacting the Parish Office.
Have you been Confirmed?
For many and various reasons, sometimes people never actually get confirmed. If you are an adult who has never been confirmed, the Cathedral will be running a course for you during Lent this year with a view to Confirmation at the Easter Vigil on the 11th of April. Meetings will take place on Monday nights at 7pm in the Cathedral Café. To register, please contact the Parish Office.
Pray for our Seminarians
Right now, our Parish is blessed to have three of our parishioners studying for the priesthood. Please keep Alessio Marchetti (second year), Peter Shankland (first year) and Paul Henderson (first year) in your prayers as they prepare to serve Christ and his Church.
This Sunday is the World Day for Consecrated Life, so please pray for the young men and women of our parish that God may grant them the grace to respond courageously to his call to the priesthood or religious life.
If you are thinking about your vocation, please talk to Father Patrick or Father Jamie, or contact Father Andrew Garden: vocations@staned.org.uk, or Sister Mirjam Hugens: religiousvocations@staned.org.uk.
