NEWS AND INFORMATION
NEW PASTORAL RESPONSIBILITIES: Fr Tony Elder, Parish Priest of our neighbouring parish of St Winefride, Lymm will retire at the beginning of September. Bishop Mark has asked me to take over as Parish Priest in Lymm in addition to my duties here at St Vincent’s. Initially, Fr Tony, will continue to say one Sunday Mass either at Lymm or here in Knutsford but inevitably there will be a need to reduce Masses. Sadly, we will discontinue the Vigil Mass on Saturdays here at St Vincent’s from2 September. There will also be some reduction in weekday Masses. When the time comes that Fr Tony is unable to celebrate a public Mass on Sundays, we will have to make further adjustments to Mass times Please pray for our own Parish and St Winefride’s at this time of transition and for me and Fr Tony.
MASS ON TUESDAY at 9.30am will be in school. All are welcome.
