Awaken Your
Catholic Faith
Sometimes important
things get away from us
things like faith.
Is this you? Too busy?
Not been to church in a while? Children asking questions
about faith that youre not sure how to answer? Looking for
an opportunity to explore your faith? Were you baptized and
then not confirmed or didn't make your first communion? Do
you know people who are in this position?
Awakening Faith will be just right for you. This is a
six week programme which includes topics such as
Spirituality Can I Accept Gods Mercy? Can the Mass
Make My Life Meaningful? and The Church and Me. You
can learn and ask questionsall in a friendly and confidential
setting with other parishioners.
Please tell other people about this six week
programmethey will all be made most welcome.
If you would be interested in attending or would like
more information about it, please call the Parish Office on
0161 764 1630 or e-mail us on: olgcga@btinternet.com.
If you would like to join us, please complete the form below and return to the Parish Office, and we will be in
touch with you.
Thinking of
becoming a
Catholic?
Seeking Christ is a programme aimed at people who want to look at the Catholic
church, who have either been baptised in another Christian
tradition or never been baptised.
Initially there are eight sessions in the programme to
help welcome and engage those who are thinking of possibly
becoming a Catholic. There is of course no obligation after
completing the eight week programme, but if people decide
they would then like to move forward to becoming a catholic
we can then help them to move forward.
If you know of people who might be interested in this
programme please let them know about it. If they want any
further information they can contact the Parish Office on
0161 764 1630 or by e-mail on olgcga@btinternet.com
If you would like to join us, please complete the form below and return to the Parish Office, and we will be in

MONDAY 31st
AUGUST
2015
Our Social Events Group are looking into the possibilities of
organising A Day at the Races on the August Bank Holiday Monday
(31st August).
To establish whether this is going to run we need an indication of
people who would like to go, so that within a week or so we can buy the
admission tickets in advance (which are cheaper than paying on the day)
and also get a firm booking for a coach.
We estimate that it could be around the 20.00 per person mark
(including admission & coach), but obviously this might go up or down
a little bit according to the numbers interested. Children under the age of
16 get into the racecourse for free (as long as they are accompanied by
an adult of course! - so they would only have to pay for the coach).
If you would like to book a place on this Parish outing, please put
you name on the list at the back of church, and then we can decide if the
day out will go ahead. Please sign up this weekend or next weekend. As
soon as we have an indication of the interest we will publish the full
details.

Jesus: A Pilgrimage
Fr James Martin, SJ brings the Gospels to life in Jesus:
A Pilgrimage, providing an experience of J esus through
Scripture, prayer and travel. Combining insights of historical
Jesus studies with profound spiritual insights about the Christ
of faith, he recreates the world of first-century Galilee and
Judea to usher us into Jesus's life and times and show readers
how Jesus speaks to us today.
Fr Martin brings together the most up-to-date Scripture
scholarship, wise spiritual reflections, and light-hearted stories about travelling through the Holy Land with a fellow Jesuit, visiting important sites in the life of Jesus of Nazareth.
This is an excellent book by Fr James Martin SJ. After the
summer holidays we are planning to set up a scripture study
group, using this book as the text, because it covers the whole
of Jesus life and ministry.
The book is a little expensive (we can get copies at
18.99 a copy (its only available in hardback at the moment) but you might be able to pick it up cheaper on internet book
sites, and you can certainly get it for a kindle or ipad a lot
cheaper (I think I paid less than 5.00 for it for my ipad).
We will set up the group in Septemberthis is just to
give you a little notice about itand we will be exploring the
content of each chapter and looking at the different scriptural
passages.
We will have an order form for the book on next
weeks newsletter for those who want us to get hold of a copy
of it for youand we will give you more details over the next
few weeks.
