Sacred Heart Church
Jesus and Mary
Michaelangelo was on the scaffolding high in the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, pausing to take a breath and saw an old lady below saying her prayers. Deciding to play a joke on her, the painter in a deep voice said, “This is Jesus speaking.” The old lady replied, “ Don’t interrupt! I’m speaking to your Mother!”
Relics of St. Thérése of Lisieux
Huge numbers are expected at St. John’s Cathedral Salford this weekend. Our coach leaves the car park at 1.30pm please be here in good time. Apart from the front seats on both sides of the coach sit anywhere - every seat is booked.
The £5 fare per person will be collected on the coach - it will be helpful if you have the correct money.
Thanks to Edwina Lowe who provided the display about St. Thérése.
