9th anniversary of Bishop Brewer’s death.

Today is the 9th anniversary of Bishop Brewer’s death. The picture here shows his funeral procession leaving the Cathedral at the end of the Mass. East Road was closed to allow the procession to make its way up the hill to the cemetery, where the Bishop was laid to rest with his predecessors.
Archbishop Cormac Murphy-O’Connor (at that stage not yet a Cardinal) said the Mass and Archbishop Kelly preached.

Maresa Walsh R.I.P

Today at 11:00am there will be a Requiem Mass held at St Wulstans for Maresa Walsh who was sacristan there for 15 years.Maresa died quite suddenly on Sunday 26th April at Blackpool Victoria Hospital. Sadly Maresa's Family were unable to be with her when she died, however she died peacefully how she would of liked in the company of Fr. J. Winstanley (Sacred Heart Blackpool) after receiving the Last Rites of the Catholic Church. After the Mass there is a reception in the Green Hut - Everyone Welcome!
We pray for Maresa's Family - Lena, Maria, Diane, Robert, Gillian, Rob & Tomas.

Some of you may remember Maresa as the Last Mayoress of Fleetwood (pictured to right), before Wyre Borough Council took over.
