CORPUS CHRISTI PROCESSION

Following the 10.00am Mass on Sunday 7th June

Next Weekend is the Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ, Corpus Christi.

There will be a Procession of the Blessed Sacrament to witness to our Catholic faith and belief in the real presence in the Eucharist.

We will leave the back of Church and process down Queen street where an Altar will be erected by the Sisters and Benediction will take place.

The children who celebrated their First Holy Communion this year have been asked to wear their outfits again and join the procession. It would also be lovely if parishioners could bring flower petals to scatter before the Blessed Sacrament.

Adoremus in aeternum Sanctissimum Sacramentum!

CONSULTATION RESOURCES

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

As you will be aware, the Holy Father, Pope Leo XIV, has appointed me Apostolic Administrator of the Diocese of Middlesbrough and of the Diocese of Hallam, in addition to my ministry as the Bishop of Leeds.

In entrusting me with this responsibility, the Holy Father has also invited the faithful of the dioceses of Middlesbrough, Hallam and Leeds to undertake an important task: to explore the possibility of how our three dioceses can work together in close collaboration with a view to a possible future union as one diocesan family, so that we may be better placed to carry forward the mission of the Church in our region.

As well as the consultation meetings taking place across our dioceses, there is also an opportunity for all of the clergy, religious and lay faithful in all three dioceses to contribute to this consultation, either individually or as a parish group, by completing the online questionnaire.

I encourage the faithful within our dioceses to devote time and prayerful reflection upon these questions before offering a response, so that the Holy Spirit may guide us through this important process of consultation and discernment.

To assist in this, prayer resources and a presentation have been made available below to help ensure that this period of reflection is fruitful.

I kindly ask that responses be submitted through the online questionnaire no later than Friday, 22nd May 2026.

Thank you for the time and prayer you can offer to this important task, which has been entrusted to us by His Holiness Pope Leo XIV.

With every blessing and the assurance of my prayers, I remain,

Yours in the Lord Jesus Christ,
