Celebrate your faith

This year our parish mission enlivened our faith and in September we will be celebrating a hundred years of our parish’s worship & witness in Leigh. So what better time to go deeper into our faith, growing in understanding & knowledge?

From September until Easter 2026 there will be an opportunity to watch & discuss a series of video talks by Brant Pitre, author of books like Jesus the Bridegroom & Jesus & the Last Supper. He is a very lively & engaging speaker who can open our hearts & minds to the depths & treasures of our faith.

We will be holding regular meetings in the parish centre but for those who want to join in from home it’s possible to buy audio & video versions of the talks from www.brantpitre.com.

Normally meetings will run from 7 to 9.30 pm to give ample time for a break, questions & discussion. It would be helpful to bring with you whatever you use for making notes. No need to book – just come!

22nd October A Biblical Explanation of the Mass—video presentation by Brant Pitre

If you want to enter more fully into your celebration of the Mass, if you sometimes wonder about the reasons for some of the things we do in it, this talk is just what you need! Last month Brant Pitre opened our eyes to the biblical foundations for our beliefs about Jesus & in this talk he does the same for our understanding of the Mass.

In November into December he will help us prepare for Christmas by guiding us through the Scriptures of Advent, enabling us to see the “big picture” of this season.

12th & 26th November, 10 December
Jesus and the Jewish Roots of Advent

If sometimes Advent gets lost in all the preparation for Christmas these talks, which focus on the Sunday Mass readings for Advent, will enable us to understand its deeper meaning & so lead us to a fuller, joyful celebration of Christmas.
