HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL DAY: Russian troops liberated thousands of men and women at Auschwitz-Birkenau on 27 January 1945. Monday is therefore the 75th anniversary and there are many services being held to commemorate the occasion and to remember the nearly 8m men, women and children – mainly Jews, but also Catholics, socialists, unionists, gypsies and Muslims – who were systematically killed by the Nazis and others. Everyone is welcome to attend the Memorial Service at Christ Church, Lord St, Southport, on Sunday 26 January. The Service begins at 1.30pm and is a multi-faith service with contributions from local schoolchildren and Lord Doug Hoyle.

REFLECTION: SYNOD 2020 – Theme 3 How We Pray Together
Please consider / ponder on these questions, to help you prepare for the 3rd parish meeting at the Coffee Morning on 2 February
- Think of a time when you felt fully engaged in praying with others: what helped this to happen?
- How did you learn to pray? How have your ways of praying changed over time?
- What helps you to pray?
- In 1990 137,000 people attended Mass (in the Archdiocese) every weekend. Last year the number was 40,000. Why have so many stopped praying with us in church at the weekend / during the week?
- To what extent does the celebration of Mass in our parish help you to grow in how you live your faith during the week?
