Information:
Over the past week or so everyone has experienced Internet services overload with many of the links we provide having ‘dropped out’ at times.
Walsingham.tv (and others) in particular has been subjected to extremely high demand causing them to crash at weekend so they want people to log in via their YouTube™ service if at all possible. This can be done either via the Internet or on many modern TV sets with Internet connectivity.
From YouTube™ menu search> *service you seek*

Pray with the Holy Father Today!
Friday 27th March 2020
The Bishop has asked that all priests try to pass on the following news to all the faithful as best they can. The following information has been sent officially from the Vatican:
‘...In order to offer intercession and consolation during this time of exceptional discomfort, the Holy Father will preside over a time of prayer and Eucharistic Adoration in Saint Peter’s Square, without a congregation of the lay faithful, on Friday 27th March 2020 at 5pm, London time.
The Statio orbis will be broadcast on mondovision and streamed by Vatican News.
During this time of prayer Pope Francis will impart the Urbi et Orbi Blessing and will also concede a Plenary Indulgence to all those persons who participate in these prayers via the communications media...’
Brothers and Sisters if you know people who are still not signed up to the parish email/website could you please pass this information on in a safe way.
God Bless.
Fr. O’Brien
(Parish Priest
