At the weekend Stephen Talbutt who shared news of his plans to go to seminary in a recent Wednesday Word of Witness attended his last Mass before going away. Stephen is like many who will be starting a new phase of their life.  We remember our teachers who are getting ready for the start of the academic year and all those pupils who are getting ready to move to a new class or new school.  Parents, grandparents and carers will also be getting ready for a change after their summer holiday routine.  In a few weeks those going to university will be moving away to study in other parts of the country and students studying at Lancaster or Cumbria Universities will be returning to Lancaster after being away for the summer.
