Visit from Bishop of Monze

Bishop of Monze Motto
Stay with us Lord

Today at the celebration of the 10.30 Mass, Bishop Moses, the Bishop of Monze concelebrated Mass with Fr Steve Pearson.  Fr Steve welcomed Bishop Moses and explained the connection that the Lancaster Diocese has had with the Diocese of Monze.  It is a reminder that we belong to the universal church, which as we say in the Creed is the One Catholic Apostolic Church.

During Mass Bishop Moses incensed the altar and because its Easter season he incensed the paschal candle, a sign of Jesus the Light of the world and resurrection.

For the eagle eyed, it was lovely to see Bishop Moses at the start of the Eucharistic prayer, give a small clap of the hands as he said the words 'Let us give thanks and praise'.
