The Parish of "Our Lady Of Furness"

MASS WILL BE LIVE STREAMED THIS WEEKEND AT 11am, 18 and19 April. (SECOND SUNDAY OF EASTER)

It was wonderful to come together this Good Friday afternoon, for The Celebration of The Passion of The Lord. Over 1100 families, friends and parishioners were online praying together today. It is good to remember that; although we may not be sitting together in one church, we truly are not alone, as we are always one congregation, in prayer. 

The Community Food Hubs being set up in Barrow need volunteers to help deliver food parcels to vulnerable people.  If you are willing and able to help, please contact Lucy Jenkin.

Her office contact details will be posted as soon as we have them.

The Community Hubs are a joint venture by Age UK, St Mary’s Hospice, Barrow Borough Council, Church groups and others.

Holy week begins tomorrow when we, the Church journey through the great mysteries of our faith in union with Christ. We will be live streaming the services of the Triduum at the following times:

HOLY THURSDAY(9th April) Mass of the Lord’s Supper at 6.30pm.

GOOD FRIDAY Celebration of the Lord’s passion at 3pm.

HOLY SATURDAY Easter Vigil at 7.30pm.

EASTER SUNDAY Morning Mass at 11am

On Good Friday please place a cross or crucifix in a prominent place and we can all venerate the cross at once. If you are without a cross perhaps you could make a simple cross.

At the vigil we will light candles and renew our baptismal promises. Maybe we could all light a candle and place it too in a prominent place.

Please join us and despite the virus let us unite in prayer to make this a truly Holy Week.

God bless, Fr. Manny
