PALM SUNDAY OF THE PASSION OF THE LORD 2015
Sunday 29th March 2015
Not many people call it Holy Week anymore.
That’s why I’m asking you to take a ‘This is Holy
Week’ poster after Mass today, and display it.
Fold the ‘He has Risen’ part so it cannot be seen
until Sunday. Glossop is a town with a tradition of
great faith, and when I look at the photos of the
past, especially the processions, and hear the
stories of needing a ticket to get into the major
Religious feast days at St Mary’s, and see the
sheer numbers of people involved, it leads me to
think that people in the town still have the faith
of their ancestors in their genes & in their blood.
So put the poster up in your window, and be
ready to tell people when and where the
services are throughout the week. (FG)
Thank You to all section leaders for all the
preparation and hard work you’ve put into this
Holy Week. May the Lord bless your efforts and
may they bear good and abundant fruit.
Also a word of appreciation and encouragement,
to all those who work and hold positions of
responsibility on the Governing Bodies of our local
Catholic Schools.
It has been a challenging and hard term. I hope
that you enjoy the Easter holidays and come back
to your stations fully refreshed. For now though, THIS
IS HOLY WEEK! - It’s going to be a great week! (FG)
A special invitation is extended to the youngest
members of our community to come together on
Good Friday for the Stations of the Cross. This
interactive prayer service is for primary school
children and involves the children moving around
the church reflecting on Jesus' journey to the Cross.
Please join us at St Mary's Church on Good Friday,
10:30am until approx. 11:30am. Hot cross buns and
juice will be shared afterwards. For further information please ask Mrs Rachel Hall or Mrs Liz Haggart.
A Musical Evening for the MS Society The Tameside
& Glossop branch of the Multiple Sclerosis Society
are organising a Musical Evening on Saturday 11th
April, to be held at Saint Margaret's Primary School
in Gamesley. Doors open at 7.30 pm for an 8 pm

own "The Prodigal Sons" fresh from their triumph at
our St. Patrick's event. Tickets are £5 (£3.50 concs),
available from Bay Tree Books, Christine James &
Tom Travis, and on sale after all Palm Sunday
Masses.
Please do support this cause....&, of
course, our own band!!!
Around the Schools:
News from St Mary’s Primary School:
The children & their families have been very creative
over the last few weeks: Firstly Mrs Boardley's class
have been busy making models, devising booklets
and PowerPoint presentations about the Ancient
Egyptians as seen in the photo. Secondly, there has
been an array of hats and egg decorations made
for the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party this week. There were
some creations worthy of being seen at Ascot!
Many thanks to the PFA for organising a great social
event. It was very well attended with lots of goodies
to buy. The total raised in just one hour was £325.
Thanks also go to our local business sponsors “Yoga
for All” and “Dandelion” Children’s Boutique for
generously donating prizes for the raffle.
School Mass and Easter Liturgy
Father Greg Tobin celebrated Mass yesterday in
school. As always the children responded well and
sang beautifully. Today, Mrs Kenyon’s class brought
together all the work they have been leading into a
powerful Easter Liturgy, telling the story of the events
leading to Jesus being crucified. The class prepared
prayers, readings and drama for each class, took
charge of the practices & then today coordinated
all the various parts together.
Well done, Mrs Kenyon’s class: –
that took some effort and it certainly paid off!
Wishing you all a very Happy Easter
from Saint Mary's children and staff.

Reflection - Sin Makes Us Sad:
Sin makes us sad; we see this with Judas. Yet evil exists
and we all have a shadow side. So this is why we pray:
‘Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil’.
Sin is- the lack of love, the unwillingness to be of service,
to share with the poor,
to embrace the forgotten,
to forgive our past injuries, to accept others as our
brothers and sisters.
Pope Francis reminds us that the church exists –
‘to heal wounds and to warm the hearts of the faithful’.

This year -the |Whitfield Parish High Street Mission Area Team
are organising a very simple act of witness, a flash mob style
drama in Norfolk Square, at 11-11.30am on Holy Saturday. To
be really effective this requires a crowd gathered around
Norfolk Square who will shout "Crucify Him" and sing ‘When I
survey the Wondrous Cross’ and ‘O Happy Day’ at the
appropriate time. They need as many Christians as possible
to join in this impromptu presentation of the Easter Story.
Secondly, there is the traditional Easter Sunday Sunrise
Service on The Nab at 6.30am, followed by breakfast in the
Vineyard, and all are very welcome to join this. The slightly
fitter may want to walk to that service, in which case they
need to be at St James' lych-gate at 6am.
The New Luncheon Club are having lunch in the Hall on
Thursday 23rd April at 12.30pm. Details of the menu and cost
are at the back of SM Church, people can put their names
on the list if they would like to have lunch. All are welcome.
Easter Choir Rehearsal: Tues 31st March, 7.30pm, at All Saints.
All Saints Easter Egg Raffle raised £115, many thanks to all who
donated Easter Eggs, and to the two tireless ticket sellers.
Each year Chernobyl Children's Project charity brings 6
