We join them in thanking God for the blessings they have received in these fifty years and wish them a splendid celebration and every blessing for the future. #### Baptism Today we welcome in baptism Tobias David and Alexander William Bond and wish them and their family every blessing in their faith journey. #### Collection Thank you for last week’s collection of £894 and for the Home Mission collection of £308. #### Harvest Fast Day Friday is the Harvest Fast Day... why a fast day? Because the day is meant to be an opportunity for us to put ourselves alongside the hungry of this world by doing without something we like... and donating the money we save to the CAFOD collection which will be taken next Sunday at mass. Whether it’s a bar of chocolate, a pint, a bottle of wine.... whatever.... the cost of it can go to the collection. And this year we might wish to add some of the £50 we got from United Utilities to help those who have no access to clean water... for a few weeks we lived without safe water to drink. For millions of people that’s a daily reality.... it is estimated that 1400 children die every day from diarrhoea caused by unsafe water.... if you wish to make a donation to help this cause, please mark your envelope “Water Aid” and I will ensure the money goes to support that need. #### The Rosary October is the month of the Rosary... the Rosary as a prayer kept the Faith alive in this country during the Reformation when to say or attend Mass was a capital offence. The Rosary is said here each morning after the Mass. #### Feasts #### **Tuesday S**t. Michael (whose name means: He who is like God) **Thursday** The ‘Little Flower’ – St. Therese of Lisieux **Friday** The Guardian Angels #### Religious Inspection On Tuesday the Diocese will visit our School to review both the religious teaching and the practice of the Faith in the life of the School. A detailed report has been written showing how religion is taught and practised in our School. When OSFTED inspected the school (December 2014) they wrote: “A major strength of the school is the impressive promotion of pupils’ spiritual, moral, social and cultural development”. We are blessed to have a Head and Staff for whom this ‘religious education’ of the children is a priority – for them the school is a community in which the Faith is both lived and taught. Please keep them and all the children in your prayers. #### Friends of St. Gregory’s School - PTA The AGM will be held at the School on Friday, October 1st at 6.30pm. #### **Ministering to the Assembly** **Counters (28th September)** Celia and Derek Birchall **Rotas (4th October)** **S.A.S.** Margaret Scard **Readers** Margaret Scard Elizabeth Green Paul Tate **Ministers** Catherine Todd Emmy Moss Christine Crossen Richard Jackson Sharon Hobin **Dial a Ride** Taxi Kevin Masterson - [← previous](https://stgregoryschorley.org.uk/news/2015-09-20-newsletter) - [next →](https://stgregoryschorley.org.uk/news/2015-10-04-newsletter) ### [Latest News](https://stgregoryschorley.org.uk/news) 12 November 2026 [![Image of 'Newsletter'](https://files.schudio.com/stgregoryschorley/imagecache/750x480c/news/Newsletter.jpg)](https://stgregoryschorley.org.uk/news/2026-11-12-newsletter) #### ['Newsletter'](https://stgregoryschorley.org.uk/news/2026-11-12-newsletter) ### Useful Links - [Privacy Notice](https://stgregoryschorley.org.uk/privacy) - [Chorley Hospital](https://stgregoryschorley.org.uk/chorley-hospital) - Other Parishes in the Lancashire Deanery - [The Liverpool Archdiocese ](http://www.liverpoolcatholic.org.uk/) - [Our Location](https://stgregoryschorley.org.uk/contact) ### Contact Us **St Gregory's Church Weld Bank & St Oswald's Church Coppull** Weld Bank Chorley Lancashire PR7 3NW Tel: 01257 262462 School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://stgregoryschorley.org.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/) - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/pages/St-Gregorys-Weldbank/177113458975673) © Copyright 2015–2026 St Gregory's Church Weld Bank & St Oswald's Church Coppull.
