There is a day trip to visit the Hidden Gem Shrine of Our Lady of Manchester on Saturday 13th December, organised by Mary Mother of God Parish in Bradford, but with the invitation extended to Growing Old Grace-fully supporters and subscribers (subject to availability).
The trip is being organised by Frances Norton, the Pastoral Worker for Older People, the post proposed by Growing Old Grace-fully and funded from a grant from the Ladies of the Grail.
A minibus will do two pick-ups, first at St John the Evangelist, Buttershaw at 9:15am and then St Winefride’s, Wibsey at 9:30am. The minibus will get to Manchester around 11am in time to join saying the Rosary at 11:30am and then Mass in the Hidden Gem at 12pm (noon).
There will be some free time for people to use as they please, including the option to visit Manchester’s Christmas market. Then there will be evening prayer at the Hidden Gem at 3:30pm, following which the minibus will return to Bradford.
Anyone interested in attending should email Frances at pwop.marymotherofgod@dioceseofleeds.org.uk or call the parish on 01274 677992. See the poster and parish website/bulletin for more details.
