This weekend (Friday, Saturday & Sunday) the members of the Neo Catechumenal Way met from various parts of the country in Preston. Friday afternoon many of them members, young & old, gave public witness in the centre of Preston: singing, dancing and giving testimony.

And it was all generations who gathered at St Mary's church, Fernyhalgh (attached to Ladyewell Shrine www.ladyewellshrine.co.uk ) on the nearest Sunday to the Solemnity of The Assumption. There young and old, male and female, able and less able, laity & clergy from St Clare's parish came together to pray the Glorious Mysteries of the Rosary for families and parish.

The request was that in every House Holy Mass should be celebrated and then, where possible, a visit to a Shrine should be undertaken for a further period of prayer. Ladyewell at Fernyhalgh was where the British Fraternity gathered for a period of adoration and prayer at the statue of Mary.
