REDEMPTORIST NEWS:
Gerry Mulligan C.Ss.R RIP
We have just heard the news that Fr Gerry Mulligan, who was the youngest elected Provincial of the London Province, has died in hospital in Glasgow. He had been based in Perth in recent years, but his health had gradually deteriorated; his 81st birthday was last Monday.
May I thank all those of you who joined us for Fr Beverley Ahearn’s funeral on that day. It was a blessed occasion and although the live-streaming was interrupted for a while, the whole of the Mass was recorded and is available through Church Services on our website.
I am pleased to report that Fr Jim Casey was discharged from hospital that same evening and is gradually recovering his strength
DIAMOND JUBILEES
To celebrate the Diamond Jubilee of Priesthood of Fr. Jim Casey and Fr. Jim McManus there will be an additional 12 noon Mass on Thursday 11th January at Bishop Eton. We offer our prayers and thanksgiving for the dedication and service of Fr. Casey and Fr. McManus, and will keep them in our prayers.
The usual 12 noon Mass will take place at St. Mary’s.

REDEMPTORIST COMMUNITY NEWS
I was privileged to look after the funeral of Fr Michael Creech, CSsR, which took place in Clapham last Tuesday: I had known him since my boyhood days. Happily, I have fully recovered from the bug that had attacked me the previous week and Fr Andrew is well on the road to recovery after his health scare last weekend. Unfortunately, Fr Maurice is suffering from a virus and had to postpone his retreat in Devon until after Christmas.
Please pray for Fr Tony Hunt. As you know he is being cared for at Nazareth House in Birkenhead and is slowly declining. As always, he was immensely grateful for a visit from Fr Andrew and me last Wednesday afternoon. He remains peaceful and remarkably cheerful.
CONGRATULATIONS FR JAMES SMALE & FR JAMES CASEY
Fr James celebrated his Diamond Jubilee of Profession as a Redemptorist on Friday 9th September 2022. We congratulate him and Fr James Casey, who celebrated 65 years since his Profession the day before.
FR MAURICE:
Fr Maurice is having a short holiday with some friends in Germany at present but returns during the coming week.
FR ANDREW:
I am happy to report that Fr Andrew, our Rector, has had a successful operation during the week, and hopefully, by the time you are reading this, he will be happily back in Bishop Eton convalescing.
MORE CELEBRATIONS:
This weekend we have a double celebration in the Redemptorist Community: Fr Andrew reaches the grand age of 75 and Fr Bev Ahearn marks 75 years as a Redemptorist. Once again, we thank God for their years of faithful service and continue to ask God’s blessing on the Redemptorist family and particularly our ministry here in Liverpool. While we are on the subject, Fr Maurice had his 70th birthday during the week and on September 5th Bro Michael will reach the same age. The fact that then we will have no one under the age of 70 in our community is a further stark reminder of how important it is that we take time carefully to plan for the future when I return from my holiday in a couple of weeks’ time.
