Reflections on The Joy of Love (Amoris Laetitia)

In his 325-paragraph document, Pope Francis provides his prayerful reflections on marriage and the family: their strengths and weaknesses, their call from God and the challenges they face.

Pope Francis recommends that The Joy of Love be read “patiently and carefully”

Each week we read an extract from the Pope's letter and reflect on how it might relate to our family lives.

holyspiritwindowPASTORAL AREA NOVENA

Following the Ascension of Our Lord, tradition says that the disciples gathered in the upper room together with Mary for nine days of prayer in anticipation of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit.  This is the original novena.

Today, as disciples of Jesus, we too join together in prayer for a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit in our parishes, our schools, our families, and in ourselves.

The format of the Novena will be: Invocation to the Holy Spirit, a daily theme to focus on, a Scripture reading related to the theme and a concluding prayer. Priests, deacons and lay people from the different parishes in the Pastoral Area will lead the novena. 

You can download the Novena leaflet by clicking here

The videos for each Novena session will be made available below as they become available.

Back in September 2018  Fr Tim led the Novena to Our Mother of Perpetual Help at the Redemptoristine Monastery in Dublin.  The Masses were broadcast on the internet and fortunately  the majority are still available. 

Thank you too the Redemptoristine nuns  https://rednuns.com/ and  https://www.churchservices.tv/  who have allowed us to make available the Gospel, Homily, Prayers of Petition and Thanksgiving without you having to fast forward through the Masses.

This section of the website reflects Bishop Eton's Live Simply journey  For St Mary's journey visit https://www.stmaryswoolton.org.uk/en/living-simply

In March 2024 both parishes were awarded the Live Simply Award.
In September 2025 the parishes of Our Lady of the Annunciation Bishop Eton, St Mary's Woolton and St John Vianney joined forces to form LiveSimplyTogether

Purpose:

We care about Creation and we care about people who are living in poverty. 

We celebrate the wonders of the natural world and the diversity of our brothers and sisters, both here and right across the planet.

We are really worried about the impact that the climate crisis and other environmental threats are having on our world, particularly the impact on the poor.

We are committed to promote a variety of actions and initiatives across our two Parishes, which will help us to live out our faith by caring for our common home. 

Aim

We aim to be a catalyst for change, inspiring the parishioners of Bishop Eton and St Mary's to live more simply, more sustainably and in greater solidarity with the poor.  

Patron

Prior to his death in April 20206 Fr Jim Casey C.Ss.R was our patron, there are no plans to replace him.

Contact details

For further information and to help with the project contact Pauline Volk at

Each week a message to inform and/or inspire the parish appears in the bulletin.

As we journey to LiveSimply we will have events supporting our aims: living simply; living in solidarity with people in poverty and living sustainably with creation.

 

 SVP LOGO  Live Simply  cafod

The majority of Bishop Eton parish and St Mary’s are in the constituency of Garston. Parts of Bishop Eton parish remain in Wavertree

The SVP, CAFOD and LiveSimply groups across the two parishes have joined forces to put three questions we feel passionate about to each of the candidates that are standing in the Wavertree and Garsron constituencies covering:

  • poverty here in Liverpool;
  • cuts to the international aid budget;
  • the climate crisis and caring for the planet.

We will publish the responses we receive from each candidate.
