ARCHDIOCESAN GOOD NEWS  - OUR LADY OF THE ASSUMPTION, GATEACRE, ASSISI RETREAT

Parishioners of Our Lady of the Assumption in Gateacre have begun their retreat in Assisi this week. Following the success of a short pilgrimage during the jubilee last year, Fr Stephen Pritchard has brough parishioners back to Assisi for a longer stay.

Alongside parishioners who stayed at home, the group will be praying with St Claire and St Francis of Assisi throughout the retreat, as well as St Carlo Acutis, who is buried in Assisi and whose feast day was yesterday, 20 years after his death.
