THIS YEAR, NEXT YEAR, SOMETIME - A REMEMBRANCE POEM

THIS YEAR, NEXT YEAR, SOMETIME...

Late October’s turning back of Time

 Presages another Remembrance Day,

 When generations,

 Of every age, race, religion, culture,

Will participate in touching ceremonies

Of Thanksgiving and reflection.

Thoughts of those who fought valiantly,

In the cause of justice and freedom,

The innocent victims,

Fodder for our inhumanity,

Might hopefully engender a universal desire

For a world, where we can live

In Harmony, Love and Peace.

ARCHDIOCESAN GOOD NEWS - ST MARY'S PARISH CENTRE BILLINGE MAKES BLEED KIT ACCESSIBLE

In 2024, all parish centres across the archdiocese installed bleed kits to save lives in the event of a life-threatening bleed, with the help of charity Knifesavers.

Several, including St Mary's Parish Centre in Billinge, kept the kits behind the bar, but following an incident nearby, parish centre manager Adele Ritson has moved the kit to an outdoor defibrillator box, making it accessible even outside the centre's operating hours.

Adele commented to St Helens Star: "We have it behind the bar but with the incident in Moss Bank being so close to home I realised that it would be better for it to be accessible to the public when we are closed."

Staff were given training when the kit was installed, but Adele now hopes to arrange refresher training for staff and potentially offer sessions to members of the public.
