Dates for your Diary
Community Mass
Sunday 10th March – St Luke’s RC Church, Frodsham
St Nicholas Catholic High School is joining with the local parishes to celebrate the First Sunday of Lent with a Community Mass at St Luke’s RC Church, 61 High St. Frodsham, Cheshire WA6 7AN. An invitation is offered to any young person of high school age (not necessarily at St Nicholas’) to come and help prepare the Mass and then celebrate as a community with families and parishioners.
Preparation time will begin at 4.00pm with Mass at 5.00pm and refreshments to follow in the parish centre. Young people who are dropped off at 4.00pm will need to have a parent consent form completed which can be done on the day. Young people are also very welcome to simply come to the Mass with their family. St Nicholas students should complete their consent forms in advance by getting in touch with the School Chaplain. We hope that young people from across our parishes will be able to join us with their families.
