Followed by Pilgrimage to Saint Werburgh’s shrine in Chester Catehdral
Our Venerable Mother Werbugh of Mercia is an important saint for Shrewsbury as her veneration in the town was established in the early 10th Century. A chapel dedicated to Saint Werburgh was located near Old Saint Chad’s. An excellent history has recently been written by our dear friend, beloved member of our church and local historian Christopher Jobson. I urge you to read the history so that we can give fitting honour to the saint who now adorns the north wall of our church. A link to the history can be found in the Latest Posts section further down on this page. Reading it, you will be moved to join us in honouring her memory on 3 February with us in Chester.
From now on the Bulletin will be issued on the Fridays before the second and last Sundays of each month. If you have contributions to make to the bulletin please issue these to me five days before the bulletin is distributed.
Contributions to the bulletin are warmly welcomed – if you would like to contribute to our blog please get in touch with me.
Thank you to all who have contributed over the last few weeks and months. The contributions help to encourage the faithful and provide fresh, diverse and interesting things to to read.
We will be expanding our online ministries to audio media in the coming months and have some exciting projects planned.
In Christ
