Message from Fr. Tom Gagie
As you will be aware, both St Mary's Lowe House and St. Thomas of Canterbury Churches, in line with the instructions from the Archdiocese of Liverpool, are to remain closed until further notice due to the coronavirus outbreak. I know this is a very difficult time for everyone; please be assured you are in my prayers and if anyone has any petitions you would like me to pray for, please put them through the door.
Keep safe and God bless you all.

IMPORTANT SUSPENSION NOTICE
Thursday Together in the Spirit/Holy Hours at St. Mary's Lowe House and St. Thomas of Canterbury/Life in the Spirit Seminars/Saturday Seeds: Given the current situation and advice from Government, we have taken the decision to suspend the above activities until further notice.
We are really heartbroken to do this but there is little else we can do. Please continue to pray with us in spirit - the Lord is with us and perhaps this is a time we can use just to be still and quiet and listen to what God is saying to us. Hopefully, God willing, we can soon continue to share and praise the Lord together again. Please do continue to send in prayer requests as we can still prayer for those! God bless xx
