Pozegnanie Brata Jarka
Brat Jarek sluzyl w naszej parafii od 2011 roku. Byl to dla niego czas bardzo intensywnej pracy i poslugi wsród parafian. Jestesmy szczesliwi i wdzieczni Bogu za to, ze brat byl, wspieral nas i dbal o nasza duchowosc tu, na obczyznie. Brat Jarek nie tylko pieknie i gorliwie mówil o milosci w kazaniach, ale równiez okazywal nam ja czynem i sluzba. Dziekujemy za usmiech, za wielka milosc do Jezusa ukrytgo w Eucharystii, który dzieki bratu nie jest juz dla nas tak ukryty. Dziekujemy za cierpliwosc i za poprowadzenie nas tak pieknie, ze rozkwitalismy w coraz gorliwszej milosci do Boga i blizniego. Niech w ojczyznie Pan Bóg poblogoslawi brata zdrowiem, sila i madroscia potrzebna do dalszej poslugi. No i wreszcie zyczymy bratu nieba... Bóg zaplac!
Farewell to Brother Jarek
Brother Jarek has served in our parish since 2011. It was a time of very intense work and service among parishioners. We are happy and thankful to God that our brother was there, supporting us and taking care of our spirituality here in exile. Brother Jarek not only spoke beautifully and zealously about love in his sermons, but also showed it to us in his deed and service. Thank you for the smile, for the great love for Jesus hidden in the Eucharist, who, thanks to his brother, is no longer so hidden from us. Thank you for your patience and for leading us so beautifully that we flourished in ever more zealous love for God and neighbour. May God bless my brother in his homeland with health, strength and wisdom for further ministry. And finally, my brother Heaven and God bless you!
Br Jarek Returned to Poland
I wished Br Jarek a safe journey back to Poland and on behalf of all the parishioners and friars of St Francis a big thank you for his 10 years of devoted service to the Parish and Chester community.
Brother Jarek Konopko of Smolany joined St Francis Church as our Parish Priest in 2011 and became our Guardian and Parish Priest in 2017. During this time he worked tirelessly for the parish earning our respect and leaving the legacy of a multi-cultural website for future generations of parishioners and vistors to Chester from all over the world. The website contains a photo gallery, tour of the Church and a library of the 367 events that took place during Br Jarek's time with us.
Thank you for all the lovely masses and the many other spiritual times we were together. You changed so many people's lives with your spirituality, loving care and friendship. We will never forget the Friday afternoons whilst you were praying in our Church and during adoration many people approached you for confession and just to be there to talk to. After which we had your wonderful Benedictions. We also remember your monthly 'Time For Jesus' as a special time of prayer. Thank you also for all the fun times we have spent together enjoying the social evenings with the good Polish food, music and dancing. You have truly been a good friend and will be greatly missed by us all.
God bless,
Br. Jinson, New Administrator

366. The Re-dedication of England as the Dowry of Mary: Sunday 29th March 2020
The Statue of The Blessed Virgin Mary
This Re-dedication on March 29th 2020 is a both a personal promise of the people of our country, and a renewal of the entrustment vows made by King Richard II in 1381. On Sunday 29th March at 12noon, The Re-dedication took place throughout the country. As King Richard II once gave England as a gift to Our Lady, so we are invited to give ourselves, as the people of this country, to Mary.
We responded to this invitation on the day of Re‑dedication in two ways; by making a personal promise and a communal entrustment.
Our personal promise brings us closer to Mary, the first disciple of Christ. In this we unite in her joy by following her openness to God’s call.
Our communal entrustment unites us together as the people of our country in prayer, by renewing the vows of dedication made to Mary by our ancestors.

336. CAFOD Harvest Family Fast Day: Friday 4th October 2019
This year CAFOD's Harvest Fast Day took place on Friday 4th October 2019.
This Harvest we heard from 14-year-old Fabiano about the danger he faced on the long walk to collect water in the dark. Now that a solar powered pump has been installed in his village, Fabiano can get water safely, easily and have time and energy for school.
There are many more children who still need our help and who are risking their safety and missing school to get water. Help us this Harvest to reach more children and communities this Harvest!
Full details were available from the CAFOD website. www.cafod.org.uk
