First Mass

Newly ordained Fr Theo Sharrock will celebrate his first Mass on Monday, 29th September, at St John’s RC Church, Bracewell Street, Burnley at 7pm. All parishioners welcome.

After Mass you will be able to receive Fr Theo’s first blessing. After kneeling for the blessing Father will offer you his newly anointed hands to kiss. This is a sign of the special role of the hands in the life of the priest.

The occasion of a priest’s first Mass is also an opportunity to gain a plenary indulgence for the remission of punishment due to forgiven sin under the usual conditions.
