May Saint Dominic come to the help of your Church
by his merits and teaching, O Lord,
and may he, who was an outstanding preacher of your truth,
be a devoted intercessor on our behalf.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever.

🦕 ROAR-ing Good Fun at Longton Library!
🥁A HUGE thank you to all the amazing families who rocked out at our craft session yesterday!
Our little creators got super hands-on making custom castanets and hand drums. The library was absolutely buzzing with rhythm! We also tackled some instrument-themed colouring and word searches like total pros. 🎨
✨The highlight? Jamming out to Never Dance with a Dinosaur by Pamela Butchart! Just like Pari in the book, our mini musicians brought the house down with their epic dance moves and handmade beats. 💃🦖
🗓️ What’s next? Join us on Friday 7th August for a morning of jigsaws, colouring, and awesome games!⚠️ Spaces are limited and filling up fast!
Don’t miss out on the fun—send us a message or pop in to book your spot today! 👇

“One does not live by bread alone,
but by every word that comes forth from the mouth of God.” Matthew 4:4

On the feast day of St. John Vianney we pray for all priests across the world 🙏

God, please give your Church today many more priests after your own heart.
May they be worthy representatives of Christ the Good Shepherd.
May they wholeheartedly devote themselves to prayer and penance;
Being examples of humility and poverty;
Shining models of holiness;
Tireless and powerful preachers of the Word of God;
Zealous dispensers of your grace in the sacraments.
May their loving devotion to your Son Jesus in the Eucharist and to Mary his Mother
Be the twin fountains of fruitfulness for their ministry.
Amen.

(Prayer by St John Vianney)
