The Parish of St Elisabeth the New Martyr, Wallasey, will celebrate its patronal festival on Saturday, the 18th (5th) of July with a day of services and events. This is an exciting time in the life of the parish as it marks the next chapter of its life in a new church in Wallasey. Services will begin at 10.00 a.m. with the Lesser Blessing of the Waters, Hours, and Divine Liturgy, followed by a Cross-procession. There will be a "bring and share" lunch, followed by an open afternoon, including the showing of a DVD of the life of St Elisabeth. The day will close with Vespers at 3.30 p.m. All are welcome to attend.
Following the acquisition of a new church in Colchester last year and in Mettingham earlier this year, this will be the latest in a series of encouraging moves in the diocese. God has richly blessed us. Please do go to Wallasey on the 18th to offer thanks and to support the people of St Elisabeth's parish.
