Wallasey Parish Launches New Mission

09/03/2011

The parish of St Elisabeth the New-Martyr, Wallasey, has launched a new mission to reach out to people in Liverpool, with the intention of integrating them into church life in the Wallasey parish.  The mission will be under the dedication of St Nicholas the Wonderworker, for which purpose an icon of St Nicholas was generously donated by the cathedral parish in London.  The icon originally came from the St Nicholas parish in Bradford, which closed in the 1990s, so has returned to the north to be a channel of grace to those who call upon the Saint in prayer before it.

The mission will take the form of occasional Divine Liturgies and possibly other services, hosted at the Anglican parish church of Our Lady and St Nicholas in Liverpool city centre, through the kind hospitality of its parish priest and church council.  The first Liturgy will be served on Saturday, the 8th of May, being the 21st of May in the civil calendar.  More details will appear here nearer the time.
