For nearly five years the widowers group has met at Tabor Carmelite Centre in Preston each month for Mass before repairing to the Sparling hostelry for lunch. Following the decision of the Carmelites to close Tabor the group now meet at the Ladyewell shrine near Fernyhalgh. As the resident priests at Fernyhalgh have their own masses and commitments we are very fortunate to have obtained the services of Fr Philip Newbold, seen in the photograph below, to say mass on a regular basis. Fr Philip recently retired from a parish in the Archdiocese of Birmingham and is very well acquainted with Catenians having being the chaplain to Province 6.
The Pals are greatly indebted to the Carmelite priests at Tabor for their welcome and support over the years.
Any widower who does not receive information about the monthly masses can contact Bro. Jim Livesey of Burnley Circle.
