St Francis Hill Chapel is a beautiful historic
'barn style' church set in colourful gardens, it was founded in 1755. It is a small rural
Parish in the heart of the countryside, close to the village of Goosnargh. The Parish
Administrator is Father Sony Joseph and the Parish is part of the diocese of
Lancaster.
The picture below is of a stained-glass display, within
the church, of Blessed George Beesley, a martyr, who was born about 1562 in the
farmhouse that is now the Presbytery. He died on 2nd
July 1591 in Fleet Street, London.
His last words are reputed to have been, "Absit
mihi gloriari nisi in Cruce Domini Nostri Jesu Christi" (Far
from me to glory except in the cross of Jesus Christ) and, after a pause, "Good people, I beseech God to send all
felicity ".(happiness).
Having "nourished the soul" members, family and friends "nourished the body" at Ferraris, (well known throughout Province)
and enjoyed each others company and delicious food.
All that remained was for a group photo after a thoroughly enjoyable "Catenian Day".
Thanks to Bob for his photographic skills and keep watching for a report on
"The Buxton Adventure".
