Friends of St Mary's, Little Crosby Annual Mass at the Harkirk
Chapel |
Every year at about this time,
the Church and the Friends celebrate Mass out of doors at this Chapel
in the woods, which was built by Colonel Nicholas Blundell in 1889 on
the site of a buriel ground dating back to 1610. This year we were fortunate
to have the services of Father Denis Carter SSC who took the place of
Father John Harvey who was seriously ill at the time (he has since died
- May he rest in peace).
Father Carter had recently returned from working in Pakistan as part of the Columbian Fathers' mission, and was in Little Crosby making an appeal on behalf of the mission. The Black & White photographs are reproduced courtesy of the Catholic Pictorial |
