Pastoral Area get-together

The Pastoral Area of Alton, Grayshott, Liphook and Petersfield Catholic Parishes gathered together at The Church of the Immaculate Conception in Liphook on Saturday 16th August 2008, the day after the Feast of the Assumption, to mark the 150th Anniversary of Mary’s appearances to Saint Bernadette at Lourdes in the French Pyrenees.

An Evening Prayer Service led by Petersfield Parish Priest (and co-ordinator of the Pastoral Area) Canon Gerard Hetherington followed inside the church. The theme of the Service with hymns, a reading and homily by Canon Alan Griffiths of Alresford Parish was Let my Prayer Arise Before You Like Incense, and the 140 strong congregation one by one went up to place a grain of incense onto a fire to signify the rising of prayer to God.
