THE PARISH OF BLESSED CARLO ACUTIS WOLVERHAMPTON Founded 15th December 2020 O God, our Father, thank you for giving us Carlo, a model of life for young people, and a message of love for all. His love for your Son, Jesus, in the Eucharist, was his source of strength and his ‘highway to heaven’. You gave him Mary, as beloved Mother, and through the Rosary he sang the praises of her tenderness. Help us to imitate him by confirming our faith, nurturing our hope and strengthening our charity. Accept his prayer for us. Look above all upon the poor, whom he loved and assisted and through his intercession, may our parish become a vibrant community of missionary disciples, dedicated to the fruitful building of your Kingdom. We ask this through Christ our Lord, Amen.  Tomorrow (Wed 29th Sep) is the patronal feast of St Michael's church. Mass will be celebrated at 6.30pm. The choir has been practicing a beautiful new Mass setting. Come along and join us!

 Above is a reconstruction of how Caesaria Philippi would have looked when Jesus visited it in today's Gospel. It was the source of the river Jordan and the temple complex was dedicated to the pagan god Pan. It is here that Jesus asks the disciples "who do you say I am?"
