On behalf the Good Samaritan (St John the Baptist’s) Parish CAFOD Group, a warm invitation to our 40th Anniversary celebrations. St John’s CAFOD Group, which has now become Good Samaritan CAFOD Group, held its first CAFOD group meeting on 1st April 1983. Therefore, to celebrate reaching our 40th anniversary the group are holding a Mass of celebration on Saturday 1st April at 12 Noon, to be celebrated at St John the Baptist’s RC Church in Burnley. Monsignor John Corcoran will be chief celebrant as Fr John played a crucial role in establishing the group back in 1983. He will be joined by Fr David Featherstone, our parish priest, as well as our new assistant priests Fathers Benjamin and Job from the Diocese of Bauchi in Nigeria. The Mass of celebration will be followed by a social in the parish hall of tea or coffee and cakes to which all are invited.
