Tickets are selling fast for a concert on Friday 1 June at the Liverpool Philharmonic Hall. Fathers Martin O’Hagan, Eugene O’Hagan and David Delargy better known as the ‘Singing Priest’s’ will be flying in to give a rare performance in the UK: a concert in aid of Nugent – the children’s charity and the Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ the King. The Priests have toured over the years singing in New Zealand, Australia, USA and Canada and still manage to be parish priests of the own parishes in the diocese of Down and Connor, Northern Ireland. Free time is scarce, but they are delighted to come over once again to sing in Liverpool. Pat Murphy, the former Director of Fundraising for Jospice, who is directing the concert said ‘I am delighted to be working with the Priest’s again especially in one of the best concert venues in the country. The audience can be assured of a great evening of music, song and more than a little Irish craic’. They will be joined by Liverpool mezzo-soprano Danielle Thomas and the Liverpool Signing Choir will be making an appearance. Tickets from £16 are selling fast and can be obtained from the Liverpool Philharmonic Hall Box Office Tel: 0151 709 3789 www.liverpoolphil.com or from the shop at the Metropolitan Cathedral.
Magazine marks Eucharistic Congress Liverpool is hosting the National Catholic Eucharistic Pilgrimage and Congress in September. People from across England and Wales – and beyond – will come to our “Liverpool home”. That’s why Adoremus Extra has its own part to play in whatever is happening in Liverpool before, during and after the Congress. For a start, it has its own Scouse flavour, with Bishop Eton, SFX, the Blessed Sacrament Shrine, Freshfield, Formby and Everton, Anfield, Walton and Kirkdale appearing amongst its 124 pages… and, across the Mersey, Runcorn and Frodsham. There are contributions from Frank and Denise Cottrell Boyce, Fathers Denis Blackledge, Tim Buckley and Dame Mary Richardson. You can read about Liverpool’s nineteenth century “martyr priests” who died because they carried the sacraments to people dying of cholera. Perhaps your own ancestors were amongst those who were helped by these courageous men and others who risked their own lives in order to support others at a time of desperate need… and then there were the members of the Liverpool Pals’ Regiment who fought in the First World War… The 124-page, A4 glossy magazine includes something for everyone – including children’s activity pages, six weeks of daily reflections and articles by an amazing range of people from every walk of life. There’s something for everyone in Adoremus Extra!
