Visit of the relics of St Bernadette to Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral. One of the deliveries of humanitarian aid from the archdiocese to Bishop Gregory Komar and seminarians on the Ukrainian border.

Last March, I went to Rome to hand the final report of our Synod to the Congregation for Bishops and to the Synod Office and I also took to the dicasteries the issues that were raised that could not form part of the Synod report, as I had promised to do. We have just celebrated the first anniversary of our Pastoral Plan, the fruit of our Synod journey. It is not just a document; it represents the hopes and dreams of our local Church. Guided by the Holy Spirit, it is the way we have discerned our way forward, journeying together, taking an active part in our evangelising mission.

Our Synod asked us to look outward – to be welcoming and to be inclusive, and I have been delighted with the way we as a diocese have reached out to the local Church in Ukraine and how we have responded to the need for people to be warm and safe during winter. I am also changing my main advisory body so that it can now include the voices of women and lay men. Our Deanery Synodal Councils are already meeting and later in 2023 we hope to have the first meeting of our Diocesan Synodal Council. All of this forms part of our Pastoral Plan as we continue to discern the way ahead.

One longstanding example of the way in which we reach out to and care for others is our annual Lourdes Pilgrimage, and 2023 sees the hundredth anniversary of our first official archdiocesan pilgrimage. As we saw last September, thousands came to venerate the relics of St Bernadette when they visited St Mary’s, Chorley, Liverpool Anglican Cathedral and the

(l to r) Canon Chris Thomas, Archbishop Malcolm, Sister Nathalie Becquart, Cardinal Mario Grech, Cardinal Vincent Nichols

Metropolitan Cathedral of Christ the King. The devotion and enthusiasm of our pilgrims of all ages remains undiminished and continues to grow.

As we proceed along our pilgrim journey in 2023, let us pray that the Holy Spirit will continue to guide us on our journey and help us to reach out to others.

CLOSED CHURCHES

With the gradual depopulation of formerly densely packed inner urban areas, a number of parishes have been closed. Some parishes had earlier churches on different sites. Other parishes had changes made in their dedication. Some churches were built as chapels-of-ease and never became parishes in their own right.

OBITUARIES

Father Anthony Reynolds (1938—2022)

Anthony Reynolds, the son of William and Mary Reynolds, was born in Liverpool on 12 June 1938. He attended Much Woolton Primary School, Liverpool, and Campion House, Osterley, completing his seminary formation at St Joseph’s College, Upholland. He was ordained to the priesthood in the college chapel on his 27th birthday, 12 June 1965.

Following ordination, he was appointed as assistant priest at Our Lady’s, Parr. Thereafter, he served in several parishes as assistant priest: St Joan, Bootle, from January 1971; St Margaret Mary, Liverpool, from February 1975; St Francis de Sales, Liverpool, from September 1980 and St Luke, Whiston, from September 1981. During his final curacy, hospital chaplaincy became a stable feature of his priestly life, an aspect of his ministry that would continue over many years.

In May 1983, he was appointed as parish priest at St Anne’s, Overbury Street, Liverpool. As well as administering a busy city parish, he was also a chaplain at Liverpool Maternity Hospital on Oxford Street and the Children’s Hospital on Myrtle Street. He blessed the chapel in the latter and a plaque there still bears his name. A few months after his arrival, in November 1983, the maternity hospital was the focus of intense media attention following the birth of the Walton sextuplets. Father Tony always remained very proud that he had baptised them and he remained in contact with the family for many years afterwards. During his time at St Anne’s, he benefited from the presence of a community of Christian Brothers with whom he shared the very large presbytery. He oversaw a reordering of the sanctuary at St Anne’s and a refurbishment of the church.

In August 1989, he moved to St Paschal Baylon, Liverpool, as parish priest, and combined his parochial duties with his role as chaplain at Alder Hey Hospital. Whilst there he celebrated his silver jubilee as a priest.

He returned to St Luke’s, Whiston, in November 1991, this time as parish priest, resuming his duties as chaplain at Whiston Hospital. In September 1997, after nearly six years at St Luke’s, he moved to Our Lady Immaculate, Bryn, for his final appointment as parish priest. Just as he had done at Overbury Street, so at Bryn he oversaw the reordering of the sanctuary and a refurbishment of the church.

In 1999, he was invested as a Knight of the Holy Sepulchre by Archbishop Michael Bowen in St George’s Cathedral, Southwark. Already a veteran of many Holy Land pilgrimages by that point, he continued faithfully supporting the Order’s activities in favour of the Christians in the Holy Land for the rest of his life.

After twelve years at Bryn, by which time Father Tony was in his early seventies, he relinquished his responsibilities as a parish priest and moved to Widnes to assist the parish priests of the deanery. Freed from the administrative burden of being a parish priest, Father Tony relished being able to focus entirely on his pastoral duties. Shortly after celebrating his golden jubilee, he retired, in September 2015, to live happily with his sister Ursula in the family home in Woolton Village where four generations of his family had lived.

He died on the evening of Tuesday 15 February 2022, aged 83 years. He was in the 67th year of his priesthood.

His funeral Mass was celebrated on Tuesday 1 March at St Mary’s, Woolton, followed by burial in the churchyard.

May he rest in peace.

Clergy

Father Victor Bridges (1931—2022)

Victor Bernard Bridges, the son of Joseph and Mary Bridges, was born on 16 February 1931 in Wexford, Ireland. He was educated firstly by the Christian Brothers and then at St Peter’s College, Wexford. After leaving school he worked briefly at a draper’s shop in the town before applying to be accepted as a student for the priesthood. He was sent firstly to St Mary’s College, Aberystwyth, then run by the Carmelite Friars to provide formation for late vocations. He then studied at the English College, Lisbon, where he was ordained in the college chapel on 8 June 1963.

Following ordination, he served in three parishes as assistant priest: St John, Wigan from 1963; Our Lady of Good Help, Wavertree from August 1967 and St Thomas of Canterbury, Windleshaw, St Helens, from October 1973. Serving as an assistant priest in that era often meant serving with at least two other priests in a parish, though as he discovered there could be challenges. Writing to Archbishop Beck in June 1971 he observed that, ‘The Cenacle Convent is a haven of blessing… in view of the conditions here – no housekeeper or helper and the house permeated with a pungent odour, which could only be considered an “odour of sanctity” when they canonise cats.’

In January 1982, he took up his first and only appointment as parish priest, when he was assigned to Holy Angels, Kirkby. For 23 years he ministered faithfully to the community in the Westvale area of the town. He was known to enjoy travelling and on one occasion, whilst on a pilgrimage with other priests to the Holy Land, he encountered a group of ladies from his parish. A wag amongst the priests commented, ‘It comes to something when parishioners have to travel to the Holy Land to see their parish priest.’ Father Victor suffered a few periods of ill health during his ministry, and he retired from active ministry a few months before his 75th birthday in May 2005.

Father Victor enjoyed playing golf with some of the other priests of the archdiocese. He was known as a canny player who, though never improving his technique greatly, managed to make very good use of the handicap system.

He died on Wednesday 25 April aged 91 and in the 59th year of his priesthood.

His funeral Mass was celebrated at St Michael and All Angels’ Church, Kirkby, on Friday 13 May, followed by burial at Allerton Cemetery.

May he rest in peace.

Father James Moore (1929—2022)

James Gerard Moore, the son of Thomas and Anne Moore, was born in Liverpool on 25 November 1929. He attended St Edward’s School, Broadgreen, Liverpool, and St Dominic’s School, Huyton. After working in various jobs, he felt called to the priesthood and he began his ecclesiastical studies at Campion House, Osterley, before entering the English College, Lisbon. At Lisbon he eventually became the senior student and was noted for being the only student to stay in his bed during the large earthquake that struck Portugal in February 1969. He was quoted as saying that if he was going to die, he would rather die in his bed. Thankfully, all proceeded well and he was ordained to the priesthood in the college chapel at Lisbon on 31 May 1969.

Following ordination, he served as assistant priest in several parishes across the archdiocese: Twelve Apostles, Leigh, from July 1969; St Philomena, Liverpool, from November 1971; St Sebastian, Liverpool, from September 1974; St Brendan, Liverpool, from April 1979 and Our Lady Queen of Martyrs, Croxteth, from January 1981.

In 1985, he left parish ministry to become a full-time chaplain at Rainhill Hospital, providing invaluable pastoral care to patients and staff in what had once been a very large psychiatric hospital. His tenure as chaplain was marked by significant change in the hospital as many patients were moved to be cared for in the local community and others were moved to psychiatric

Clergy

facilities in other hospitals. The hospital eventually closed in 1992, a year after his departure as chaplain.

In March 1991, he succeeded Fr Joseph Holland as parish priest of Our Lady’s, Lydiate. This was to be his only appointment as parish priest, and he ministered happily there until his retirement in December 2004. Thereafter, he lived at Alston Court, Ainsdale, in one of the flats reserved for retired priests, until 2021, when failing health meant he could no longer live independently. For many years he was an active member of the Marian Movement of Priests.

He died on Saturday 18 June at the age of 92 and in the 54th year of his priesthood.

His funeral Mass was celebrated on Monday 27 June at Our Lady’s, Lydiate, followed by burial at Yew Tree Cemetery in Liverpool.

May he rest in peace.

Monsignor Anthony Dennick (1935—2022)

Anthony Alan Dennick was born at Upper Ettingshall, near Bilston in Staffordshire, on 21 March 1935. Considered a sickly child, his parents John and Evelyn moved the family to Buxton for the benefit of his health. There he began his education at St Anne’s School. Eventually the family moved to Liverpool, where he completed his early education at St Cecilia’s School and St Francis Xavier’s College. Upon leaving school, like many of his generation, he was called up for national service, serving in the catering corps of the Royal Navy.

Returning to civilian life, he felt called to the priesthood and was sent to St Joseph’s College, Upholland, to complete his formation. He was ordained priest by Archbishop Heenan in the college chapel on 8 June 1963. Following ordination, he was appointed as assistant priest at St William’s, Ince. Not long after his ordination, and to his great surprise, he was asked to serve on the committee making the preparations for the opening of the Metropolitan Cathedral in Liverpool. At his death, he was the last remaining member of the clergy who had been in the sanctuary party for its Mass of Consecration in May 1967.

In September 1970, at the request of Archbishop Beck, he moved to Archbishop’s House to become his private secretary. At the same time, he became chaplain to the nearby Good Shepherd Convent. Within a short time, he was also appointed vice-chancellor of the archdiocese. He continued to serve Archbishop Beck in these capacities until the latter’s retirement in 1976 and served for a further eighteen months with Archbishop Worlock. In September 1977, he relinquished his post as private secretary to the archbishop, though he retained his other roles as vice-chancellor, principal master of ceremonies and chaplain to the Good Shepherd Convent. A few months later he was appointed by Pope Paul VI as a Chaplain of His Holiness. Following the consecration of Mgr Kevin O’Connor as Auxiliary Bishop of Liverpool in July 1979, Mgr Dennick was promoted to succeed him as chancellor. Throughout this period, he continued to be the principal master of ceremonies for all the major liturgies and had a significant involvement in the arrangements for the celebration of Mass by Pope John Paul II at the Metropolitan Cathedral in May 1982. Later the same year he was appointed as parish priest at St Malachy’s, Liverpool, whilst continuing in office as chancellor. In October 1992, in recognition of his service to the archdiocese, he was appointed as a Prelate of Honour by Pope John Paul II.

He relinquished the office of chancellor in March 1995 and took up a new appointment as parish priest of Our Lady Immaculate and St Joseph, Prescot. Over the next 24 years he ministered faithfully to the people of that parish and for much of that time he also served as dean of Prescot. He finally retired from active ministry in September 2019. He continued to live in the presbytery at Prescot until ill health necessitated a move to a care home in the town and then to St Bartholomew’s Court in Roby, where he died on the evening of Thursday 7 July aged 87 and in the 60th year of his priesthood.

His funeral Mass was celebrated on Friday 15 July at Our Lady and St Joseph’s, Prescot, followed by burial in Prescot cemetery.

May he rest in peace.

Father

John Gidea (1937—2022)

John Alfred Gildea, the son of John and Janet Gildea, was born in Liverpool on 25 November 1937, and he was baptised a few days later at St Hugh of Lincoln, Wavertree. By the time he was of school age the family had moved from Liverpool, so he attended St Luke’s School, Whiston, before entering St Joseph’s College, Upholland, to begin studies for the priesthood. He was ordained by Archbishop Heenan in the college chapel at Upholland on 8 June 1963.

Following ordination, he served as assistant priest in several parishes across the archdiocese: St Agnes, Huyton, from August 1963; St Matthew, Liverpool, from August 1967; St Thomas of Canterbury, Waterloo, from August 1972; Holy Angels, Kirkby, from September 1974 and St Mark, Halewood, from February 1978. His pastoral ministry in these years, and indeed throughout his priestly life, was marked by a wonderful rapport with young people. Many of these skills were honed through his work as a chaplain to young people on the archdiocesan pilgrimage to Lourdes year by year. Whichever parish he served in, he was always an enthusiastic and committed supporter of young people travelling to Lourdes.

In March 1982 he moved to St Charles, Aigburth, Liverpool, to assist Fr Thomas Mangan with a view to succeeding him as parish priest, which he did later that year. Over the next several years he built on the foundations laid by his predecessors, allowing the parish to flourish and grow.

After sixteen fruitful years in Aigburth, he moved to St Peter and St Michael, Woolston, in September 1998. Here the people benefited from his tireless commitment to their pastoral care right up until the end of his life. In recent years, despite suffering a debilitating stroke, he showed great determination and tenacity in carrying on his active ministry and fulfilling his duties as parish priest.

He died suddenly after a very brief illness on Monday 17 October, aged 84 and in the 60th year of his priesthood

His funeral Mass was celebrated at St Oswald's, Padgate, on Thursday 3 November followed by committal at Walton Lea Crematorium.

May he rest in peace.

Father Bernard Jackson (1940—2022)

Bernard Jackson was born in Warrington on 29 August 1940, the son of James and Monica Jackson. A few days later he was baptised at Blessed English Martyrs, Haydock, where he spent his formative years attending the parish primary school before going on to study at the Thomas Linacre Technical School in Wigan. Subsequently, he was accepted as an ecclesiastical student and entered St Joseph’s College, Upholland. He was ordained in the college chapel by Archbishop George Andrew Beck on 12 June 1965.

Following ordination, he was appointed to St Clare’s, Liverpool, as one of the assistant priests to the then vicar general, Mgr Thomas Adamson. In addition to his parochial duties, he spent much of his time in hospital chaplaincy at both Sefton General and the Lourdes Hospital. At Sefton General Hospital he was chaplain to the Catholic Nurses’ Guild and, on occasion, played in the staff cricket team. In February 1973, he was appointed as assistant priest at Sacred Heart, Liverpool, and spent much of his time ministering to patients in the Royal Liverpool Hospital. He left Sacred Heart parish in January 1979 moving firstly to Sacred Heart, Chorley, and then in 1982 to St Aloysius, Roby.

His first appointment as parish priest came in March 1984, when he was asked to go to All Saints, Golborne. A major highlight of his tenure was the consecration of the new church, designed by

Clergy

the archdiocesan architect R T Edge in 1992. It was also at Golborne that he celebrated his silver jubilee of ordination.

In October 1995, he was asked to succeed Fr Kevin Ashton as parish priest of St Mary’s, Billinge. Overnight, he moved from one of the newest churches to one of the oldest churches in the archdiocese. He soon settled into this area steeped in Catholic history, where Catholics in earlier generations had been served from the nearby Birchley Hall. This was the parish to which he devoted himself zealously for the second half of his active priestly ministry, and where he celebrated his golden jubilee of ordination in 2015. As well as tending to the needs of his flock, he was also noted for tending to the grounds around the church. His tenure in Billinge was cut short by a very serious illness in April 2019 and he retired that summer. He spent his remaining years at a care home in Aughton.

He died on the afternoon of Tuesday 8 November aged 82 and in the 58th year of his priesthood. His funeral Mass was celebrated at St Mary’s on Saturday 19 November, followed by burial in St Mary’s churchyard.

May he rest in peace.

As part of Caritas Internationalis, the second largest social action network on the planet with a local presence in 165 countries and territories, we enable members of the Church in the archdiocese to reach out to their sisters and brothers across the world to wherever the Church is to be found, to help the poorest people in the remotest areas, war zones and places where structures need the greatest support. Across the archdiocese, together with the support of the clergy and schools, our parish and school volunteers educate, encourage and inspire this support enabling people to give, act and pray to help build the Kingdom of God around the world.
