Festival for St Colette


Saturday February 7th. 3.30

Annual St Colette Mass
With the blessing of expectant mothers, would-be parents and the newly born.


During her life St Colette, a 15th Century Poor Clare, was famed for her prayers for children - especially those very much wanted or on the way. The Annual Mass in her honour, as well as being a happy occasion where families bring their children and give thanks for their arrival, is an opportunity to receive a blessing with a relic of St Colette’s veil which she once wrapped round a dead child that the Lord subsequently restored to life.

Every one is welcome - and you do not have to be a baby (or expect one) to receive the blessing!
the Mass will be at here at the Poor Clare Colettines. Upper Aston Hall Lane, Hawarden North Wales CH5 3EN.
