PRAYER REQUESTS

Individuals are being continued to be prayed for long after a prayer request has been received, so please email us back after a few months to let us know how things are. We are always pleased to hear from you.

Your intentions are being brought before the Blessed Sacrament during Adoration regularly during Lent.

The shrine is situated at Fernyhalgh 4 miles from Preston, Lancashire, England, UK. Devotion to Our Lady dates back there to the 11th century. Even during penal times apart from a period of five years, the shrine attracted pilgrims and was the focus of local Catholic prayer.

Since the Reformation a devotion to Our Lady as Queen of Martyrs has developed, which is reflected at Ladyewell in the reliquary, the presence of the Burgess Altar and the chapel of the English Martyrs.

There has never been an apparition of Our Blessed Lady at Fernyhalgh just continued prayer and petition over seven centuries, which is evident in the powerful atmosphere of prayer and peace that every modern day pilgrim expereinces. The shrine is today becoming increasingly popular as pilgrims visit the shrine and collect the holy water from the ancient well.

Prayer Intentions received before September 2009 were also remembered at the Reliquary of St. Therese of Lisieux on Saturday 26th September at Salford Cathedral, which was part of the reliquary's tour to England UK.
