Scope and content

It is not a Parish; became a regular Mass centre when Joe Higham retired there from Salford. Might be closed down because of difficulty in finding a resident priest. Suggests he considers it all to be temporary until situation becomes clearer; do not be "camping out" - claim from Sick Clergy Fund; charge necessities to the Diocese.
