We are St Francis Mission based in Blackpool UK. We run retreats for those who want a spiritual break. We have a small but lovely Oratory/Chapel of the Holy Spirit where the Blessed Sacrament is displayed. We have a great devotion to Mary chosen by God to bear His Son Jesus Christ the Saviour of the World.
We celebrate Mass in English French and Latin. We also run a Sanctuary for cats called Rainbow Bridge Sanctuary where abandoned cats are given a loving home with us.
We also feed abandoned street cats. We sell vestments and other religious articles made in UK and the Mission fields by Sisters so that we can buy the food and pay the vet's fees. Currently we look after 12" boys" and "girls".

They do a sterling service to both Cats and Dogs and are the only Animal Sanctuary on GOZO
If you have any cuddly toys or small lightweight gifts that they could sell intheir shop to fundraise the feeding and vets bill they would be so grateful. You can of course send them a cheque in sterling or Euro as Gozo is euro country. If you are planning to visit this beautiful Island of Gozo like we did do drop in poreferably with a bag of Dog or Cat food. Remember if you fly Air Malta they give you 22 kilo each lots of room for cuddly toys. Please note they are not open all day as they are very busy but do give them a call. They are behind the playing fields and local bus terminal in Vistorio the capital. Most people will show you the way as the locals are like the British very friendly. Kind Regards Fr Anthony
May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be always at your back,
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
The rains fall soft upon your fields and,
Until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

Patron Saint of Ireland
