Daily Verse of the day from the Gospel

 

First Holy Communion Preparations

Parents please find a Registration Form at the back of the church to enrol the names of your children for the Sacrament of Holy Eucharist. Forms should be brought to church when the first meeting takes place on Monday 8/10/2018 at 7:00pm.

Preparations for the Sacrament of Confirmation

Preparations for the Sacrament of Confirmation will resume on Saturday, 22nd September at 4pm.

Blessing of Pets

St. Francis of Assisi is the patron saint of animals and the ecology. His Feast day is celebrated on 4th October 2018. On Sunday 7th October 2018, we will bless our pets after the 10.30am Mass in the Presbytery Garden. The love we give to a pet, and receive from a pet, can draw us more deeply into the larger circle of life, into the wonder of our common relationship to our Creator.

On Sunday 18th November we will welcome Bishop Paul Hendricks who will be officiating at 10:30am Mass during which our Confirmation candidates will be confirmed.

Come Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and enkindle in them the fire of your love. Send forth your Spirit, and they shall be created. And You shall renew the face of the earth. Christ the Lord has promised us the Holy Spirit: Come, let us adore Him, Alleluia!
