The Pope's Intentions for March 2025
FOR FAMILIES IN CRISIS
Let us pray that broken families might discover the cure for their wounds through forgiveness, rediscovering each other’s gifts, even in their differences.
Tap-and-Go Machine for Parish. The machine is near the Divine Mercy Picture and is clearly marked.
Eucharistic Adoration
The Archdiocese has requested Parishes to promote Eucharistic Adoration. While we already have Eucharistic Adoration following the midweek 10 am Mass until 11.30 am, it is proposed to have Adoration on Wednesdays from 11 am until 7 pm. We are asking that three to four people may spend one of each of the hours in the Blessed Sacrament Chapel. If you are in a position to volunteer for one of these hours, please leave your name and contact number on the rota sheet in the Sacristy. The commencement date will be announced when we fill the rota in the next couple of weeks.
