Fr Elijah's Cameron Appeal

Fr Elijah has asked us to say a very heartfelt thank you to everyone who has kindly donated clothes and other items. Your generosity has been overwhelming.

​

In order to now transport all of your donations to the Cameron Fr Elijah now has to hire a container. This is very costly and in order to help him with this there will be a basket at the back of our churches over the next three weeks for anyone who would like to give something to support Fr Elijah with the transport cost.

​

Thank you

May is the Month of Mary

During the month of May, why not consider some devotions to Our Lady…

Pray the Holy Rosary: Outside of the Mass, there is no prayer more pleasing to Our Lady and more efficacious for her intercession than the Holy Rosary.

Wear the Miraculous Medal: When Our Lady appeared to St. Catherine Laboure and gave her the vision of the Miraculous Medal in 1830, she promised great graces to those who would wear the medal.

The Brown Scapular: The Brown Scapular of Our Lady of Mt. Carmel has special prayers and graces associated with it, namely the famous “Scapular Promise” that those who die wearing Our Lady’s scapular will not spend eternity in hell.

The Five First Saturdays: Our Lady spoke of the Communion of Reparation devotion of the Five First Saturdays at Fatima on 13 July 1917, to pray for the conversion of Russia and she promises to assist those souls who make this devotion “at the hour of death with the graces necessary for salvation”.

Confirmation Journey 2022

In the last session we explored who Jesus is both as a physical human being who walked this earth and as the Son of God. 

By focusing on Jesus' earthly life, we were able to understand how he experienced the full range of what it is to be human. We moved on to his heavenly nature and his promises to be with us always. We discussed how we can grow in our relationship with Jesus into a life giving and fulfilling part of our lives.
