Community News
This Wednesday, 4th August, 41 children will be confirmed in the Sacrament of Confirmation and be sealed with the gifts of the Holy Spirit. It is an exciting time for our children and their family. These children have been attending classes with the Sisters and I would like to thank the sisters for teaching them. Please keep these children in your prayers.
This week is National Vocations Awareness Week, 1-8 August. It is “a week is set aside in our Church calendar to pray and promote our shared Baptismal call to follow and serve the Lord. Throughout National Vocations Awareness Week, we pray specifically for those discerning their calling and for those who are taking steps in their discernment. We pray for our young people responding to the call, those entering convents and seminaries, those living in discernment (such as in Canali House), for engaged couples and young people in ministry and mission.” Fr Stanley Orji, Vocation Director.

We saw this rainbow over the church on the 1st Sunday of Lent after our Spiritus Mass on Sunday at 5pm. That day the first reading was from the book of Genesis where it has the story of God making a covenant with Noah through the sign of the rainbow. It was amazing. It’s God’s sign for our parish.
