"Blessed are they who follow the law of the Lord!"

Adoration for Lent - I invite you, during the holy season of Lent, to take a few extra minutes each week to be still before God at our Saturday morning Adoration. If shopping at the cross, or out for a coffee, pop in to St Andrew’s for a few minutes of quiet prayer. Quiet your heart that you might hear His heart speak: Heart to heart.  Come with all your concerns and worries; come with all your hopes and desires; come as you are. But most importantly simply come with your heart. Place it all before Jesus truly and really present in the Blessed Sacrament. Quietly sit in His presence. Gaze upon Him as He tenderly gazes upon you. Listen to His quiet voice: Heart to heart.
Each Saturday during Lent beginning 29th Feb 10:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m.
“Be still and know that I am God.” (Psalm 46:10)​​    Fr Mackle
 
The shrine to Our Lady has been relocated to the left hand side of the Baptism mosaic. This location should be more conducive, hopefully, for prayer and devotion to Our Lady, especially for times before and after Masses.
