We continue our prayers for the peaceful repose of the soul of Archbishop Tartaglia. We keep in our prayers, too, Monsignor Hugh Bradley who has been elected as Diocesan Administrator until a new archbishop is appointed for our archdiocese.
Confessions will be heard outdoors on Saturdays at the front door of the chapel house 4.15pm to 4.45pm, and on request. It would be appreciated if food bank donations are not dropped off there between 4pm and 5pm on Saturdays.
Lenten Resolution - It's that time of year when we start to think of choosing to give something up (or in some cases add something in) from our daily routines.
Ash Wednesday & Lent. It is so unfortunate that for Ash Wednesday this year, which is 17th February, we won’t be free to gather in the church to receive ashes and celebrate the beginning of Lent. Just to say, though, that there will be quite a few things for Lent being made available for you over the next few weeks. There will be a liturgy for Ash Wednesday that families can use at home and we’ll be making available other suggestions for praying at home.
