Parish 

• Spiritual resources
  • In times like this, prayer is of immense importance and I do urge you all to turn to the Lord, our refuge and our strength. We are constantly told in Sacred Scripture not to be afraid and to trust in God. While we must follow all the public health advice about what to do to stay healthy and prevent the spread of the virus, we must also raise our hearts and minds to our loving Saviour and offer prayers for everyone: the human family across the planet as we all face this situation together; our nation and it’s leaders, our community, our family & friends and ourselves. We pray especially for those who have become ill, those self-isolating, those who labour on the front lines of our health services. We pray too for those who have died and their grieving families. May the good Lord bless and comfort us all.
• Sacraments & Ceremonies
