Parish Notices

Prayer for Pope Leo XIV

Please pray for the Holy Father’s recovery and healing. May the Lord’s tender and merciful love provide every peace, comfort and consolation. And may our Blessed Mother be ever close to him, carrying him in her gentle care.
Archbishop Peter Comsensoli

Month of the Holy Rosary

October is traditionally known in the Catholic Church as the Month of the Holy Rosary, so we are called to grow close to Jesus through meditation on his life by walking through it with Mary, the model of discipleship. Each week we will offer a way of doing this in our bulletin.
Mary the widow
It is clear at some stage Joseph died well before Jesus began his ministry. Anyone who suffers such grief at the loss of a loved one can identify with Mary. Pray for those who are moving through painful farewells.
Jesus on the Cross
Jesus to his Mother “Woman this is your Son” and to the disciple standing there “This is your Mother”. Mary is Jesus’ gift to the Church. Mary place me with your Son.
Mary holding her crucified Son

Teach us to embrace our losses with courage. Mary five strength and courage to all who are suffering. Remember those who come to mind.
