BAPTISMS
Contact Fr. Sean.
MARRIAGES
The Diocese requests couples to give
Fr. Sean at least 6 months notice,
especially if they intend to be married
outside the Parish.

YOUR UNDERSTANDING, SUPPORT AND COOPERATION PLEASE.
As announced at all Masses last weekend,
we sadly discovered discarded
Hosts under the benches.
As a result, each one of us is requested to receive and consume Holy Communion in front of th Minister before they move away.
We ask parents to be aware as well.
Thank you for your words of sympathy and encouragement last weekend.

REQUESTING MASS FOR
A PARTICULAR INTENTION
It is a long-established and laudable
Catholic custom to ask that Mass be
offered for a particular intention.
Please never feel that a Mass cannot
be offered for your intention
because of financial difficulty.
The grace of the Mass is never bought or sold.
Its true price has already been paid
for us in the saving death and resurrection
of the Lord Jesus.
Mass intention envelopes are available
at the entrances to the church.

ENCYCLICAL LETTER
MAGNIFICA HUMANITAS OF
HIS HOLINESS
POPE LEO XIV
ON SAFEGUARDING
THE HUMAN PERSON IN THE TIME
OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
27. In light of what has been said so far,
the Church's Social Doctrine can be
seen more authentically.
It is not a handbook of principles
and norms to be applied, but
a process
of shared discernment.
It is born from the encounter
between the eternal truth of the Gospel
and the questions of history.
It allows itself to be challenged by
the signs of the times, and draws
nourishment from the contributions of
science, culture and human experience.
Therefore, when the dignity of our brothers
and sisters is violated, when politics fails to
address the tragedies of humanity, when
the economy turns against the person or
science oversteps the limits of its
competence, the Church — together with
other Christian denominations and
believers of other religions — must make
her voice heard, not in order to dominate,
but to promote communion.
Understood in this way, Social Doctrine
becomes a theology of communion
in history, a history in which the Word
made flesh continues to be present
through dialogue, memory and prophecy.

DISCOVERING CATHOLIC FAITH -
JOIN OUR JOURNEY
Are you curious about the Catholic faith?
Do you feel drawn to explore a deeper relationship with God?
We warmly invite you to join the
Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults
(RCIA)
- a beautiful journey of faith,
prayer, and community, open to:
-
Adults seeking to become Catholic
-
Older children who
wish to join the Church
-
Baptised Christians who want to
complete their initiation into
the Catholic Church
What is RCIA?
RCIA is not just a "course"
but a spiritual journey.
Guided by the parish community, participants gradually discover the Catholic way of life through prayer, reflection, and fellowship.
Along the way, there are special liturgical rites that affirm and support you, leading up to the most joyful moment of all - receiving the Sacraments at the Easter Vigil and becoming
a full member of the Catholic Church.
Please see Father Sean after Mass or Email
