Quietness (Reverence) in

Do remember that the “loop system” operates here. The five-week Lenten Course: “We Dare to Ask”: This year’s five week Lenten Course, “We Dare to Ask”, invites parishioners to prepare to renew their Baptismal promises at Easter. The resource reflects on our vocation in God’s plan of salvation, Christ’s self gift, and the sacramental life of the Church. It encourages us, despite the world’s distractions, to turn back to God with contrite hearts and seek his mercy, so that we may renew our covenant with Christ and live more deeply as his baptised sons and daughters. The full resource is available Here…. Each weekly session also has its own page: Week One…. Week Two…. Week Three…. Week Four…. Week Five….
