Dear Parishioners,
As September arrives it isn’t just school children who have feelings of “New Year”. Here in the parish various programmes are getting underway once more. Many thanks to all who lead these programmes – Children’s Liturgy etc.
I particularly commend the Year of Prayer events. The series of presentations on the Our Father looks very promising. Please come along and invite your friends, especially those in other churches. All will be welcome.
God Bless, Fr Doug
