YEAR OF GRACE    The Year of grace is an invitation to the Catholic Church in Australia to undertake a spiritual journey, a time of listening to the Spirit, a space to recognise God's grace in our lives and to encounter Jesus afresh.

We are asking God for a new and deep grace to forge the future. The Year of Grace is not a program or a series of events, but rather a call to prayer and listening to the Spirit for the wisdom needed for the future directions and priorities of the Church in Australia. It is time to be attentive to our relationships, healing hurts and breaking down barriers and divisions. It is about attending to God's Word, remembering with gratitude what God has done for use and encountering Jesus afresh. We begin our "Year of Grace" next weekend.

SACRAMENTAL PROGRAM   Our children are currently preparing to make their First Holy Communion during the weekend Masses of Pentecost – 26/27 May. They will also be confirmed by Bishop Brian Finnigan on 23 & 24th May. Please continue to pray for these children and their families during this very special time.
