Preparation for our Parish Feast
On the 13th of October our Parish celebrates its feast or the anniversary of its dedication. As a lead up to this, Fr Tony will be leading a Do-it-Yourself Retreat based on the famous Marian Consecration called 33 Days to Morning Glory. Thousands of people have done this retreat since 2011 and many have expressed that it “marks the beginning of a gloriously new day, a new dawn, a brand-new morning in one’s spiritual journey”. The retreat will start on the 10th of September. Click here for more details.
Eucharistic Adoration
The Holy Hour, as many know it, is a time to have a one-on-one conversation with Jesus and be renewed in the love, joy and peace that the Lord alone can give. Every Friday, 7:30 to 8:30pm. Click here to register.
Reconciliation
The Sacrament of Reconciliation is available by appointment. Please contact the Parish Office. You may also approach the Sacrament during the Holy Hour every Friday.

MGL’s commitment to Safeguarding Children
A recent independent audit by Catholic Professional Standards Ltd (CPSL) on the work of the Missionaries of God’s Love (MGL) reveals its passion for safeguarding. The MGL achieved an impressive result. You can view the CPSL report here and the Catholic Weekly article here.
