Corpus Christi Mass (19th June 12pm)
come join us
Corpus Christi Mass (in the Church)
You are invited to join us for a special Corpus Christi Mass on Sunday 19th June at 12pm.
After the Mass there will be a special procession where we journey with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament.
It’s a time to renew our faith in the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist and to commit ourselves anew to love of Jesus.
After the Mass there is a gathering in the Parish hall where the children of our Parish who have received their First Holy Communion this year will receive a memento of this special occasion.

Visio Divina
A visual journey through Lenten Art
Filled with the Holy Spirit, Jesus left the Jordan and was led by the Spirit through the wilderness, being tempted there by the devil for forty days. (Luke 4:1-2).
1st Sunday of Lent
Click on the image. Look at Jesus’ posture. Look at his face and expression. Observe the landscape. Christ went to the desert to begin His ministry, why? Why go here?
Imagine coming across Jesus here. What would you say to Him? What would His response be?
Jesus took with him Peter and John and James and went up the mountain to pray. As he prayed, the aspect of his face was changed and his clothing became brilliant as lightning. (Luke 9:28-29)
2nd Sunday of Lent
Click on the image. What do you see?
Imagine yourself in the scene. Imagine witnessing Jesus transfigured in this most glorious way. What do God the Father’s words mean – “This is my Son, the Chosen One. Listen to him.”?
