Taking place in Vianney House on this Friday 6th, as well as on 20th & 27th March from 12.30pm to 1.30pm.

Each week, we will begin each event by watching a 3-part EWTN docuseries on ‘Seeking
Beauty’.

Please make sure you sign up using the sheet available this weekend in porch until Thursday after Mass.

All proceeds go towards Mary's Meals.

Prayer for Mary's Meals work:
One way you can support our work is by saying the Mary's Meals prayer.
Our Father, give us this day our daily bread
and forgive us for the times when we take more
than our share of the bread that belongs to all.
Let us help You fill the starving with good things,
not with scraps from our table.
Teach us how to share what is not ours to keep.
Clothe us with Your love that we may complete
each good work You created us to do.
Place in our hearts Your compassion for each starving child
and use our little acts of love so that they starve no more.
Amen.

POPE'S MARCH PRAYER INTENTION

1/3/2026

 
For disarmament and peace.
Let us pray that nations move toward effective disarmament, particularly nuclear disarmament, and that world leaders choose the path of dialogue and diplomacy instead of violence.
