WHATS ON…

OCTOBER IS MISSION MONTH Mission is a matter of the Heart that welcomes the Kingdom. Blessed Pauline Jaricot discovered this in her life of prayer and summed it up so well. “ Prayer is he Kingdom of God within us. May our hearts be overwhelmed by the infinite love of Jesus Christ!”. Mission is also a question of proclaiming the Kingdom of God, who is always close, loving, and merciful.

OCTOBER 2024 FOR A SHARED MISION Pope Francis asks for prayers so that the Church continues to support a synodal way of life, under the sign of co-responsibility, promoting participation, communion and a shared mission among priests, religious, and laypeople
