Letter from Fr Laurence
Dear Parishioners,
I am delighted to have been asked to come to your Parish and look forward to leading you in a Mini Mission with the theme of ‘Rejoice in the Lord’. It consists mainly of Morning Masses and Evening Services at which some key issues of the faith are explored and celebrated.
All are welcome: those who have lived in the Parish for a long time, and those who are new to the Community. Whether you are strong in your faith or perhaps you are searching or you have lost trust in the Church, please know that there is a place and space for everyone.
A mission is a unique time of blessing and grace. Please join in this special event in the life of your parish and encourage family and friends to participate in the Mission. Your presence will make a difference!
May the Lord bless you and your loved ones, and may this Mission be a time of renewal for all.
God Bless, Fr Laurence, CSsR
