Prayer

Loving Father, So many times I turn away from you and always you welcome me back. Your mercy and love gives me confidence. Thank you for the invitation to share, fast and pray so that you can form a new heart within me. Your powerful compassion leads me to await with great hope the Easter joy you share with us. May the Lord bless us and bring us to everlasting life.

Amen.

Welcome

LENT ~ 'a time for renewing faith, hope & love' (Pope Francis)

Give it up for Lent!

The primary pillars of Lent are prayer, fasting and almsgiving. Giving something up is a simple way to combine these three pillars into one charitable activity. Giving up junk food, chocolate or watching TV is really a type of fasting.

One way we are able to do this as a Catholic Community is by supporting Project Compassion run by CARITAS Australia and over the next forty days of Lent we should be looking to make monetary contributions (big or small) to these boxes.

We are aware of many local families doing it tough given the current circumstances so prayers for those in need and random acts of kindness that don't cost money can be just as good as a monetary contribution!
