Join our Prayer Campaign
Prayer can be tremendously powerful, not only in providing us with hope, but also as a way of surrendering our worries and fears to God, who hears them. I invite you to gather each day as a family at 3 pm and pray 3 Hail Mary prayers for an end to the Pandemic. The three Hail Mary prayers devotion was loved and used by many great saints including St Anthony of Padua, St Leonard, St Alphonsus Liguori, St Gertrude and even Servant of God Eileen O'Connor as told to me by Sister Mary Margaret, of Our Lady's Nurses of the Poor in Coogee.
