Feast Day of the Week:

Our Lady of Lourdes

In 1858 the immaculate Virgin Mary appeared to Bernadette Soubirous, near Lourdes in France, in the cavern called “de Massabielle.” Through this poor, fourteen-year-old girl, Mary calls on sinners to change their lives. She has inspired in the Church a great love of prayer and good works, especially in the service of the poor and the sick.

PARISH CHOIR recommences in Church, 7pm – 8:30pm, Monday, February 24 – prac-tising for the Easter ceremonies, Feast of St Patrick and Anzac Day.

Parishioners are invited to be part of any or all of these celebrations. For further infor-mation please contact Parish Office.
