Don't forget to adjust your clocks...see you all at Palm Sunday celebrations tomorrow.

Stations Mass Venue: Home turf Time: 7.30pm Come one...come all

Just a note to wish all our women, with or without children, a very happy mothering Sunday! May your hard work and patience be rewarded with joy and blessings!

School remains closed tomorrow. The mass in school at 8.30am is also cancelled. The funeral service at 2.15pm should still hold. Let us continue to stay safe and endeavour to check on the elderly in our community.

NO Eucharistic Service today. If you know anyone that comes and is not on this forum please help inform them. Thank you. Let everyone stay safe.

Due to severe weather conditions, our Primary school is closed today.

Yesterday we held our open forum in the parish and major decisions were made with regards to 1. The name for our future Parish: The Bishop will be given 3 names to choose from: - Parish of the Nativity - Parish of the Holy family & Immaculate Conception - St. John Paul II Parish 2. Sunday Mass times From Easter Sunday, our mass times will be amended to the following: St. Mary's 9.30am Holy family: 11.15am St. Mary's: 6pm The Vigil Mass on Saturday evening at Holy Family will no longer hold from the month of April. We as a community are not oblivious of the difficulties associated with any form of change. These difficulties are not only felt by the parishioners but also by the priest himself. I therefore plead with us all in the Spirit of communion and charity to accept these changes and hopefully adapt to them gradually. I want to thank all the wonderful parishioners at St. Mary's for their graciousness and understanding towards the community at Holy family. That is what Christianity is all about. Thank you. That's me done. I can now retire 😆

Lent is about permitting ourselves to have some discomfort, going out of our regular schedule to do something spiritual, something edifying...all for the right reasons. Stations of the Cross @ 7pm every Wednesday in alternating churches. Today we are at St. Mary's. Allow yourself this little discomfort...

Just got this email. It's interesting the research these scammers have to do to make their scheme look believable...or is it an inside job? Moral of the story: if it is too good to be true..then it is too good to be true...stay awake!! Dear Rev .......
