A Mission is a chance for us all to ‘retreat’ a little from our daily routine and attempt to listen a little more intently to what God is currently saying to us, to discern the direction he is currently prompting us in. We believe that it’s easier for God to get through to us during such a time.
MISSION SERVICE is 9.30am & 6.30pm Mass: 10.25am & 7.25pm
Mon: Is our religion true? Tues: Repentance Weds: Our Lady
Thurs: Union with God: Grace Fri: Our Dead Each evening: Ways of praying
