My Dear Parishioners

Lent is a very special season and a real opportunity for us to renew and strengthen our
relationships with Almighty God and each other
During Lent there will be additional Masses and opportunities for us to come together to
pray,reflect and to make a real effort to do something extra over the next few weeks.
The Archbishop has produced a "Walk with Me " Prayer Book for us to use each day of
Lent along with the Lenten calendars.
lam sending prayer cards to all our school children and asking them to say that prayer
each day with their families. St Augustine's and Christ the King churches will be open
each morning before school to allow families to call into church for a moment of prayer
on the way to school.
