- Bp. Barron's Lent Reflections
  
  Monday, March 27, 2023
  
  by Bishop Robert Barron
  
  The woman caught in adultery is one of the clearest demonstrations of what René Girard called the scapegoat mechanism.
- Prayer of the Week
  
  God our Father, your Word, Jesus Christ, spoke peace to a sinful world and brought humankind the gift of reconciliation by the suffering and death he endured. Teach us, the people who bear his name, to follow the example he gave us: may our faith, hope, and charity turn hatred to love, conflict to peace, death to eternal life. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.
- prayer of the week
  
  Prayer of the Week Father of light, in you is found no shadow of change but only the fullness of life and limitless truth. Open our hearts to the voice of your Word and free us from the original darkness that shadows our vision. Restore our sight that we may look upon your son who calls us to repentance and a change of heart, for he lives and reigns with you for ever and ever. Amen.

- Men's Group
  
  Fr. Simon is looking to establish a group for the men of the parish to come together to learn more about the Faith and to pray together. There is a very loose format to start us off that demands as much or as little as you wish to give. The group is open to any man over the age of 18, single, married, Catholic, non-believer, parent, grandparent or not, English, American, Martian... whatever! There is no agenda; it's very much a 'let's give it a try' moment. To begin with, the group will meet on the last Wednesday of the month for one hour, commencing at 7pm. The first meeting will be March 29th in St. Anthony Hall in the grounds of the school.
