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 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.
We will be hosting Confession during the following times:
There will be a series of Lenten talks based loosely around the Last Words From the Cross. These will take place in the O'Hara Parish Hall behind the church, lasting a maximum of one hour.
In addition, on March 27th at 6:30pm there will be a Healing Service in church. This service will allow us to present ourselves to God so that He may get a chance to begin/ continue His healing work in those parts of our lives that we know need His attention but which, so often, we try to shield from His sight.
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.
Sacred Heart’s Schola Cantorum will present their annual Lenten Choral Mysteries concert on Saturday, April 1st at 8 PM in Sacred Heart Church. suggested donation at the door is $20 General and $15 Students/Seniors
