BAPTISM: We welcome into our Community, Isabel May Mulligan and John Aidan Megone who are to be Baptised today. Congratulations to both families.

FIRST COMMUNION PREPARATION: 'Forgiving' is the second of our nine themes. Each theme is centred on a specific action in family living, in the life of Jesus and in a particular part of the Mass. The action of 'Forgiving' is related in the story of Zacchaeus who was a tax collector. The Eucharist helps us to forgive and to seek forgiveness, and to seek forgiveness, and to grow in love with God and one another.
