FIRST COMMUNION PREPARATION 'Caring': This is the fourth theme of our children's preparation and our 11am Mass today is a celebration of this theme. We are looking at the scripture story, the Daughter of Jairus (Mark 5: 21-43) which focuses on the General Intercessions in the Mass. Like Jairus, we ask Jesus for help.
