We recently welcomed Fr Marcel back home to our Northside Community.  We continue to keep him and his family in our prayers.

Ash Wednesday 2020

Our schools and parishes came together to begin Lent with Ash Wednesday School Masses.  In Fr Marcel’s homily he encouraged us to ‘trust in the one who sees in secret to build up our communities and make us a blessing to each other’

Ritual of Remembering Baptism

At our Masses on the Second Sunday of Lent children preparing for their reception of the Sacraments of Confirmation and First Eucharist in July this year and the celebration of the Sacrament of Reconciliation at the end of March participated in a Ritual of Remembering Baptism.

Across our three parishes there are 86 children enrolled in the 2020 Sacramental Program.

Together with their parents, they promised to pray to Jesus each day and continue to think about what it means to follow him.    Parents re-committed themselves to the promise to give their children every opportunity to know Jesus, the same promise they made at their Baptism. 

Members of our faith communities were invited to pray for the children and their families making them welcome among us.
