Parish Pastoral Council (PPC) Elections
Last weekend, we announced that we will have PPC elections. Please begin thinking about who you would like to see serve on the PPC. We will begin nominating possible candidates in February. The PPC is an important body that helps respond, with the clergy, to the parish’s pastoral needs.
The Pope’s Prayer Intention for January
We pray with Pope Francis for the Migrants, refugees and those affected by war that their right to an education, which is necessary to build a better world, might always be respected.
Mass Intentions
You can contact the office for Mass intentions. A suggested donation is R50 per Mass. The Mass intentions will be published so that people know which intention or who the Mass is being celebrated for.
Let us pray for the sick
Let us pray for all the sick of the parish. Should you wish to have names added to the list, please email the parish office. We pray, especially for the mother of Bishop Robert Mphiwe, Lehau Stephina Mphiwe, and Jenny Howard.
