Do something for Lent! Hearts on Fire
The parish will offer a Lenten programme with the assistance of the Jesuit Institute. It will be rooted in the Ignatian tradition but focus on many facets of prayer and spiritual growth. The program will run for five Sundays in Lent from 11h15-13h00. So often, people seek to do something enriching and meaningful for Lent. This is your opportunity. The course will also be offered at a greatly reduced rate, which includes all the sessions and a manual R250. We really encourage you to join this program; you will benefit!
