Next weekend at Stella Maris 10:30am 9th July young people from our Young Adults Group will be sent forth as World Youth Day Pilgrims. These people will go to Lisbon to deepen and celebrate their faith with young Catholics from around the world. We will bless their journey and pray for them as a community. Please continue to pray for our pilgrims: Luke, Lucy, Sophie, Shanel, Ron, Jes and Nicholas and for those pilgrims going from the Neo-Catechumenal Way
