Reconciliation Night We are offering some extra reconciliation times in preparation for Holy Week and Easter. On Thursday 30 March we will hold a Reconciliation Service at Sacred Heart, Sandringham where the opportunity for individual confession will also be available. There is some information in the bulletin this week to help you prepare for confession. You can also find an examination of conscience here. |

Patrick Oration 2023 During the fourth annual Patrick Oration—delivered last Friday, on the feast day of our patron St Patrick—Archbishop Peter A Comensoli reflected on a question on the hearts of so many people in the Church: ‘Where have all the young people gone?’
He suggested that perhaps we have been asking the wrong question. Instead of asking, ‘When did the young lose Christ?’ (he doesn’t think they truly have), maybe we should be asking, ‘When did we lose being young in Christ?’ Pointing to Christ’s eternal youthfulness, and to just some of the ways young people in our Archdiocese are embracing Christ’s mission with boldness and joy, he encouraged us to ‘rediscover the young Church’ and reclaim a faith that will ‘lead us out into the world’.You can read or watch the whole Oration here.

Pope Francis asks us to re-consecrate ourselves to the Immaculate Heart of Mary Saturday will be the Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord, and our thoughts turn to 25 March last year, when, in union with all the bishops of the world, the Church and humanity, especially Russia and Ukraine, were consecrated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. Let us not tire of entrusting the cause of peace to the Queen of Peace. I would therefore like to invite every believer and community, especially prayer groups, to renew every 25 March the act of consecration to Our Lady, so that she, who is Mother, may preserve us all in unity and peace.READ POPE FRANCIS' GENERAL AUDIENCE HERE
