"Our Lord has written the promise of resurrection, not in books alone, but in every leaf in springtime." – Martin Luther King Jr.

At this special time of year, we have books to inspire and delight you. Accompany your little ones 'On the Road to Emmaus' or through 'Via Lucis: The Way of the Light'. Or perhaps, reflect with Fr Michael on the Gospel resurrection narratives in 'Alive'.

Feast of St Patrick

Feast of St Patrick

Date: 17th March 2022

Today is the feast day of St Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, Nigeria, Puerto Rico and Montserrat.

St Patrick, born in Roman Britain, was held in captivity in Ireland, before escaping, and returning as a missionary to convert the people of Ireland.

You can read more about St Patrick here

God our Father,

you sent Saint Patrick to preach your glory to the people of Ireland.

By the help of his prayers,

may all Christians proclaim your love to all men.

Grant this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,

who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,

one God, for ever and ever.

Amen
