"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'.

Online retreat explored how we face pain and suffering

Last Saturday, we hosted the second of our two online Lent retreats, created by Fr Gerry O'Shaughnessy SDB and Sr Susan Richert PVBM.

Twenty five participants joined us on Zoom to explore the challenging topic 'Pain is inevitable; suffering is optional' and to share their own thoughts and experiences, along with some times of prayer and reflection. The aim was to look at how we face and acknowledge our pain, and how our faith can help us heal and move forward from our suffering. A summary of the content is available to download here.

There is another opportunity to join a Lenten retreat, this time with the Salesian Cooperators, where the topic for their Zoom retreat is 'Care for Creation'. Click below to find out more on our Events calendar.
