DAILY PRAYERS
Daily prayers are at 6:00 pm every day on ZOOM.
We say the Angelus (or Regina Caeli in Easter time), Rosary and Prayer of Pope Francis to Mary during Coranavirus pandemic. Since this it is The Year of St Joseph, and in line with request from the Pope, we have added a prayer to St Joseph. If you wish to join this group please contact the Parish Office. All most welcome especially in this time of great need for prayer.
Below please download our Prayer Booklet especially compiled for this time of COVID-19. (EDITION 4: 30 June 2020)
