St. Vincent de Paul: the local branch conveys thanks for the continuous financial support received from parishioners through their use of the “SVP Envelope” that was introduced last year owing to Covid restrictions around Sunday Mass gatherings. The “SVP Envelope” replaced the monthly Church-door Collection - and the local branch is happy to stay with this arrangement for the time being - ever grateful for the generous offerings that parishioners continue to make. Thanking You!

Pope Francis’ Prayer to Saint Joseph

Hail, Guardian of the Redeemer,

Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

To you God entrusted his only Son;

in you Mary placed her trust;

with you Christ became man.

Blessed Joseph, to us too,

show yourself a father

and guide us in the path of life.

Obtain for us grace, mercy and courage,

and defend us from every evil.

Amen

A Prayer for the Earth (from Laudato Si, 246)

All-powerful God, you are present in the whole universe

and in the smallest of your creatures.

You embrace with your tenderness all that exists.

Pour out upon us the power of your love,

that we may protect life and beauty.

Fill us with peace, that we may live

as brothers and sisters, harming no one.

O God of the poor,

help us to rescue the abandoned and forgotten of this earth,

so precious in your eyes.

Bring healing to our lives,

that we may protect the world and not prey on it,

that we may sow beauty, not pollution and destruction.

Touch the hearts

of those who look only for gain

at the expense of the poor and the earth.

Teach us to discover the worth of each thing,

to be filled with awe and contemplation,

to recognise that we are profoundly united

with every creature

as we journey towards your infinite light.

We thank you for being with us each day.

Encourage us, we pray, in our struggle

for justice, love and peace
