TIMETABLE FOR THE SACRAMENT OF FIRST RECONCILIATION PROGRAM 2025

Ash Wednesday Mass 

We warmly invite you to our Ash Wednesday Mass on Wednesday, 5th March, at 12:00 pm in the Sts Peter and Paul School Hall.

This significant occasion in the Liturgical Calendar marks the beginning of the Lenten season, a time of prayer, fasting, and reflection as we prepare our hearts for Easter. Ash Wednesday reminds us of our call to repentance and renewal, symbolised by the blessing and receiving of ashes as a sign of humility and commitment to our faith journey.

ALL families are welcome.

Eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year C  Luke 6:39-45 A tree and its fruit

The call of today’s Gospel is beautifully captured in the Gospel acclamation verse from Philippians. Using the imagery of light, we are invited to ‘shine in the world’ in the way that stars light up the dark night sky. Our mission is not to be judges of others, assessing their behaviour. Instead, we are called to develop a clarity in vision through the guidance of trusted teachers. 

The wisdom which Jesus shares with us in this parable illuminates the pattern of our own psychological structure. That is, in being judgmental towards another we are often projecting something of the shadow side of ourselves onto that person. Jesus wisely advises us that before we cast judgement on another’s failings, we firstly examine the intentions of our own heart. Then with God’s grace we are empowered to draw from the store of goodness dwelling within us.
