Novena in preparation for Consecration to the Immaculate Heart of Mary
It is our hope to consecrate the parishes of St Johnβs and
Blessed Sacrament to the Immaculate Heart of Mary on the feast day of 8th December. This is a way of entrusting all our parishioners, our parish area, our needs and cares to Our Lady. We have to, of course, prepare ourselves for it. To do so, please join in this novena of prayer, beginning on Wednesday, 29 November. Thanks to all those who promised rosaries towards the needs of the parish. Let us pray for the Lord to open our hearts more deeply to his grace!
Day One (29th November)
Let us pray today for all the families in our parish. May the Holy Family inspire love, mercy, faithfulness and joy, especially in families where it is lacking. May the larger family of our parish become a true community of love, infused with the fire of the Spirit.
