GROW IN LOVE PROGRAMME
Grow in love is the name of the Religious Education programme that children use in school. This weekend, we help the children to extend their learning about God into the Parish community by welcoming them and their families to our Mass. We help them to understand the Rosary as a special prayer said by the Parish family, in which we recall events in the life of Jesus and his mother Mary. We can all make a special effort to say the Rosary, or part of it, during the month of October. May we all support each other as we endeavour to “grow in love” for God and for one another.
