The Holy Rosary is said before the 10:00 am Mass each weekday
The Holy Rosary is considered a perfect prayer because within it lies the awesome story of our salvation. With the Rosary in fact we meditate the mysteries of joy, of sorrow and the glory of Jesus and Mary.
It's a simple prayer, humble so much like Mary. It's a prayer we can all say together with Her, the Mother of God. With the Hail Mary we invite Her to pray for us. She joins Her prayer to ours. Therefore it becomes ever more useful, because what Mary asks She always receives, Jesus can never say no to whatever His Mother asks for. In every apparition, the heavenly Mother has invited us to say the Rosary as a powerful weapon against evil, to bring us to true peace.
With your prayer made together with Your heavenly Mother, you can obtain the great gift of bringing about a change of hearts and conversion. Each day, through prayer you can drive away from yourselves and from your homeland many dangers and many evils.

Praying the Scriptures
A small group of people meet every Thursday morning to share Scripture. This cross community meeting focuses on the Gospel reading for the following Sunday.
The format of the meeting is simple. It opens with a short prayer, then the Gospel for the following Sunday is read and we think about it in silence for a short time. A period of sharing, focused on what the Gospel is saying to each person challenges us to reflect on the relevance of the Gospel for us in the 21st century.
Why not join us at 10.30 am on Thursdays in the Parish Centre? The meeting usually finishes around 11 am.
Charles DeFoucauld Contemplation Group
Charles de Foucauld died alone, and without the immediate fellowship of others sharing his practice of the life of "Jesus at Nazareth" and hospitality in the desert of Algeria.
Yet he was successful at inspiring and helping to organise a "confraternity" within France in support of his idea. This organization called the Association of the Brothers and Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus consisted of lay and ordained members totaling 48 people at the time of his death.
The Charles DeFoucauld Group meets on the first Tuesday of every month in the Parish Centre
Divine Office
From ancient times the Church has had the custom of celebrating each day the liturgy of the hours. In this way the Church fulfills the Lords precept to pray without ceasing, at once offering its praise to God the Father and interceding for the salvation of the world.
The Divine office is recited after 10:00 am Mass every morning
