Sunday of Easter
May
The Month Of Mary
Pray the Rosary
May is the month dedicated to Mary.
‘The Church’s
devotion to her is intrinsic to Christian
worship’ Mary plays a significant
part in the Easter story. A flowering plant
or a vase of flowers could be put next to
an image of the Blessed Virgin and each
day a small prayer or recite the rosary
to her during this month.
O
Mary, conceived without sin
pray for us who have recourse to thee.

| Vision
Seminar
Vision is a Life-changing experience. People learn
to see themselves as God see them, in a totally
positive light. They learn to use the beatitudes
to move from the negative world of scarcity to
God’s world which is full of abundance.
The result is that people experience fulfilling
lives and improved relationships. One of the biggest
benefits is that people learn a new and powerful
way to pray and to meditate something that appeals
to all age groups. The seminar is suitable for
14 year olds and upwards. For further information
