Introduction:
In this special season of the Church year, we want to invite you to join us as a parish family and let us together journey deeper into the heart of God. Each year the Church beckons and calls us to come back to the Lord with all our hearts, and gives us many opportunities and ways to recommit our lives to God. This culminates with the celebration of Holy Week and Easter.
This lent we present you with a variety of ways that you and your family can journey meaningfully through these weeks. We want to encourage you to do this with the bigger picture of our parish family in mind. It is our heart's desire to see a renewal within our Parish and this starts with renewal in the hearts of each individual that make up this Parish Family.
Join us on this Lenten Journey.
May the love of Jesus call you back to himself,
Fr Ralph and all the Parish Team.
Each Friday during Lent, St. Mary’s will continue the prayerful tradition of gathering for Stations of the Cross, to remember our Lord’s Passion. We will begin at 6pm in the Church. We will also be livestreaming for those who wish to participate from home.

As part of the Lenten Book Program, the Pastoral Council has chosen Matthew Kelly’s latest book, I Heard God Laugh: A Practical Guide to Life’s Essential Daily Habit. It is a great companion to Dynamic Catholic's BEST LENT EVER. Grab a book at any of the church's entrances. You can sign-up for their program at their website. Have your best lent ever!
