MASS IN PADUA
Over a thousand petitions were prayed for at the Altar in the chapel of St Anthony last week. These were the petitions many of you requested in the last few weeks which Fr Michael remembered with the pilgrims who travelled with him. After the Mass the petitions were taken and placed at the tomb of St Anthony in the chapel. Thanks to everyone who made the pilgrimage such a wonderful trip.

desire to give your Church,
Helpers in the work of tomorrow. AMEN
