What's on in June?
|
June sees us begin again the liturgical
season of Ordinary Time. However, there is nothing
"ordinary" about it at all. It is the time when we continue
to live, learn, grow and strengthen ourselves and others in our life of
faith and discipleship as renewed within us during the season of Easter.
Along with the events listed
in this calendar I would like to draw to your attention our free weekly
small group resource Faith Circles. These short
reflective pieces offer participants the opportunity to reflect with Pope
Francis on the mystery and meaning of mercy in our lives. Why not get
together as a family or group of parishioners and use these as the basis of
a weekly or fortnightly small group reflection. Go to www.faithcircles.dow.org.au
to learn more and to signup for the Faith Circles email.
