+ Preparations For Holy Week: A Special Meeting for Parish Council will take place on Sunday 3rd April after 09:00 AM Mass. In order to have our Holy Thursday celebration of the Haggadah/Passover Seder Plate, on Thursday the 14th April, we need to prepare the food and the hall in advance. Could all who are willing to help with preparation of food, laying of tables or willing to give donations, please meet with Margaret next Sunday 27th March after Mass or phone 064 377 5048. 

+ SHARING IS CARING: Should you need any help with food, please speak to Margaret or Father Shibu. Thank you for the donations you generously make every week. Please bring along some Toilet paper, toothpaste soap, Laundry soap, deodorant and or other cleaning materials next week. All donations can be placed in the container provided.

+ Repository: We have a variety of Rosaries, Crosses and other Icons available for purchase. Please make suggestions for additional items to stock and purchase to Lionete or Margaret. These items are vital in deepening of our faith and keeping us close to the Lord. 

+ Catechism: Parents and Youth remember that although there are not classes during school holidays Mass attendance is not optional. 

+ Bishops Lenten appeal: A second collection will take place every Sunday until Easter and form part of our Lenten alms-giving. Please use the envelopes provided. The money is distributed for the support of the Total Mission of the Church in South Africa.

+       Stations of the Cross: Every Friday in Lent, we will follow Jesus on the way to the cross. Let us become pilgrims and walk with our Lord. It is a wonderful time to reflect on our own spiritual strengths or shortfalls and how we have supported or denied Jesus in our daily lives. Time 18:30

+       C.A.N.S.A Relay For Life Pretoria: Thank you Yolande and your team from our Parish for representing us at this wonderful charitable event yesterday. Our prayers are with all who are suffering from cancer and appreciate the wonderful work C.A.N.S.A .does. 

+ Sanitizing prior to communion: Those who are receiving Holy Communion, please line up in advance to antisense your hands

+ Sanitizing of the Church: Please continue to sanitize the Church after Stations of the Cross on Friday evenings as well as after 07:30 Mass on Sundays.

+           Personal Safety: Parents should please accompany children when they need to go to toilet. This is necessary, for your children’s safety and to prevent kids from vandalizing the church’s property.
