The necessity of our ongoing conversion

Led by Father José Costa, a Priest of the Family of the Immaculate Heart of Mary based in Fatima

Taking forward the vision of the Pope’s evangelisation:
Pope Francis has urged us to find new ways to bring evangelisation to the ends of the Earth

The real essence of the input is to walk alongside people in a spirit of positive and enthusiastic companionship rooted in Christ and to deepen people’s awareness of God’s presence in their lives, to empower the head, the heart and the soul. It should also help to maintain and enhance the spiritual and sacramental integrity of the parish.

Our Mission this year will be based around the timing of Saul’s conversion. Fr Costa will give us food for thought by asking the question, ‘If we are converted, why do we need an ongoing conversion?’ On the 25th January we keep the Feast of the Conversion of Saint Paul when we begin our Mission with Evening Mass and a talk afterwards.
