Visible Expression

The ecclesial community, while always having a universal dimension, finds its most immediate and visible expression in the parish. It is there that the Church is seen locally. In a certain sense it is...

"... the Church living in the midst of the homes of her sons and daughters..."

Pope John Paul II
Christifideles Laici [27]

RIPPLE AFRICA - Malawi, Africa

Last Sunday we heard about a project called ‘Ripple Africa’ from Sonya Pickervance, a parishioner of Saint Mary’s Parish; a small project which does tremendous work to alleviate the poverty and suffering among the people of Malawi. After hearing this talk and the enthusiasm Sonya has shown in giving up her job for three months and to go out and work on this project. I hope you can now agree with me and the decision of our Parish Pastoral Council to support the work of this worthwhile project?
