FAMILY EDUCATOR UPDATE
Pope Francis has asked that the year 2024 be dedicated to a “great symphony of prayer” as the church prepares for the Jubilee of 2025.
Here is a resource for you to browse, Teach Us To Pray see here.
It is a document described as a preparation document for the Year of Prayer, there is a wealth of great resources contained within its pages. We still have 3 months of the year to go as we prepare for the Jubilee 2025.
The Jubilee year will offer the faithful opportunity to participate in various jubilee events at the vatican & in their own dioceses. The great tradition of opening the Holy Door will begin when Pope Francis opens the Holy Door of st. Peter’s Basilica on December 24, 2024.
The year of the Jubilee is to remind us that we worship and follow a god who brings freedom.
September 8th we celebrate the feast day of The Blessed Virgin Mary.
In fact, the month of September, the Church celebrates three Marian feasts in one week: the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary (8th September), the Holy Name of Mary (12th September) and Our Lady of Sorrows (15th September).
Congratulations to all the children who will be receiving First Holy Communion, with the first session on Saturday night.
May God fill you with the Holy Spirit and make you one with Christ.
Many Blessings on your First Holy Communion day.
