In the Catholic Church, the month of August is traditionally dedicated to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. This devotion is a way to honor Mary's inner life, her love for God, and her role in salvation history. It complements the devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, which is celebrated in June.

Here's why August is dedicated to the Immaculate Heart:                       

Complement to the Sacred Heart:
While June focuses on the Sacred Heart of Jesus, August offers a dedicated time to reflect on Mary's Immaculate Heart, which is closely linked to her Son's.                
Focus on Mary's Interior Life:
This devotion emphasizes Mary's virtues, love, and her complete alignment with God's will.                                                                                                             
Spiritual Connection:
It encourages believers to draw closer to Mary and, through her, to Jesus.

August 22: The Queenship of Mary, a feast day honoring Mary's role as Queen of Heaven.

Family Educator Initiatives continue this term with the Playgroup now every Monday morning 10am-11:30. The children are making new friends and having a great time. Walking for Wellbeing group is so much fun. We had our first walk around Balmoral and were lucky to have a sunny day & free coffee. Weather permitting we will continue to go to Balmoral. It is truly great for the soul.
Please come along and join us.

Daily Prayer to the Holy Family.
O most loving Jesus, Who by your surpassing virtues and the example of your home life hallowed the household in which you choose to live while on earth, mercifully look down upon this family, whose members, humbly prostrate before you, implore your protection.   
Remember that we are bound and consecrated to you by a special devotion. Protect us in your mercy, deliver us from danger, help us in our necessities, and impart to us strength to persevere always in the imitation of your Holy Family, so that, by serving you and loving you faithfully during this mortal life, we may at length give you eternal praise in heaven.   

O Mary, dearest Mother, we implore your assistance, knowing that your divine Son will hearken to your petition.                                                                           

Most glorious patriarch, St. Joseph, help us with your powerful patronage, and place our petitions in Mary's hands, that she may offer them to Jesus Christ.   

Amen.                                                                                                                                                                                                                      

Have a blessed week
