International Day of Charity
International Day of Charity
05/09/2024
Here's a short clip (1:00) about this particular day!
As you'll have seen from the clip above. this day coincides with the anniversary of the death of Mother Teresa, now St. Teresa of Calcutta (Kolkata).
CLICK HERE TO SEE just a few of her sayings (2:17) which we offer this day as an invitation to prayerful reflection and challenge!
It may be very early in the term but it's good to reflect on how we might be able to act compassionately to support charities which matter to us.
So, you are invited to pray for:
- all who need a little help;
- those who already devote themselves to serving other;
- inspiration and initiative in developing your own charitable efforts.
St. Julie: pray for us, protect us and bless us. -

Nativity (birth) of Our LadyNativity (birth) of Our Lady
08/09/2024
This is the day the Catholic Church marks the birth of Mary, the mother of Jesus - Our Lady. St. Julie had such a devotion to Our Lady that she named the order of nuns she founded the Sisters of Notre Dame! Notre Dame is, of course, French for Our Lady.
It's a perfect day to sing Happy Birthday - and also to say the Hail Mary! CLICK HERE to join in with the video doing just that!
