This is a wonderful opportunity for us a Parish to show solidarity with the poor and marginalised and to recognise the realities around us. Spearheaded by the SVP we will be distributing sandwiches around the Cathedral precinct. Let us come together as parishioners and mark this conscientizing day and together make a difference. We would also like to thank everyone who made donations or came along yesterday (16 November) to make the sandwiches. Jesus reminded us that the poor will be with us always (Mt 26:11), let us importantly mark this day but never lose sight of the needs of those around us throughout the year. Please continue to support the SVP and our Parish Outreach.

THE SHORTENED JUBILEE PRAYER
Father in heaven, may the faith you have given us in your Son, Jesus Christ, our brother, and the flame of charity enkindled in our hearts by the Holy Spirit, reawaken in us the blessed hope for the coming of your kingdom.
May the grace of the Jubilee reawaken in us, Pilgrims of Hope, a yearning for the treasures of heaven. May that same grace spread the joy and peace of our Redeemer throughout the
earth. To you our God, eternally blessed, be glory and praise for ever, Amen.
