Jubilee Year of Mercy 2016
Pope Francis said two important things in an early interview after he became Pope.
“If one has the answers to all the questions – that is proof that God is not with him. You must leave room for the Lord, not for our certainties. We must be humble.”
“We must enter into the adventure of the quest for meeting God; we must let God seek and encounter us”
We have the opportunity to do this by coming together to share our different Journeys in Faith over the next few months, on Monday evenings from 7.30pm in the Parish office.
It is mandatory that you attend the Journey in Faith sessions if you are looking to be baptised or confirmed in the Holy Name Catholic Church.
There will be a short talk on the theme followed by an opportunity for questions, discussion and sharing in the group.
