“Guide his words and actions in truth and love”
We Pray
Lord God, you call shepherds to guide your people.
We thank you for our new Archbishop, Sithembele Sipuka.
Bless him with wisdom, courage, and compassion as he leads your Church.
Fill him with your Holy Spirit, guide his words and actions in truth and love, and keep him strong in faith and humble in heart.
May he be Christ’s heart of mercy, voice of hope, and hands of justice for all entrusted to his care, uniting us in faith and purpose.
Through Jesus Christ, your Son, our Lord.
Amen.
Blessing
May the God of love be with Archbishop Sithembele Sipuka,
and with all the faithful in the Archdiocese of Cape Town.
May our lives be continual giving and receiving of love with our God, our friends, and with all whose lives we touch.
May God’s love in us light fires of faith and hope, and may that fire grow deeply and enflame the earth.
May the blessing of love and friendship be with us always.

🌸 Women to Women Group – Donation Drive
“Dignity starts with the Basics”
In a world where many go without the basics, we are called to be hands of compassion and vessels of grace.
A simple toiletry item may seem small, yet it restores dignity, hope and a sense of worth. As we give, we reflect love in action – quiet, powerful and life-changing.
We invite you to join us in this act of kindness:
Donate toiletries and help uplift those in need.
🎉 Fundraising
We thank all parishioners for supporting the recent Cake Sale.
Funds raised (R3580) went towards new clothing for the Liturgical Dancers.
