7–8pm PAROW CHURCH
Fr Kees Thönissen Cap
An hour of inspiration with guided prayer before the Blessed Sacrament.
FRANCIS EXPERIENCED GOD’S PASSIONATE & FIERY LOVE
IS ENJOYING SUCH LOVE POSSIBLE FOR YOU?
FRANCIS’ FIERY ‘LANGUAGE OF THE HEART’ SHOCKS US!
The Way of St Francis is marked by passion, fire, delight, joy, intensity, feeling, eros, even ecstasy.
You seldom hear this way of fiery love being taught in our churches.
St Francis shows us HOW to OPEN TO God’s LOVE
St Bonaventure says such love is available to every person!
LISTEN, LEARN, ASK, PRAY, RECEIVE!
Vandalism at the Church
Our Church has once again been victim to major vandalism and destruction.
The main electricity supply to the church has been cut off due to the overhead power cables having been disconnected and stolen.
The water supply to the Sacristy and surrounds were also damaged.
Hospitality Ministry
We are in the process of establishing a Hospitality Ministry to create a welcoming, reverent, safe and inclusive atmosphere, making all visitors and parishioners feel welcome, comfortable and at home.
If you feel you would like to help us achieve this, please contact the parish office.
