TWEET FROM POPE FRANCIS
We pray for the sick who are abandoned and left to die. A society is human if it protects life, every life, from its beginning to its natural end, without choosing who is worthy to live or who is not. Doctors should serve life, not take it away.
RECENTLY DECEASED
We pray for Katarina Kocijan, Lily D’souza, John Santamaria, Palmira Coelho and all who have passed away recently.
DEATH ANNIVERSARIES
We pray for Visitacion delos Santos, Lucia Baltero, Raymunda Legaspi, Concepcion Santos, Mary Casha, John Deguara, Maria & Luis Larranaga, Hugo Chetcuti, Robert Gomes, Irene Benoit, Benjamin Benoit, Michel Joseph, Peter Bridge, Rev. Jos Hoach, Maureen Cleur and all whose anniversaries occur at this time.
PRAYERS FOR THE SICK
We pray for Kevin McLoughlin, Leo Linehan, Gary Spotswood, Sean Donaldson, Liam Parr, Kath Meddings, Phylis Mills, Lucy Ballan, Irene Jones, Thais Long, Sr. Eileen Jones, Angela & Frank O’Brien, Barbara Brown, Vincent Jones, Gordon Newman, Glenna Pereira, Edith Street, Zandi Falzon, Camille Miles, Atima Chakraborty, Magdalena Marquez, Ashley Azavedo, Martina Serrao, Wilfredo Compuesto, Frank Maher, Melissa Galea, Jean Cameron, Adrian Wilson, Ellen Everett, Lisa Arenas, Baby Cora, Rosemary Fairney, Bill Thomas, Rosa Carullo, Justin Worsley, Pauline Simonides, Lydia Camelotti, Godwin Arandez and all who are ill in our Parish.
