Remembrance Day is commemorated every year on 11 November to mark the end of the war which took effect at eleven o'clock in the morning—the "eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month" of 1918. 

On this day we remember all those who have died in wars.

Prayer for Remembrance Day

 Let us pray for all who suffer as a result of conflict,

 and ask that God may give us peace:

 for the service men and women who have died in the violence of war

, each one remembered by and known to God;

 may God give peace.

God give peace.

For those who love them in death as in life,

 offering the distress of our grief and the sadness of our loss;

may God give peace.

God give peace.

 For all members of the armed forces who are in danger this day,

remembering family, friends and all who pray for their safe return;

may God give peace.

God give peace.

 For civilian women, children and men whose lives are disfigured by war or terror,

calling to mind in penitence the anger and hatreds of humanity;

may God give peace.

God give peace.

For peacemakers and peacekeepers, who seek to keep this world secure and free;

may God give peace.

God give peace.

For all who bear the burden and privilege of leadership, political, military and religious;

asking for gifts of wisdom and resolve in the search for reconciliation and peace;

may God give peace.

God give peace.

O God of truth and justice, we hold before you those whose memory we cherish, and those whose names we will never know.

Help us to lift our eyes above the torment of this broken world, and grant us the grace to pray for those who wish us harm.

As we honour the past, may we put our faith in your future; for you are the source of life and hope, now and for ever. Amen.

SACRAMENTAL PROGRAM 2020

Due to the continuing COVID restrictions, there will be no  celebration of the Sacraments in 2020. The children in grade 6 have been prepared for the Sacrament of Confirmation and will hopefully celebrate it next year. The children in grade 4 are being prepared for the sacrament of First Eucharist and will receive First Communion next year. The children in grade 3 are being prepared for the sacrament of Reconciliation and will receive it early next year.

Hopefully we will be able to accommodate the extra numbers in 2021.
