This Sunday,

Feb 2nd, is the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord, also called Candlemas.

(See link below on brief teaching regarding this feast )


During this Mass, Fr Joseph will be blessing the candles we will be using at all our liturgies for the year. The candle represent the light of Christ who came to restore us to God. (Refer to Luke 2:29-32)


If you would like to have blessed Candlemas candles for your altar at home, please bring your own candles which Father can bless at our Mass. God desires that the light of Christ burn brightly within us and that our families. 



Total Consecration to Jesus thru Mary



The Feast of the Presentation of Jesus is very much a part of our Jubilee celebration. We had been praying the 33 day preparation for total consecration to Jesus thru Mary, based on Fr Boniface Hick's book “Fruit of Her Womb”. We began this daily 33 days of prayer and reflection on New Year’s Eve, the start of our 2025 Jubilee Year, and we will end this on Sunday, on the Feast of the Presentation of Jesus.


This was our first step: to entrust our Triple Jubilee to Mary.


As we make an offering of our lives to God on the Feast of the Presentation, we consecrate our lives to Jesus thru Mary.


May we, like Simeon and Anna, patiently await God’s word in the silence of our hearts and respond in faith and obedience.

Tomorrow

Saturday, February 1st

We have begun our 2025 Triple Jubilee Year in the parish: first, we are celebrating the Jubilee of the Universal Catholic Church called “The Jubilee of Pilgrims of Hope”, and secondly, by God’s providence, it happens that this year our parish is celebrating our 150th Anniversary of founding as a parish (1875) and the 50th anniversary of being re-founded as a charismatic parish (1975).  

We have a number of Jubilee celebrations lined up throughout the year.

 

The 2 main celebrations are our Jubilee Sunday with Cardinal Tobin on May 4 and our Grand Jubilee Pentecost celebration on June 8:


Other tentative events include 5 Jubilee pilgrimages and 4 Jubilee outreach events. Sign up sheets are in the church entrance for those who have not signed up for to participate in our Jubilee events.

See our month-to-month Jubilee Calendar of the Year here.
