Start of the Year of Mercy

This Tuesday marks the start of the Catholic Church’s Extraordinary Year of Mercy.

The church encourages us to perform spiritual works of mercy.

These include being compassionate; being patient with others even if

we are being treated unfairly; forgiving others, even if we do not

feel they deserve forgiveness. Each time we ‘show’ mercy,

we open ourselves to receive mercy from God.

We held a special assembly and each child was given special prayer card.
