VOCATIONS MORNING
Join us this coming Saturday (18 October) at St Patrick's in Kilbirnie (1 Childers Terrace in Kilbirnie) for a special morning for vocations.

The morning begins at 9:30am, and is a wonderful time to learn about and pray for vocations to the priesthood.

If you're thinking about the priesthood, we hope you can come along to join us!

For more information, please email l.hensel@wn.catholic.org.nz.

Praying for peace

Taking up the call from our Holy Father Pope Leo, Archbishop Paul invites us to pray in October for peace.

We hope you will join us in praying that we may live in harmony with one another here in our shared home on earth.
