St St. Philip’s and St Clare’s are holding an Advent Parish Mission from Monday December 9th – Wednesday December 11th, 2024. The theme is ‘Does Christ still heal today?’ It is being presented by the Servants of the Cross, and will include teaching on the healing ministry of the Church, plus activation exercises in the practice of praying with others for healing.
The mission will include worship from the sisters of the Servants of the Cross, plus teaching by Fr Kenneth Lao, of the Companions of the Cross, and Sr Anna Chan, of the Servants of the Cross. Following on from the recent Life in the Spirit seminars, and Pope Francis’ recent teaching on the charisms of the Spirit, the mission will explore the different ways in which Christ still heals in and through the Church today. If you have a need to experience the healing power of the Spirit of Christ, I encourage you to attend our parish mission.
Monday 9th December begins the mission and will be held at St Philip’s, at 7pm. Tuesday 10th December’s mission service will be held at St Clare’s, Dwyer Hill, also at 7pm. Both evenings will finish at 9pm. There will not be Mass on either Monday 9th, or Tuesday 10th December. The third night of the mission will be held at St Philip’s, again beginning at 7pm, and will include the opportunity to receive the sacrament of reconciliation and individual prayer ministry.
If you have doubted whether Christ still heals today, this Mission will answer your doubts. Fr Bob
