As Pope Francis has invited us to renew the Act of Consecration to Our Lady on the Solemnity of the Annunciation and to pray for Ukraine, both the 10am as well as the 6pm Masses will celebrate the Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord tomorrow, 2th March.

We shall together recite the attached Act of Consecration Prayer at the end of both Masses.

For those who will not be at these Masses kindly say the Prayer in your own homes with family or in whatever group you interact with for prayer this Saturday.

And let us not forget, in these days, battered Ukraine, which is suffering so much.

Fr Naz
