For Children with incurable diseases:
Let us pray that children suffering from incurable diseases and their families receive the necessary medical care and support, never losing strength and hope. |
Febrary: The Passion
The month of February is traditionally dedicated to the Passion of Our Lord in anticipation of the liturgical season of Lent. In this month, we begin to meditate on the mystery of Jesus' sufferings which culminated in his death on the Cross for the redemption of mankind. We revere Christ’s Passion because it is through his suffering that we are redeemed, by his blood that he has washed us from our sins. Common forms of meditation on Jesus' Passion include prayer before the crucifix, Stations of the Cross, and the rosary with meditations on the Sorrowful mysteries. Saints who had a special devotion to Christ's passion include our patron, St. Francis of Assisi, who was the first known saint to receive the stigmata.

24hr Live-stream
Here at St. Mary of the Angels we have a live-stream camera which gives a 'virtual access' to the church 24hrs a day. As well as providing a facility that enables the sick, the housebound, and those who have moved away from the parish the ability to join us for our regular services, it also offers an opportunity for all, at any time, to enter through the doors of the church to pray before the Lord. Live-streaming of the Mass, and any other service, cannot and must not be thought of as 'equal' to being physically present in the church, however, for those who cannot attend it enables them to feel part of the parish community. Below you can access to the live-stream by clicking the play symbol, and in the bottom right corner of the picture there is the ability to expand the image to 'full-screen'.
