This ministry began during the pandemic as a way for parishioners to share their faith with one another and the wider community.
Each reflector is assigned one day each month (different every month) to read the Mass readings and prayers and reflect on a phrase or word or the entire reading. With a few exceptions, they are not theologians but ordinary parishioners sharing their faith-filled thoughts.
Anyone is welcome to subscribe to receive the reflections via Flocknote, by email or by text. You can subscribe below. Reflections are also shared on the parish Facebook page. -
