AN INVITATION TO BUILDING A BETTER MARRIAGE - Dear husband and wife! An online ‘Building a Better Marriage’ opportunity is being held on JULY 10th 2021 running from 9am -1pm. The course offered means that you can attend the course from your own living room and there is no group sharing!
A recent Building a Better Marriage course received the following comments from married couples who logged on …
‘The topics were chosen well and we could really relate to them. The personal stories you shared were very insightful and helped us to reflect on our own relationships more deeply… It was relaxed and you put us at ease, being friendly and personable...’
‘We thoroughly enjoyed attending the course and have certainly been practicing a few of the things we learnt already. It puts a smile on our faces when we do because we know that we are certainly richer from participating in the course.’

WE FLY TO THY PROTECTION –
We fly to Thy protection, O Holy Mother of God. Do not despise our petitions in our necessities, but deliver us always from all dangers, O Glorious and Blessed Virgin.

Saint Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the
devil; May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; And do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host, by the power of
God, thrust into hell Satan and all evil spirits who wander through the world
for the ruin of souls. Amen.
