By Holy Family Parish
During these unprecedented times, the Holy Family team is working to provide faith formation opportunities for the whole family. While not being able to go to Mass is certainly a source of sadness, there are still many ways to worship and grow closer to Christ. This article will outline the prayer, educational and social resources currently on offer through the Holy Family website.
Holy Family’s Liturgy of the Word -Each Sunday you can join in with Holy Family’s Liturgy of the Word and listen to the Mass readings, some beautiful music by Gen Bryant, and a reflection by Fr Pearce. You can find this here.
Sunday Activities for Children -Families that have children in primary school can take advantage of Holy Family’s ‘Sunday School’ page that can help children engage with the Gospel on Sunday. Each week we will feature a short video that helps simplify the Gospel reading, questions for family discussion, an activity, and some downloadable worksheets and colouring pages. You can find these here.
Morning Prayer (Lauds), Daily Rosary, and Divine Mercy Chaplet -Join Fr Pearce each day of the week to pray the Rosary and the Divine Mercy Chaplet live on YouTube. You can join in Morning Prayer (Lauds) at 7:30am, the Rosary at noon, and the Divine Mercy Chaplet at 3:00pm. You can find these here on YouTube.
Reading -Every week the team at Holy Family is producing articles on a wide range of topics ranging from prayer to parenting to cooking. You’re sure to find something that catches your interest. You can start reading here.
Formed –Holy Family has purchased a subscription to the Catholic website Formed (essentially a Catholic Netflix). Formed offers a huge range of Catholic material such as courses, movies, audiobooks, and children’s shows. There are great opportunities for your whole family to grow in faith so why not enjoy your free access? You can join Formed for free here.
Wednesday Morning Cuppa -If you’d like a chance to catch up with Fr Pearce and your fellow parishioners, join us on Wednesday morning for a Zoom chat from 10:30-11:00am. Find details on how to join us here.
Need Support? -If you find yourself in need of help with things like picking up groceries, if you need urgent supplies, if you’d like someone to pray with over the phone, or if you’d just like to have a chat with someone please let us know! You can call the parish office at 9807-9494 Monday-Sunday from 9:30am-12:30pm or you can register your interest here.
