Happy Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul - Apostles of Rome. We also remember our Founder, St Philip Neri known as the “Third of Apostle of Rome”.

Many thanks to those who joined the flower arrangers workshop led by Fr Francisco. You can see the results of their work, beautifying our Church!

This morning, our new flower arrangers enjoyed a floristry masterclass led by Fr Francisco.

The team arranged beautiful flowers with a Vatican colour theme, ready for the transferred Solemnity of Saints Peter and Paul.

Photos of the finished vases to follow.

Today is the awesome feastday of the Most Holy Trinity, when we praise, thank and adore the one true God in the Mystery of His Godhead, a Trinity of persons: the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. He is our Creator; He is our Redeemer; He is our Sanctifier, because He is love; He is mercy; He is relationship. And all that He has created, visible and invisible, is stamped with His Trinitarian image. The whole universe, from the macro- to the micro-, from distant galaxies down to the tiniest atom, is marked by relationship and interdependence. So too, you and me. We are made in the image of the Trinity. Like God, we are made for love. Love alone makes us happy; we live to love, and love to be loved.

Bishop Philip has issued a Pastoral Letter today to encourage you in the first of our Six Holy Habits: Prayer; encouraging you to spend five minutes or more each day in prayer.

Tonight we have Latin Mass at 6pm (1st Friday of every month) followed by stations of the Cross after Mass at 6:45pm (stations throughout Lent normally 11:30am and 6pm).

February 27: "We can never arrive at the contemplative life, if we do not first exercise ourselves laboriously in the active life."

February 26: "The true preparation for prayer consists in the exercise of mortification; for he who wishes to give himself up to prayer without mortification, is like a bird wishing to fly before it is fledged."

February 25: "A most excellent means of learning how to pray, is to acknowledge ourselves unworthy of such a benefit, and to put ourselves entirely into the hands of the Lord."
