A community in Christ seeking and sharing transforming grace, reconciling love and compassionate hope
The sacraments are the place where Christ waits to encounter us. In the confessional he hears our confession, “I am a sinful man,” that he might touch our lips so that “your guilt is taken away, and your sins forgiven,” thereby being prepared to hear the words of Christ, “Do not be afraid, henceforth you will be catching men.”
Most of us are not great in the eyes of the world, yet God has called us in Christ into the world to bear witness to his voice. What is it that will enable us like the prophets, saints and martyrs to continue to proclaim and to live the life of faith despite the difficulties, trials and persecutions we might face?

What was true of these great foundations of the Church can be true for us too. God has prepared us to fulfil a mission for him, he wants us to carry his message out into the world in our own particular ways.

Jesus said to his disciples, “The Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.” ... And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. And divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit.
