Welcome. I invite you to complete a short, anonymous questionnaire about our Holy Habits and the diocesan plan. By sharing your experience you will be actively contributing to the growth and development of the Diocese and helping me discern how the Lord is at work. It will only take a few minutes. Thank you in advance. We hope to repeat the survey in three years time to view the journey made. Please scan the QR code or visit https://eu.surveymonkey.com/r/QTBWYRP .

The call to forgive. (Matt 18: 21-35) How can I love my spouse and bring life? We are called to set aside resentment and listen with understanding. In today’s Gospel, the servant who is forgiven refuses to forgive another. God forgives us everything, but are we willing to let go of the hurts caused by our spouse?
