During Lent, the Parish Lenten sessions focussed on the theme of the Jubilee Year - “We Dare to Hope”. For those who weren’t able to take part in these sessions, the ‘We Dare To Hope’ booklets, developed by the Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales and with a forward by Archbishop Mark, are available for all parishioners to take home and keep as a prayer and reflection aid. The booklet is on the theme of Christian Hope. The relationship between the virtue of hope, our lives and the source of all hope, Jesus, is explored. Wisdom from the saints is offered for the spiritual growth of readers. Quoting St. Claude de la Colombière the book reflects: “My God, I believe most firmly that You watch over all who hope in You, and that we can want for nothing when we rely upon You in all things”. The booklets are provided to the parish for free.
The Archdiocesan Catholic Charismatic Team invite all those who wish to join in prayer and praise in celebration of Pentecost to a Vigil Mass of Pentecost at St. Dyfrig’s Church, Treforest at 8pm next Saturday, June 7th .

You don't have to be a 'charismatic' to come but don't be surprised if others who do praise God spontaneously, even in tongues!, during the celebration.
