CHILDREN’S WORLD DAY OF PRAYER SERVICE
27TH FEBRUARY 2018 11:00am IN ST MARY’S CHURCH.
This is a worldwide movement of Christian women that began in the U.S. and Canada in the 19th century, and became worldwide in 1927. The continuing motto for this very special day is "Informed Prayer and Prayerful Action". It's time to begin your local planning, if you haven't already done so.
This day is no longer celebrated only by women; many men and children participate, too. Each year, on this day, Christians of many cultures, traditions, and races, in over 170 countries around the world unite in prayer. Of course, all people are always welcome and encouraged to participate.
Also on Tuesday the 27th February we have our Schools’ Commissioning Mass at 6.00pm in our church. Schools from Whakatane, Opotiki, Matata, Tauranga, Taupo, Tauranga, Mount Maunganui are invited to celebrate Mass with Bishop Steve. Other schools in the diocese have already had their Mass and they were all well attended. The Mass is specifically for blessing the staff, students and parents in all our schools. All our students are welcome but we will specifically invite our senior students. It is important that we attend this Mass with the Bishop. There is a light supper served following Mass. We hope you will join us for this.
