CONDOLENCES to the families and friends of Elena Coppola who died recently. May perpetual light shine upon her and may she rest in peace.
URGENT!! The children’s home at Montebello, which is supported by the CWL, burnt down on Wednesday night. All the children are safe but they have lost everything else. If you can help in any way, especially with clothing and essentials, please contact Lorella Fernandes 083 799 4229. Thank you.
UNFORTUNATELY the churches remain in lockdown at present, but you will be notified as soon as possible once they have re-opened.
CATECHISM: Registration for catechism lessons, which will have to begin virtually, are now open. If your child attended lessons in this parish last year, you should receive an email in the next few days asking you to confirm the details on record. No further registration is necessary. However, new parishioners and Grade 1 parents will have to complete a registration form which is available on the parish website blessedsacrament.co.za. Please return these to oneillfam@polka.co.za. Thank you.
CONFIRMATION, LIFETEEN AND EDGE registration forms are also available on the parish website or contact Tess at the parish office Tuesday-Friday 8am to 12pm.
WHATSAPP OR TELEGRAM? Amid the mad scramble and confusion about whether to stay or to change, we are aware of the problem, especially for Growing Faith posts. Please be patient. We may have to set up an alternate group on Telegram but are not rushing into it. We will keep you informed via the daily posts.

CORONA VIRUS PRAYER.
Lord Jesus Christ, during your earthly ministry, at your command, the sick were made well. Come to our aid now in the midst of the global spread of the corona virus, that we may experience your healing love. Give leaders of nations and communities the foresight to act with charity and true concern for the well-being of the people they are meant to serve. Give them the wisdom to invest in long-term solutions that will help prepare for or prevent future outbreaks. Grant to all peoples the grace to respect the measures suggested that may curtail the spread of this virus. We ask this in your Holy name. Amen
