Our Resources for the Jubilee Year of Mercy
Our second resource book for the year gives details of up-coming events as well as an explanation of our Lenten initiative “Lay Down your burdens…on the Mountain of God’s Mercy”, a Parish Lenten Celebration of the Sacrament of Reconciliation and a copy of the ‘Prayers for a pilgrim journey’.

The app includes daily reflections on mercy, everyday Scripture reflections, Pope Francis’ tweets, the Divine Mercy Chaplet and Novena, and lots more.

As the Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy began throughout the world, pilgrims to Vatican City were treated to a wonderful light show. The show included stunning photographs projected onto the façade and cupola of Saint Peter’s, taken from a repertoire of some of the world’s great photographers. The images were inspired by the themes of Mercy, of humanity, of the natural world, and of climate changes.
