Come and See Diocesan Renewal Process

My dear children, We are at the beginning of our fifth year of Come and See. The theme for the year is: ‘Go Make Disciples’. Everyone who knows Jesus has the job of letting others know about Him through their words and actions. When people hear, they may decide to become a disciple of Jesus. Let’s help them respond to His call. Affectionately yours, Bishop Arthur. From Bishop Arthur

Go Make Disciples St Therese is the Patroness of the Missions. She couldn’t travel to other countries, but she could pray. Let’s follow her example…

Let us pray … God our Heavenly Father, You have shown us how much you love us because you have sent your Son Jesus. Help me to be open to the Holy Spirit, so that I can know Jesus better. Please bless everyone in our diocese, as we accept the invitation to “Come and See” Jesus. We ask this through Jesus your Son. Amen.
