From The Archbishop’s Desk – 23rd June

The Month of June: Having come to the beginning of the second half of the year in this month, we need to evaluate how far we have fared in keeping the resolutions that we made at the beginning of the year. It is also important for us to examine how we have responded or not to the promptings of the Holy Spirit through the proper use of the gifts He has given us.

During this month, we shall celebrate such remarkable feasts as the Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity 16th June, Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ 23rd June, and the Solemnity of Ss. Peter & Paul 29th June. May we be built up in the practice of our faith as we celebrate these treasuries of faith.
