Our Upcoming Events
Church is not just about Sunday, we have events all through the week:
-

Conversion of Saint Paul
Sunday 25 January | 10:30 AM
On Sunday 25 January, we celebrate the Feast of the Conversion of Saint Paul, formerly Saul of Tarsus, whose transformation is one of the most dramatic events in the early Church. Once a fierce persecutor of Christians, Paul became a leading advocate for Christianity, playing a pivotal role in establishing the Church in the Roman-dominated world. Moreover, his letters to the churches he founded have profoundly shaped Christian theology.
We invite you to join us at 10:30 AM for a Mass to commemorate Saint Paul and to reflect on his transformative encounter on the road to Damascus.
