Heart Speaks to Heart - Week 4
March 16, 2026
A Six-Week Study Programme Led by Archbishop Mark
In January, Archbishop Mark shared a pastoral letter with our Archdiocese. Titled Heart Speaks to Heart – drawing on the motto of St John Henry Newman – it sets out a vision for our diocese to grow as a missionary and synodal Church, rooted in prayer and built on four pillars:
- Youth and Vocations
- Evangelising Zeal
- Formation in Faith
- Loving Service of Those in Need
Now, Archbishop Mark has taken that letter and broken it into six study pieces, to be explored over six weeks. Each piece includes the Archbishop’s own words alongside reflection questions designed to prompt honest, open conversation.

For the next two weeks, Fr Keith will be celebrating an extra Mass on Friday evenings . Confessions: 5:00pm – 5:20pm Stations of the Cross: 5:25pm Mass: 6:00pm All are warmly invited to come along and take part in these additional opportunities for prayer and reflection during the Lenten season.
Lenten Resource: We Dare to Ask This year’s Lenten resource invites parishioners to prepare for the renewal of their Baptismal promises at Easter. The program explores our mission to reflect Christ in our homes and communities, helping us to restore our covenant relationship with Jesus through his grace and mercy.
