Fri 31 July
The July meeting of Caritas will be held on Friday 31st of July as we will be taking part in the Mothers’ Union Wave of Prayer.
Venue: The Historic Church Time: 11am.
This activity organized by Mothers’ Union is a continual prayer session held throughout the world. The 31st is the date given for all the Mothers’ Union branches in the Southern region of the Melbourne diocese to join in prayer. The prayers are written by MU groups throughout the world and are poignant as they make us think about problems women in other parts of the world have to face.
After the service we will be gathering for lunch at the Manyung Gallery. Please let Lorraine Pigdon 97872503 know if you are staying for lunch.
