Resources for prayer and attending Mass at home
With the current COVID-19 outbreak, and even though public Mass has resumed to an extent, we will not be meeting at Our Lady & St Michael’s for our monthly meetings.
However, we can still pray for vocations at home and have our regular monthly meetings online to pray together and learn about vocations.
In the meantime, some useful resources for praying at home:

2020 Serra International Convention – New Orleans
Our Convention of 2020 will take place in New Orleans, June 25th -27th. Planning is well underway by the New Orleans Serrans in a city famous for its jazz festivals, noted French Quarter and Bourbon Street. You can sit in Jackson Square in the shadow of the 18th century St Louis Cathedral where artists paint portraits or simply absorb the serenity of this Majestic Cathedral. Again a programme of renowned speakers promises another great convention.
