We thanked God for the dedicated service of Father Chris as a faithful servant who served the Guild as Chaplain for 10 years. Parishes affiliated to the GSS partook in this Celebratory Mass and made banners highlighting the importance of what is happening in our society at large particularly speaking out against crime affecting our children. A memorable moment as we joined our Diocese to adding our voice in saying “Hands off our kids”. The creativity indeed speaks volumes as we paraded from the hall into the Church of St Mark’s Athlone, saying enough is enough “HANDS OFF OUR KIDS”.

Pilgrimage to Israel 67 Minutes for Mandela

The 18th July is Nelson Mandela’s birthday and it has become a day when we take 67 minutes to do something for others.

This year the young people of Holy Spirit Heidveld did something to help ‘heal the world’. They spent their morning creating a beautiful vegetable and in- digenous garden at their church. They also cleaned up rubbish around the church. Each organisation – Sunday School, Alar Servers and the youth will be caring for the garden.

The idea of Mandela Day was inspired by Nelson Mandela at his 90th birthday celebrations in Lon- don’s Hyde Park in 2008 when he said: “It is time for new hands to lift the burdens. It is in your hands now.”

It is based on the idea that each person has the A group of parishioners from St Cypri- Reflections from the pilgrims: “Awesome power to change the world and celebrate the 67 an’s Retreat together with pilgrims from experience.
