The emails have been written in a compelling way that the email addresses of the senders were not visually verified and responses were sent. Perhaps this is a reminder that when someone you know asks you to email them back and sounding desperate to perhaps check the sender’s email address. The scammers have become more intelligent in acquiring the tone of how we write as clergy. ONLINE GIVING Our parish relies on our regular offertory giving for maintenance and growth.

Which values, attitudes and behaviours will we want to hold on to going forward? Which may be in need of remedy or renewal? Through a process of reflection and discernment, the bishops are using this time as an opportunity to inspire and lead a renewal of Christian life in the Church that will impact society in positive ways. WEEK 1: Inherent Dignity of Every Human Life The situation of this pandemic invites us all to re-discover the inherent dignity of every human life and to re- awaken a sense of gratitude, affection and responsibility towards all people, particularly the most vulnerable in our society.
