WEEKLY #2


Dear friends,

I hope you're all doing well and not struggling too much with the ongoing social restrictions. If you haven't already, why not sign up for one of our young adults groups as a way to feed your faith and meet and interact with some other Tasmanian Catholics? More information on that is just below. 

We also have some free online study courses available as well as information on a huge online Pilgrimage event starting this Sunday and leading up to Pentecost. 

Feel free to contact me any time via email or for a chat.

Take care and God bless,

Tomasz
