Prayer to Our Lady of Lourdes
Pope Francis’ Prayer to Mary during the coronavirus pandemic
Welcome to OLOL Catholic Church Seven Hills website. We thank you for the fellowship we share in this church, for all it offers, all it means and all the ways it enriches our lives and enlarges our experience. We thank you for the unity we have discovered in Christ, and the love that binds us together. We thank you for the experiences we have shared over the years and the bond they have created between us. We thank you for the care we have been able to show and the care we have in turn received. We thank you for the opportunities we have had to discuss our faith and the way our understanding of you has grown as a result. We thank you for the way we can talk together openly and honestly and know that our friendship will not only continue but flourish. Loving God, We do not claim to be a perfect family, for we are all too conscious of our weaknesses as individuals and as a family. We praise you that you have called us here as one people, in fellowship with you and one another. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

Dear Parents,
It is with regret that I need to inform you that the Confirmation meetings will need to be postponed this year. This is in line with the Government and Diocesan Restrictions. We hope to hold these processes later this year and I will write again with a new timetable when more information becomes available.
Stay safe and God bless you,
