Description
“Were not our hearts burning within us while he spoke to us on the way and opened the scriptures to us?”
Holy Week is the holiest week of the year. It is the week we celebrate and remember that God became man, died and rose from the dead for us. There is no better time to go out as a missionary to share God's love with others!
This Holy Week 2023 we are united in the theme: "Fire Within". As Holy Week missionaries, we seek to accompany Jesus during this Holy Week, celebrating the deep mysteries. We feel moved to support our parishes and Churches, inviting others to celebrate that week with us. We go out to serve those in need in various ways, sharing God's love.
