First Friday and Saturday of April 2026

3rd April 2026

The First Friday and Saturday in April, being the month of the Holy Eucharist, will be Friday 3 April and Saturday 4 April.

This year, as Good Friday and Holy Saturday fall on this two days, our Parish will not hold the usual First Friday and Saturday devotions.

On Friday we will have Stations of the Cross at 10am and the Celebration of the Lord's Passion at 3pm.

On Saturday we will celebrate the Easter Vigil at 7pm.

You may choose to offer up a private Rosary on each day in reparation for the offences committed against the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

Prayer in Honour of the Holy Eucharist

Sweetest Jesus, Body and Blood most Holy, be the delight and pleasure of my soul, my strength and salvation in all temptations, my joy and peace in every trial, my light and guide in every word and deed, and my final protection in death. Amen. 🙏💖💐

Prayer of Reparation for Offenses Made against the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary

O merciful Jesus, my King and my God, I worship You.

O Blessed Mother, Mary Immaculate, I cherish you.

For those who offer you insult, I offer you praise.

For those who offer you mocking, I offer you honour.

For those who offer you disbelief, I offer you trust.

For those who offer you hate, I offer you love.

For those who offer you cursing, I offer you blessing.

For those who offer you ridicule, I offer you loving gazes.

For those who offer you blasphemy, I offer you adoration.

For those who offer you rebellion, I offer you obedience.

For those who offer you indifference, I offer you devotion.

For those who offer you obstinate pride, I offer you a contrite heart.

For those who offer you scorn, I offer you fidelity.

Soften the hearts of those who offend you, that they may come to know you and love you as you deserve.

Make my heart more fervent so I may pray without ceasing for the conversion and salvation of souls. Amen. 🙏💐💖
