Today’s Saint

Many people in this area have ancestors from Lithuania. Today’s saint is the patron saint of Lithuania.

Born in 1458, St Casimir was of Lithuanian origin, the son of the King of Poland. He renounced the crown of Hungary at the urging of the Pope, and refused an arranged marriage designed to expand his realms. St Casimir was only 25 when he died, having overcome the seductions of power and luxury.

Good morning everyone, we are now in the second full week of Lent. I hope your Lenten practices are going well.

Mass on Teams

Fr Frank will celebrate Mass at 12:00 today. This will be streamed on the Taylor High Whole School Community.
