Yesterday, Fr. Tim Shillcox, O.Praem shared two recipes for Lent.
Ask your child what they heard!
Tuna Bake and The Lord’s Prayer
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. Amen.
