“Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will give you light.” — Ephesians 5:14

This year at St Patrick’s, we invite you to awaken: to join us in lifting our eyes to God, actively opening our hearts and hands to those in need, and preparing to meet the Lord who comes.

Two new saints, canonised this year, guide us on this journey

St Carlo Acutis, whose love for the Eucharist shows us how to awaken our hearts to Christ’s living presence, even amid the distractions of modern life.

St Pier Giorgio Frassati, who lived out his faith fully in the world: courageous, joyful, involved in positive social action and serving others.

Together they remind us that holiness is both active and contemplative — found in serving others and in creating space for God.

Make sure you follow us on socials - we’ll be posting inspiration for prayer and action inspired by these two saints, every Sunday of Advent.
