Examinations – We are thinking of our examination students these days. The state exams began last Wednesday. It’s a huge moment for our young people and we pray that they will give of their very best these days. In life, examinations are not everything and we pray that our young people will find happiness and satisfaction in whatever road they travel. We think of their parents and grandparents who support them and pray for them along with everyone in our faith community. We dedicate them to the inspiration of St. Carlo Acutis. – Fr. Michael
