Bishop Greg Bennet sends his greetings and the following invitation:
"I, along with the bishops of Australia, am united with the Holy Father as he leads the faithful around the world in this act of consecration and I invite all people in the Diocese of Sale to join us in praying for peace in Ukraine.
I will be offering Mass at St Mary’s Cathedral Sale on Friday 25th March, the Feast of the Annunciation, at 11am. At this Mass, during the Penitential Rite I will make the Act of Consecration which has been sent to all bishops from the Holy Father. I know we shall be united together in praying to the God who hears the cry of the poor.
May the intercession of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, Patroness of the Diocese of Sale intercede for the world to her Son, the Prince of Peace."
Bishop Greg Bennet
Bishop of Sale
