The Sign of the Cross:


As Catholics we make this prayer many times during our lives, but do we ever STOP and think about what it means?

It is a Trinitarian prayer and came from around the time of Jesus and his apostles. It was used to show that when people were baptised, 'in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit', they became part of God's family.
​

Today we use it to help remind us that we too are part of God's family and that every day we are invited to live our lives following Christ's example.
