🕯️ Solemnity of All Saints

Today we celebrate all the saints in Heaven, including those known to God alone, whose lives remind us of our shared call to holiness.

We give thanks especially for the life and legacy of HCPT’s founder, Brother Michael Strode. His faith, compassion and vision continue to inspire our work with children and adults with disabilities and varying needs.

On this feast, we invite you to join us in praying for his canonisation, using the prayer shared here.

May his example encourage us to recognise the dignity of every person and put our faith into action through kindness, friendship and care.

All you holy men and women, pray for us. 🙏
