St John the Baptist - Sacred Fire
About
Each year St Francis Xavier Catholic Church in Hilbert host the sacred Fire on the eve of St John the Baptist to dispose of spiritual goods that are damaged, not unwanted, that need to be disposed of rather than thrown away. We build a fire, like centuries of Catholics before us, and spend time with our family and loved ones. Remember this great saint who courageously preached the coming of the Messiah, and ask him for his intercession.The Roman Ritual contains a priestly blessing for the vigil fire, and it is one of the oldest prayers contained in it. Enjoy!
This year, the parish will be hosting the City of Armadale community trailer with outdoor family games, BBQ and TV. The whole parish community is invited to attend. Hotdogs will be $2 and drinks $1. The event is FREE but please book tickets for hotdogs so we know approximate numbers to cater for.
