Meet the Little Friars and Little Nuns of Jesus and Mary
They’ll catch your eye and their message might capture your heart.
The Little Friars and Little Nuns of Jesus and Mary are coming to the Diocese of Maitland-Newcastle for a ten-day mission of faith, prayer and renewal.
Known for their distinctive habits, joyful spirit and dedicated commitment to Christ, their lives are centred on prayer, community, service and helping others discover the joy of faith.
Their witness is both refreshing and challenging, raising important questions about purpose, happiness and what truly matters.
Come for one event or many. Bring your questions and an open heart. You never know where God might lead.
All are welcome to encounter the Little Friars and Little Nuns.
