Come and experience the healing touch of Jesus! Fr. Hayden Williams, OFM Cap, will be preaching and leading prayers for healing, as well as celebrating Holy Mass and offering a time of Eucharistic Adoration.

Ordained a priest in 2005, Fr Hayden Williams OFM Cap is an itinerant preacher of the Gospel within the Order of Capuchin Friars Minor and forms part of the St Lawrence of Brindisi Fraternity at the hermitage of Le Celle in Cortona, Italy.  Le Celle were visited by St Francis of Assisi on 1211, 1215, and 1226.
