The name Mary of Magdala is mentioned in the four canonical Gospels as a woman who originates
from the fishing town of Magdala. She travelled with Jesus as one of his disciples, famously known as
one of the women that Jesus healed from evil spirits and out of her seven demons were driven out.

The St Mary Magdalene Guild will be visiting Tshwane Haven,
a home that cares for babies and toddlers with medical needs, on 18 July 2026. We invite all parishioners to join us in sharing Christ’s love by donating baby essentials, toiletries, clothing, blankets, food items, toys,
and monetary contributions. Your generosity will help bring comfort, care, and hope to vulnerable children and their caregivers. “Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” (Matthew 25:40) Donations can be handed to any St Mary Magdalene Guild member before the outreach date.
For enquiries, please get in touch with Reneilwe Motlhope – 069 539 1414 or Reabetswe Botshe – 076 782 8881.
Together, let us be the hands and feet of Christ in service to others.

THE GREAT OUTDOORS

Since its introduction to the Diocese of Pretoria in 2013, St. Mary Magdalene has been active in other Dioceses. In the Cathedral, the guild got its attraction from St Francis of Assisi in Mamelodi, where their members we already robed under the leadership of Revd Bam. About 14 ladies approached the then Dean Allan to introduce this guild in the Cathedral. He gave approval and St Mary Magdalene was launched. In 2016, the first 14 members of St Mary Magdalene – Cathedral were robed under the leadership of the late Dean Mashishi.

Our Guild's Prayer
Merciful Lord, Your Son restored Mary Magdalene to health of body and mind, and made her the first witness to see Jesus Christ our Lord, risen from the dead; and told the Good News to His Disciples.
Renew our hearts too, so that we bring your Good News, that saves and heals, to others; reclaim our lives and bless them to the effect that we bear fruits just as new wine at the wedding in Cana, to the end that through us, your Holy name may be praised and glorified through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen
God of Grace and Glory, your Son sent Mary Magdalene as the witness to His resurrection: give us the same courage and love that we may boldly proclaim His risen life; who with you and the Holy Spirit is alive and reigns, one God, now and forever. Amen
