The Feast of St Michael - Saturday September 29^th

The Church frequently refers to the Angels in the Liturgy. The title Archangel describes Angels who are entrusted with very special messages or missions. The name Michael the Archangel – who is our patron, means the ‘one who is like God.’ Our Parish Church was dedicated to St Michael in 1877. In Christian tradition St Michael is invoked as the guardian of the Church, and patron and protector of the police. St Michael our patron, pray for us and protect us! 

Thank you to the 120+ parishioners who made the Parish Dinner on Wednesday so successful, and to our very inspirational Guest speaker -Paul Brodie, on St John’s students -  East Timor experience.

Social Justice Sunday – 30^th September - The Australian Catholic Bishops’ Social Justice Statement for 2018–19 is titled ‘A Place to Call Home: Making a home for everyone in our land’. The latest Census figures show that more than 116,000 Australians are homeless –, The Statement highlights the challenge of homelessness in Australia – a problem that continues to grow despite the great prosperity of our nation. We are reminded that safe and secure housing is a human right that must be afforded to all. It is the inherent dignity of each brother and sister in need of a place to call home that urges us on to confront the growing challenge of homelessness and housing insecurity in Australia.

People with Coeliac are advised there is a suitable Communion Host available for them in our churches. The host is placed in a pyx on the altar for consecration and is kept separate from regular hosts in the ciborium at the time of distribution. Fr Pat and Fr Duane have been consecrating these hosts for Coeliacs for the last few years. All you need to do is tell Father before Mass and he will see that your host is available for you to receive. If you would like more information, please contact Patricia Bourke 0433 509 636.
