This week...

Fourth Sunday of Lent - Year C - "Taste and see the goodness of the Lord."

Project Compassion: The Chilean Earthquake: Rather than have a separate appeal for Chile at this time, we encourage parishioners to generously support Project Compassion, keeping the plight of the Chilean people in mind.  At least 2 million people have been affected and 1.5 million homes have been destroyed.  Eight out of 27 dioceses were affeected by the quake. The national office of Caritas Chile was partly damaged but remains operational.  'The Caritas response from around the world has been quick and effective.  It has not just been material aid, but counselling and comfort to survivors that has made a real difference.  It has given the people hope,' said Lorenzo Figueroa Leon, Secretary General of National Caritas Chile.

Bishop's Lenten Pastoral Letter. The Bishop's letter is available to view via the diocesan website. You can also watch and listen to it.  www.dow.org.au/bishop/our-journey-of-love. 

Feastdays:     Wednesday  March 17 is the feast of St Patrick.        Friday 19 March is the feast of St Joseph.

Come & See Spirituality Group will not meet during March due to participation in the Lenten Program.  Our next gathering will be Wed 21 April.

A reminder for Lenten Group leaders that for the CD tracks do not follow the track number in the Lenten Program books - they are for the 'Gospel of Love' CD, not the Lent CD that you have. For week 3, use Track 3, etc. 

We prayerfully remember Peter McRae (Kangaroo Valley) and Ruth Collins (Taree / formerly Old Erowal Bay)  who died during the week; also Veronika Merkys and Phyllis Lake (UK)  whose anniversaries occur. May they rest in eternal peace.
