Hello Everyone

Last Sunday was the Feast of the Assumption of Mary, a time to think about Mary’s great faith and obedience.

Through her complete self-giving to God’s will and her intimate relationship with Jesus, she is gifted with the immediate consequences of his resurrection. Like Jesus, she moves through death, to life with God without bodily corruption.

In Mary we are given the promise of our own future and an opportunity to look to Mary for guidance and understanding especially in these times of uncertainty. 

Due to the continued lockdown in Melbourne there will be a further delay to our First Holy Communions and Confirmation ceremonies.

As soon as we know more, we will inform families of any changes that we receive from the Parish. We understand that this is a very uncertain time for families especially for those who have children waiting to make their First Communion or Confirmation.

We will endeavour to do our best to celebrate these Sacraments as soon as we are able to. 

Just a reminder that this Sunday 22nd August is National Day of Prayer - The Church Together.

It is an opportunity for people to come together and pray, you can find more information at: http://www.nationaldayofprayer.org.au/LordHaveMercy/     

Yours in Faith
