RE News
With Sharee Thomas
This weekend is the 14th Sunday in Ordinary Time and the day that the Australian Bishops and our National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Catholic Council have invited us to celebrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Sunday. Our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Catholics number over 130,000 and are growing strongly. Today we acknowledge that God has been walking with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, making His Presence known through a continuous living culture over many thousands of years. We pray in thanksgiving for these ancient peoples who have enriched and sustained our continent over all that time. We praise God for the people who nurtured the land here in our Parish that we call home.
RECONCILIATION
Congratulations to the following children in Year 3 and 4 who yesterday received the Sacrament of Reconciliation for the fist time. The ceremony was very different this year due to Covid-19 restrictions but was a wonderful experience for our children and their families who were able to attend.
