MIGRANTS AND REFUGEES SUNDAY 25 AUGUST - DRESS IN TRADITIONAL ATTIRE It would be great, to mark this Sunday, if our community members choose to come to church wearing a traditional attire of their native country. We would visually discover how varied and rich our community is - as most of us have been migrants at some point. ABOUT TAKING KIDS TO MASS I found a very interesting story on an Australian Catholic website (cathfamily.org). It is on the table at the back of the church. I would be grateful if you had a read - not just the parents of young children, all of us. I would like everyone to be aware that children are welcome, even as they gradually learn to relate to our prayer. The fact that children were chastised was often the start of their aversion towards coming to church, and one of the possible root causes for which present adults are not in church, even when their parents are faithfully present. PLENARY COUNCIL - REPORT OF THE LISTENING AND DIALOGUE PHASE Experts have completed compiling the report of all the submissions made to the Plenary Council over the first phase.
The report will guide the present and following phases, and can be read or downloaded at http://plenarycouncil.catholic.org.au/resources/reports/ Soon we will be involved in a new wave of opportunities for this phase, "Listening and Discernment". Events will be announced soon. |
