FROM THE PARISH PRIEST - Fr Tony Maher omi
After Jesus declared: “I am the vine, you
are the branches,” he applied the image of
life: “Just as a branch cannot bear fruit on
its own unless it remains on the vine, so
neither can you unless you remain in me.
Without me you can do nothing.”

Holy Souls in Purgatory
Every Sunday we come to Mass to intensify
your union with Christ, We pray for God’s
mercy and ask that our sins be forgiven.
We undergo a kind of pruning process. Then we partake of the body
and the blood of the Lord, the nourishment which is necessary to keep
vibrant and growing with us the life which comes from Christ, the Vine.

Maria Cinalli (dec’d)
Christ extends himself in space and time through the members of his
Church as a vine reaches outward by means of its branches. The purpose of the vine is to produce fruit, but grapes come forth from the vine
through its branches. What is the fruit which Jesus wishes to produce
through us?

Nepal Earthquake Appeal
Our prayers and thoughts are with the communities
in Nepal, and neighbouring countries, devastated by
a 7.9 magnitude earthquake on 25 April 2015. Caritas Australia staff are currently on the ground working with local partners to respond to immediate needs. We urgently need your help to provide food, shelter and clean water and to support the long-term recovery. Donate today www.caritas.org.au/nepalearthquake. Appeal envelopes available in the side foyers of the Church and a leaving collection will also be taken up this weekend after all Masses.
The Planned Giving Program
The planned giving program is an important part of the Parish as it allows us to maintain all aspects of the Basilica, Presbytery and Parish
Administration Centre. In order to keep the Parish viable we must
maintain a target of 95% and above each week. This week’s giving was
55% of the target.

Prayer for Nepal
Loving God, we pray for all those affected
by the earthquake in Nepal as we offer
the words of the psalmist, “Be strong
and take heart, all who hope in the Lord”
May those who are paralysed by fear......
Be strong and take heart
May those who have lost or are still
searching for loved ones.......
Be strong and take heart
May those rescue workers who provide
relief and recovery.......
Right to Life Annual Raffle
Tickets available before and after all Mass this weekend. Please be supportive of this event.
May those who are moved with compassion to help.....
The Record
Copies of the eRecord are available in the side foyers. Panorama,
what’s happening around the Archdiocese, will be posted on the noticeboards in the Church when available.
Be strong and take heart
God, whose love knows no bounds, fill
all those who suffer with your comfort
and peace.
Be strong and take heart
We ask this through Christ, our Lord.
Amen
