St Anthony of Padua
Patron
We reverence all the people of the Parish who have gone before us;
those who have lived in the spirit of St Anthony and have passed on this
way of life to us. May the Lord give us the grace to be signs of his
presence in the world, especially for the poor and struggling people
of our area.
International Food Luncheon
Everyone is invited to come along and join in this
special Parish celebration
after the 10.00am Mass today.
St. Vincent de Paul Society
The annual St. Vincent de Paul winter appeal is
set down for the weekend of 20th and 21st
June—NEXT WEEKEND.
Last week we noted that there has been an increase of 24%
in assistance requested of the society in the last 2 years.
This is backed up by the fact that in spite of overall
economic growth in Australia over the past 20 years more
people are now living in poverty than ever before. This
includes more than 600,000 children and with single parent
families most at risk. These facts are reflected strongly in
the Marsfield/Macquarie Park area which the St. Anthony’s
conference covers.
Your support of our appeal would be appreciated.
