Social Action and Justice
Thank you to those who have sent in donations for the St Vincent de Paul 2022 Christmas Appeal. This Friday we will bring all your wonderful donations together to create Christmas Hampers for those in need in our community. We will also have our giving tree for families to take a gift tag to buy and wrap a gift for a person in our community. There are still a large number of tags still waiting to be attached to the gift. The giving tree will be up until the last day of Term 4 so you still have time.
Prayer and Worship
Pope Francis entrusts his Worldwide Prayer Network each month with prayer intentions that express his great concern for humanity and for the mission of the Church. His monthly prayer intention is a worldwide call to transform our prayer into specific actions; it is a compass for a mission of compassion for the world.
December Prayer Intention - For volunteer not-for-profit organisations
We pray that volunteer non-profit organizations committed to human development find people dedicated to the common good and ceaselessly seek out new paths to international cooperation.
Holy Spirit,
who propels the construction of the Kingdom,
animating hearts and strengthening wills,
we give you thanks for those who give themselves
to the most fragile,
faithfully and freely,
as a living proclamation of the tenderness of Jesus Christ.
Send your inspiration and joy to more people
who wish to donate their time and their lives with love
for brothers and sisters in need,
refugees, the sick, the elderly, and children.
May there be an increase in people,
who wish to become closer to their fellow man.
Amen.
Celebrating Liturgy
We are so happy to be able to hold our Advent prayer celebrations with students together in the hall. These prayer celebrations are a vital part of our St Joseph’s tradition. Parents of classes leading the prayer celebration are warmly invited to attend these prayer celebrations.
Evangelisation and Faith Formation
Faith Formation
St Joseph’s Parish has begun its annual Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA) journey this October.
If you are curious about God or the Catholic Church, were baptised as a child but did not receive Eucharist or Confirmation, visit the parish one Sunday and speak to Fr Paul.
If you have questions about the RCIA process, please email Father Paul at Paul_Nulley@hotmail.com
