Social Action and Justice
Last Friday we held our Silly Sock Day to raise money for Catholic Mission. Thank you to those people who donated a gold coin. If it slipped your mind last week, all are invited to wear silly socks again this coming Friday for a gold coin donation.

Pope’s Prayer for November Jesus Christ, Good Shepherd. When Peter was a prisoner, the Church prayed incessantly for him. They were aware that their prayers sustained him. We ask you today to pray for the Pope, to pray for what he carries in his heart, and to pray for what worries him. Increase in us our love for the Church and the acceptance of the discernment of the Bishop of Rome who presides over the communion of all the churches. From his universal gaze, he helps us to recognize the action of the Holy Spirit. Amen. |

Recently we have had some of our older children seeking to be Baptised. A big congratulations and official welcome to Ryan M, Zach B, Aidan and Florence J on their Baptism and formal initiation into the Catholic Church. May they receive God’s grace and may the Holy Spirit dwell in them.
