PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE
The young homilist was on a roll.
“This parish has really got to get out and walk!”
Someone in the back yelled, “Let her walk!”
The homilist then said, “If this parish is going to really go, it’s got to get up and
run!”
The one in the back yelled with gusto, “Let her run!”
The preacher then said even louder, “If our parish is going to go, it’s got to really
fly!”
Again from the back, “Let her fly!”
He seized the moment: “If this parish is going to fly, it needs all of you to tithe!”
The voice in the back yelled, “Let her walk, let her walk.”
This coming Sunday’s Gospel (below) calls us to love,
share, feed, welcome and clothe one another. When we
do, we will discover that Jesus is truly present in all of
our brothers and sisters.
Let your love fly. - (Fr John Frauenfelder)
The Feast of Christ the King (This coming weekend)
Jesus said to his disciples:
"When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit
upon his glorious throne, and all the nations will be assembled before him. And he
will separate them one from another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the
goats. He will place the sheep on his right and the goats on his left. Then the king
will say to those on his right, 'Come, you who are blessed by my Father. Inherit the
kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and
you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, a stranger and you welcomed me, naked and you clothed me, ill and you cared for me, in prison and you
visited me.’
Then the righteous will answer him and say, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry
and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? When did we see you a stranger and
welcome you, or naked and clothe you? When did we see you ill or in prison, and

visit you?’ And the king will say to them in reply, 'Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of
the least brothers of mine, you did for me.’ Then he will say to those on his left, 'Depart from me,
you accursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you
gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink, a stranger and you gave me no welcome,
naked and you gave me no clothing, ill and in prison, and you did not care for me.’ Then they will
answer and say, 'Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or ill or in prison, and not minister to your needs?’ He will answer them, 'Amen, I say to you, what you did not do
for one of these least ones, you did not do for me.’ And these will go off to eternal punishment, but
the righteous to eternal life."
Following on from above: A wonderful opportunity to tithe (contribute)!
If there are any parents/grandparents keen to assist at the Hornsby Ku-ring-gai
Women’s Shelter with the final setup of the vegetable gardens, I encourage you
to please contact me at school. It will be particularly good if you have some
knowledge of planting etc and a keenness to share a few tips with the ladies at
the shelter.
A special invitation for “after the Holy Name Christmas Eve Mass”:
Turdi Sommers (mother of Riley Knight Y5) has recognised that some
Prouille families might be feeling ‘disconnected’ from family by distance
at Christmas time. If you feel this way, you might like to get along to the
‘get-together’ that Trudi is kindly hosting after the Holy Name Christmas Eve Mass.

FOOTBALL NEWS
My Dear Prouillers
I would like to highlight the success of our Prouille FC players (current and ex-players) at the recent Northern Tigers representative trails, in particular:•
•
•
Reef Farias – selected for the Northern Tigers U9 2015 SAP squad;
Luca Sella – selected for the 2015 Northern Tigers U12 representative squad;
Daniel Brading – selected for the 2015 Northern Tigers U12 representative squad;
In addition to the above there was good representation by Prouille FC players at the trials and highlights the
fact that we (as a relatively small club) are moving in the right direction, so credit to the committee and the
head coach.
For Season 2015 a quick heads-up that the Coaching Sub-committee are developing a new accelerated skills
development program in conjunction with the Northern Tigers coaching staff - watch this space.
Speaking of Season 2015, I am very happy to announce our new shorts sponsor - Greg and Bec Luka at 'That
Barber Shop in Wahroonga' - complementing our existing wonderful sponsors The Alto Group and Northpoint Motor Body Repairs. It is great to have another local business on board, and it is very important to have
great hair on game day - so please join me in welcoming the team at 'That Barber Shop in Wahroonga'
to the Prouille FC family.
