FROM THE PARISH PRIEST - Fr Tony Maher omi
Jesus today expresses a truth which we all recognise, at least upon reflection. After
seed is planted in the ground, it develops into a full grown crop. With only some
water, warm sunshine, and a little patience the marvellous growth takes place.
How that can happen we do not know.
A mystery should not, however, put us off. A mystery is not a truth about which we
can know nothing. A mystery is not a truth about which we can know nothing. A
mystery is a truth about which we cannot know everything. Something we can
know about the mystery which is the Church is that the Holy Spirit is at work.
Vegetable life needs light and water to grow. The Church needs the Holy Spirit. After the day of Pentecost when the Holy Spirit was sent upon the Church, it began to
grow and to spread as it does to this day.

Message from the Ursuline Sisters
This week has been one of much joy and celebration for all of us Ursuline Sisters as
we rejoiced with our very own Sr Cecilia on being awarded the Medal of the Order of
Australia—for service to the Catholic Church in Australia and to the Community of
Fremantle.
No Religious seeks public recognition nor applause for what they seek to do in the
name of God for the common good of the Church and Society, however, it is heartwarming and encouraging when it does happen. We are grateful for the honour
and congratulate Sr Cecilia for the strength of her testimony to us all.
Together with and on behalf of Sr Cecilia, we are so grateful for all the material and
spiritual support we have received in particular from this parish community, without whose friendship it would not have been possible to be true missionaries of His
heart to humanity.
Fr Frank Santucci OMI
Fr Frank is an Oblate of Mary Immaculate currently working from the Oblate General House in Rome. Originally he is from South Africa. He is an expert in Oblate
Spirituality and the life of our Founder St Eugene De Mazenod.
On Sunday 26th July, Fr Frank will lead us in our 11am Mass at the Basilica and in the afternoon at 3pm in the Parish Centre will give a talk on St
Eugene, and Oblate Spirituality, this will be followed by afternoon tea. All
parishioners and friends are welcome to attend to hear this acclaimed speaker.
Please register with the Parish Office on 9335 2268, Mon to Fri 9am to 3pm.

Catholic Missions Appeal 20/21 June
The work of our missionaries throughout the world is like the
mustard seed. Work that starts off small and unnoticeable,
“… yet once it is sown it grows into the biggest shrub of
them all…” Catholic Mission is the official universal overseas mission aid agency of our Holy Father. Your support for Catholic Mission appeal next week-end will sustain and strengthen the work of our missionaries in
sowing this seed of God’s Love as they reach out to the most vulnerable in their
care amidst unimaginable poverty and persecution.

the community that
worships here. Inspire us
to work together to
spread your love.
Strengthen our faith

for the needs of our wider
community and make
ourselves holy.
We ask you this through
Christ our Lord. AMEN
