PROJECT COMPASSION 2015 “FOOD FOR LIFE”
FOURTH SUNDAY OF LENT
In Nepal, many farmers in rural communities struggle to grow enough food to feed their families. However, a highly successful fish
raising program has changed life for one Nepalese community.
Mother of three, Sarita, could barely grow enough food for her family on her tiny farm plot. In 2007, she joined a program, run by Caritas
Nepal, that gave a community group the training and support they needed to start a fish-raising business. Thanks to their hard work,
Sarita and the group now have a thriving enterprise and a life-long source of food and income.
Please donate to Project Compassion today and help people in isolated areas of Fiji gain the skills they need to grow food for
life.
LENT
The Blue Cloth on the Altar – is a reminder that
God’s desire for us is life, not condemnation,
salvation not destruction. Jesus came to reveal this
love of God to free people from fears and ignorance
and lead them to accept such unconditional love in
joy and thanksgiving.
ST BRENDAN'S FOOD PANTRY For many years St Brendan's has
distributed food parcels to the needy in the local area. There is currently a
critical shortage of non-perishable food that is needed. We are asking the
parishioners of Flemington and Kensington to assist with long-life milk, tea,
coffee, sugar, biscuits, pasta sauce, tuna, baked beans, spaghetti, etc.
Many thanks for your assistance.
COMMUNION SONGAMICI MIEI
'SNAPSHOT FROM HISTORY'
One popular fundraising activity in the 1920s was
the Queen's Carnival. Four girls from the parish
were nominated as 'queens' and they gathered
around them a group of attendants: princes,
princesses, maids of honor, flower girls and pages to
assist in raising money. There were queens of
charity; hope; patience; peace; sport; and the
Southern cross- to name a few.The queen who
raised the most funds was crowned "Queen of the
Carnival' in a large (fundraising) celebration at the
Kensington Town Hall, often presided over by the
Archbishop. One such event raised 2,800 pounds!!

Journey through Lent to Easter - Forty days of preparation until we share
in the great day of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Let us walk this path in
reflection.
Let our prayer be the chant of humble and grateful hearts
So often our prayer can be self-focused. Our minds concerned with our
own needs, calling upon God in supplication and request. Fine as this may
be, the prayers of praise and thanksgiving can connect us more
significantly with the glory of God and the reality of God’s love through the
community.
To actively involve ourselves in the preparation and celebration of Lent and
Easter, we enter into the prayerfulness of the season. The participation in
the liturgy and especially in the Holy Thursday celebrations of the institution
of the Eucharist at the Lord’s Supper, provide us with communal
opportunities to join with the people of God in the ‘feast of feasts’. We
gather to celebrate the Eucharist and remember what happened at this holy
meal. Through the sharing of bread and wine changed into the body and
blood of Jesus, we as a community of Christians experience the ultimate
sign of Christ‘s real presence in our midst.
The liturgies at this time have a depth of prayer and symbolism that
enables us to remember, be affected by and celebrate the great love of
God for us, It is a time when we can take the opportunity to remember and
celebrate. When the message of Jesus on the cross and the message of
the empty tomb make more sense in the light of the hope filled resurrection
of Jesus
