ICON OF MARY MOTHER OF PRIESTS
(MMP)
The icon was painted by Sr Christina Mary
OCD and is making a parish to parish visit
in the Archdiocese of Sydney. We are
asked to pray for good vocations in the
church, for good religious apostolic life,
for good Christian catholic marriages and for all our
young people– that they too be sustained in their faith
and callings in life.
We intend to have the Icon of MMP by Corpus Christi
Sunday and then move it onto family homes
after the Wednesday adorations 10 June 2015. The
Icon of MMP is accompanied by a booklet of prayers.
Please contact the parish office if you should want the
icon of MMP to come to your home for a visit and
family prayers.
Blessed congratulations to all our First Eucharist
Children. Thank you to our parents/guardians who have
journeyed with our children during this special time and

program. Blessed journeys everyone!

St. Vincent de Paul Society
The annual St. Vincent de Paul winter appeal is
set down for the weekend of the 20th and 21st
June.
There has been an increase of 24% in assistance requested
of the society over the past two winter periods and this
trend looks certain to continue this year.
The high cost of housing and rising energy bills are a major
concern for many families and this puts a further strain on
basic items such as food and clothing.
Your support of the appeal would be appreciated.
