No such word as ‘Can’t’… St Denis Parish Jessica Cox, 25, a girl born without arms, stands inside an aircraft. The girl from Tucson, Arizona got the Sport Pilot certificate lately and became the first pilot licensed to fly using only her feet. Jessica Cox of Tucson was born without arms, but that has only stopped her from doing one thing: using the word "can't." Her latest flight into the seemingly impossible is becoming the first pilot licensed to fly using only her feet. With one foot manning the controls and the other delicately guiding the steering column, Cox, 25, soared to achieve a Sport Pilot certificate. Her certificate qualifies her to fly a light-sport aircraft to altitudes of 10,000 feet. 11 - 12 October 2014 Parish Priest Fr Peter Porteous Under the pastoral care of the Friar Servants of Mary OSM Micah 6.8 Hear then, what your God asks of you: To Act Justly, To Love Tenderly and to walk Humbly with Your God 28th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year A Parish Office 60 Osborne St, Joondanna, W.A. 6060 Tel: 9242 2812 Fax: 9242 2010 Web Site: Email: [email protected] www.stdenis.com.au Bulletin notices must be received by 9am Thursday and emailed to [email protected] Weekend Mass Times Week Day Mass Times Saturday: Vigil Mass 6:30 pm Mon: No service Sunday: Mass 7:30 am Tue - Fri: Mass 8:00 am * 9:00 am Sat: Mass 8:30 am 6:00 pm * Public Holidays 8:30 am Other Services Benediction and Holy Hour: Friday 8:30 am Rosary: Daily before each weekday mass.

Readings for Next Week (29th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year A): 1st: ISAIAH 45:1. 4-6 2nd: 1 THESSALONIANS 1:1-5 Gospel: MATTHEW 22:15-21 Joke of the Week A child was mis-behaving in church. Her father picked her up to take her outside. As they headed for the doorm the little girl called out to the congregation, “Pray for me!” We pray for leaders of our communities that they be good stewards of the environment entrusted to them. That in keeping their natural resources healthy they will be able to pass along good livelihoods to future generations. We pray for a greater respect for the traditions and teachings that the apostles have given to us through the ages, that we seek to gain deeper and greater understanding of this wisdom and to be bold in its proclamation. We pray for an increased awareness that Jesus’ invitation is to everyone, not just those gathered here. Help us to rise above the temptation to keep Him to ourselves. B. J.
