There are nomination forms on the back table of the Church to nominate Parishioners from both Our Lady of Lourdes and Our Lady of Fatima Parishes. Thank you for giving this important role in our Parish some serious thought. Children's Liturgy has been held at Our Lady of Lourdes for many years now during 9:15 am Mass. I am very grateful to the volunteers who give of their time to share the Scriptures with our primary school children. Next year I would like to begin Children's Liturgy also at the 10:30 am Mass. I am looking for volunteers to assist at both Masses. Sister Stella will provide training during January so we can begin children's liturgy at both Masses next February. Please contact Sister Stella at the Parish office if you can help. Please remember as we prepare for Christmas to “Keep Christ in Christmas”. There are Christmas cards with the Christ theme available in our piety stalls at the back of the Church. There are also some very simple nativity sets to remind us and visitors to our homes the real meaning of Christmas. As we prepare for the new Church refurbishment at Our Lady of Lourdes Church we need to demolish an old toilet block in the backyard of the Church and build a new storage shed. If you can help us to knock down the brick wall block, remove the cement slab and transport the rubbish, could you please contact Karrin in the Parish office. The Parishioners at Our Lady of Fatima will notice there is a new sign on the street front outside the Church. There has been a sign there for a long time advertising our Parish School but now the sign advertises both the school and the Church at Our Lady of Fatima. Have a good week everyone. Fr Dan. Next Sunday: 33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time: Proverbs 31:10-13,19-20,30-31; 1Thessalonians 5:1-6; Matthew 25:14-30 Reflections on the Readings for Dedication of the Lateran Basilica: Year A Introduction Today we are reminded how God is with us in sacred places, especially in the Temple, and how this presence is fully realised in Jesus and his community of the Church. First Reading: Ezekiel 47: 1-2, 8-9, 12 We hear a vision of the Temple in Jerusalem with its water as a source of life. Second Reading: 1 Corinthians 3:9-11, 16-17 The community of the Church is the Temple of God. Gospel: John 2:13-27 Jesus takes a stand about the real purpose of the Temple and, from this, speaks of the temple of his own body. St Thomas More Class of 1984 - 30 Year Reunion! Who? When? Where?
