PPC Meeting is on Tuesday, 2nd April, 7.30pm at the Parish Centre. CWL Meeting is on Friday, 5th April, 10am at the Parish Centre Our Parish Thanksgiving Offertory What If Your Pay cheque Didn’t Come Regularly? Most of our parishioners are blessed with consistent and dependable pay cheques. Yet, have you ever thought about how you would manage your bills and schedule your payments if you were never sure how much money you were going to have in your bank account. This is a problem that our parish faces every month. While we are most grateful for any gift that any parishioner can give at any time, to help us maintain a more consistent cash flow, we have established an Automated Offertory Giving program. Those parishioners who are using the program tell us it is a great help to them, too. It allows them to clearly budget the amount that they want to give back to God and helps them feel assured that their parish is receiving their gift even when they are out-of-town, too busy to remember an envelope, or attending Mass at another parishContact the Parish Office and speak to Lenny or Anne at 8632 3977 as to how we can set up Automated Giving through regular Direct Debit to the Parish. It’s simple! It’s safe! You are in control! And it keeps God at the top of your giving list! PROJECT COMPASSION Michaela is a 21-year-old trainee at Purple House, a dialysis center in the Central Desert for people suffering from kidney disease.

As soon as they were able to enjoy the fruits of the Promised Land the manna ceased. Likewise, God’s blessings to us may change over the years but it is important to trust that God will always provide us with all that we need. Congratulations to Giovanna Turci on this amazing Milestone. May she be blessed with many more birthdays to come and a good health. Let’s keep Giovanna in our prayers. MEN ALIVE Update on the Men Alive breakfast meet, the Holy Spirit keeps heading us in the right direction, attendances have been steady between 15 to 20, the facilitators presentation of programs have displayed a range of diversity that has captured our imagination and kept the morning light and enjoyable, the range of ice breakers (fun themes) have produced many a belly laugh and those enthusiastic voices united in song seem to add a little extra when singing a hymn, the sharing of Christian fellowship and the mateship discussion flow freely during the morning. The Church community has Bible studies and prayer groups however this Men Alive breakfast meet is a Men’s ministry for like minded Christian men bonding together in friendship. It’s a great forum come along and enjoy the journey you may just have a good time and the breakfast is good as well. Need more information ring Les on 0419 844 018 The fourth Men Alive meet is on Saturday the 27 th April 2019 Please prayer for Donna Ferrer who will make her First Profession as a Good Samaritan Sister of the Order of St Benedict on Saturday 6 April, at St Scholastica’s Glebe.
