Join Catholics around the world in the Missionary Rosary this Saturday, 17 October. 🙏

As we mark 100 years of World Mission Sunday, the universal Church is invited to pray together on the eve, led by Cardinal Luis Antonio G. Tagle, Pro-Prefect of the Dicastery for Evangelisation, and broadcast live from Rome. This centenary year, Pope Leo XIV’s theme is “One in Christ, United in Mission”.

⏰Broadcast times:
NSW, VIC, ACT and TAS: midnight
QLD: 11:00 pm
SA: 11:30 pm
NT: 10:30 pm
WA: 9:00 pm

The broadcast is late at night for many Australians, but it’s a meaningful way to unite in prayer with the whole Church. Find the latest livestream details at cm.org.au/rosary.

We were able to spend some time with other Parish staff from the Diocese this week, at the Sandhurst Parish Administration Conference. It was so good to share experiences and knowledge with other like minded people. Can't wait til next year!

Congratulations to Robyn, Megan and Sally from Kennington Parish who took home the 'People's Choice' Award for their table centrepiece with their vivid floral interpretation of ways "The Harvest is Abundant" in their parish.

They're pictured with their centrepiece - it looks like it could be the prize, doesn't it?

Humans have been seeking and searching since the time of Jesus. Our mission hasn't changed, but the world in which we live out that mission has. We can't keep on as 'business as usual' but must find new ways to reach out to the seekers and searchers.
