Dear Parishioners,
Lebanon needs us, and the time to act is now.
Many families are struggling to meet even their most basic needs.

The Maronite Eparchy of Australia, New Zealand and Oceania, in collaboration with the Australian Lebanese Medical Association (ALMA), is filling containers with vital aid for families in Lebanon.
We are accepting brand new items only (NO CLOTHING), including food, medical supplies, hygiene, education and recreational essentials. Please refer to the flyer for the full list of items.

Every donation matters. Monetary donations are also welcome to help us purchase critical supplies.

All aid will be distributed in Lebanon by Caritas Lebanon, with shipment containers and transport generously donated by Maersk.

Please drop off all donations at our Parish Office (230 Normanby Ave Thornbury – ramp up to 2nd level car park, on the right hand side, on weekdays between 10am and 4pm, before 30 June 2026.

Let us stand with Lebanon in this time of need. Together, we can deliver hope.

Today is the Feast of the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

It honours the literal heart of Jesus as a symbol of His boundless, passionate love and mercy for humanity. It highlights the redemptive sacrifice of Christ and invites believers to return His love with trust, devotion, and reparation.

Prayer:
O most holy heart of Jesus, fountain of every blessing, I adore you, I love you, and with lively sorrow for my sins, I offer you this poor heart of mine. Make me humble, patient, pure and wholly obedient to your will. Amen.

There's a special Mass tonight at 6pm. Everyone is welcome.
