TRUST is the Lenten program parish groups are using to walk with Jesus to Easter.

Fr Sean Cullen wrote for this week’s reflection “ Perhaps, we secretly yearn to be like the younger bother– to be reckless and impulsive in a faraway place. Instead, we stay home and expect to be rewarded for it. The father has two problem sons whose issues were different. The sons are not to be dismissed as either good or bad. Simply, they were like us-sinners. The father loved both sons with all his heart, no matter what they did with their lives. Nothing they did could diminish his love for them.”

‘The St. Mary of the Angels’ Parish acknowledges the traditional owners of the lands we

worship upon today and pay our respects to the Elders past, present and emerging for

they hold the memories, the traditions, the culture and hopes of Aboriginal and Torres

Strait Islander peoples’.

FROM BISHOP GREG

Bishop Greg announced the following this past week:

During the upcoming Chrism Mass Mr. Brenton Mortimer will be accepted for candidacy for the Permanent Diaconate. I have received a recommendation to this effect from the Commission for Orders, and from the Director of the Ministry Formation Programme which has been supervising Brenton’s preparation.

Our St. Mary of the Angels’ Parish Family warmly congratulates Brenton on this fantastic news. Brenton has been on a journey to Holy Orders as a Deacon since 2013. His patience, perseverance and thorough preparation throughout this long journey has been a rich testimony to his faith and willingness to embrace the call of God to service in the Church.

Please continue to keep Brenton in your prayers as he embraces the last part of his journey to ordination. Brenton has been grateful for your prayers and support over the duration.

We thank him for all he does to enliven faith and bring God’s love to our Parish and wider Port Lincoln Community.

The Chrism Mass will be celebrated on Wednesday 10th April in St. Mark’s Cathedral at 11.30a.m. Whilst some members of our Parish Family have already registered for the Diocesan Assembly and will be present at the Chrism Mass others may now like to attend to be present and support Brenton on this important occasion.

The Assembly takes place on Tuesday 9th and Wednesday 10th April or you simply might like to be present for the Chrism Mass.

Registration forms for the Assembly are available on Tom’s Table.

PARISH PASTORAL COUNCIL MEETING: TODAY

A brief meeting of the Parish Pastoral Council will be held this morning (Sunday) immediately after the 9.00a.m. Mass to follow up on some Actions arising from the Extraordinary Meeting held a fortnight ago.

Please supply own palms or olive branches if possible to take home after Palm Sunday blessing.

PRAYERFUL CONGRATULATIONS

Bishop Greg recently approved the appointment of Nicole Russell (St. Joseph’s School, Assistant Principal, Religious Identity and Mission) as an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion in our Parish. We congratulate Nicole on her appointment and thank her for her generosity in embracing this most important office of immense love in our Parish and School. Nicole will be commissioned during Mass today.

Thought for the Week

What a crazy world … so much that shouldn’t be,

but also so many who try to sow seeds of

goodness and love.

(Fr Bill Edwards SDB)

LENTEN CELEBRATIONS OF THE SACRAMENT OF RECONCILIATION

The communal celebrations of the Sacrament of Reconciliation which have traditionally been held on a weekday during Lent and Advent have reduced significantly in participation over time. The Parish would like to try a new approach this Lent.

The Gospels of today and next Sunday speak powerfully of God’s mercy.

Following our two weekend Masses next weekend there will be an opportunity to gather as a Parish Family to celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation and receive God’s forgiving and merciful love.

These Liturgies will be celebrated at 7.00p.m. (Saturday) and 10.00a.m. (Sunday) and will be reasonably brief.

Copies of an Examination of Conscience are available on the Church pews this morning to assist you to prepare to receive the gift of God’s abundant mercy.

We invite you to commit an extra half hour next weekend to enhance and deepen your Lenten journey.

NEW ROSTERS FOR BREAKFAST HOSPITALITY AND COUNTING

Rosters for the next year beginning April 7th can be collected from Tom’s Table.

Please invite others to join your group to sustain this great hospitality outreach.

ST JOSEPH’S SCHOOL OPEN HOUSE WEDNESDAY: 3RD-APRIL 4.30-7.00p.m.

This Wednesday 3rd April, the Multicultural Restaurant will showcase our Parish

Chefs at the School Open Night. We are still looking for a few more dishes. If you

can help please contact Anna 0427609698. Sample plates are $5. with all

proceeds going to support the work of Caritas Australia’s Project Compassion. Tea,

coffee and soft drinks available. Our Parish restaurant is in the quadrangle area

adjacent to the Staff Room and Junior Primary classrooms.

NET TEAM–

PARISH YOUTH RETREAT WITH MASS SATURDAY, 6TH APRIL

The NET Team will be offering a young parishioners’ Retreat on Saturday the

6th April ages 13-18yrs, Church Hall 1–5.30pm. They will prepare and plan

for the YOUTH Mass to follow at 6pm. If your child would like to partake in the

retreat or as a family in the shared supper following the Mass please add

your name to the sheet on Toms Table.

WITH GRATITUDE

Special thanks to Anna Hurrell for her fantastic work in preparing the Parish House for Fr. John Folkman’s arrival and to Elisabeth Harvey for generously renewing the brass baptismal font lid.

Fourth Sunday of Lent 31st March 2019

Michaela is a 21-year-old trainee at Purple House, a dialysis center in the Cen-tral Desert for people suffering from kidney disease. The Aboriginal-controlled service gives patients the opportunity to stay connected with their culture. They do this through traditional healing practices and income-generating activities, such as making bush balms and soaps. With the support of Caritas partners, Michaela is helping to build a social enterprise, a connection to culture and a new outlook for the chronically ill.

Please donate to Project Compassion 2019 and help lift communities in Indonesia out of poverty, and give them hope to protect our common home.

Lives change when we all give 100%. You can donate through Parish boxes and envelopes, by visiting www.caritas.org.au/projectcompassion

or phoning 1800 024 413.
