Mother Teresa was born Anjezë Gonxhe Bogaxhiu in 1910 in Skopje, capital of present day Macedonia; died 5th September, 1997 (aged 87) her Feast Day. Anjezë means Agnes (little flower) in Albanian. Teresa left home in 1928 at age 18 to join the Sisters of Loreto in Ireland. She arrived in India in 1929 and, when taking her first vows Agnes opted for the Span-ish spelling of her name—Teresa. She began missionary work with the poor in 1948, replacing her Loreto habit with a simple, white cotton sari with a blue border. Teresa adopted Indian citi-zenship, and began tending to the poor and hungry. At the beginning of 1949 Teresa was joined in her effort by a group of young women, and she laid the foundation for a new religious community helping the "poorest among the poor".
On behalf of the Asylum Seekers Resource Centre, we thank our parishioners who have already donated toiletry items, most sincerely for their generous sup-port over the past couple of weeks. We will continue for another week or so with baskets in the back of St John's and St Joseph’s Churches for any further donations. Thank you for your generosity. Many people in our families, our schools, our jobs, and our world need our ears opened. Many don’t want our advice. They just want us to listen without judgement while they talk about what hurts. Others need us to stand up with and for them at school or in our community. They need us to listen closely to understand their problems. Others, like parents and mentors, are crying to offer us advice for life. They need us to listen to their wisdom without getting defensive. Do we hear the cries or advice as we go through life? Or do we rush so quickly that we miss them? This week, each day, ask Jesus to open your ears so you can listen closely. People will come across your path who need you to listen, or to whom you need to lis-ten.

First Communion Four children from our Sacramental Program will be having their First Communion at Mass today (Sunday) ... Zara Ferrante, Samuel Golino, Harriette Probyn and Octavia Reid. We congratulate these four children and may they enjoy their journey of faith. The rebuilding of our beautiful St Joseph’s church has now been completed. In order to keep our church in good working order it is essential that money has to be spent on it to maintain this level of beauty. Last Sunday, Father’s Day, over 240 parishioners and their families gathered together in the hall, firstly to celebrate Father’s Day, and secondly to raise funds for this very purpose. The fundraising event was a big success, as usual. There were plenty of delicious foods, topped with a concert program performed beautifully by the choir and the children from the Eucharist Youth Group. A big thank to those who attended the luncheon and especially to those involved with the organising of this special event. Also, may we take this opportunity to thank the generosity and support of the parishion-ers in the past – the parishioners who built, main-tained and supported our church since 1862. The results of the raffle are ... First prize ticket num-ber is 0969; second prize is 0013; third prize is 0982; fourth prize 1279; and fifth prize 0840. Please contact Can Tran 0424870414 to claim your prize.
