5th Annual Combined UC-RC Dinner

The combined dinner sadly has been postponed this year due to few registered participants.

Dear people,

We read the Gospel of St Luke, where Martha is doing all the work and Mary listens to the Word of the Lord. It is true, that we are so busy in our lives, as the bills must be paid, the housework and shopping must be done. In our hectic and sometimes frantic world, the Word of God cannot be heard only, but a silent whisper. In our home, when the kitchen clock chimes 6pm, it is our “Family Time”. The TV and radio are turned off, we say our prayer, for a wonderful day and the work of our hands, and the blessings of abundant food, and the loving people around our table. Peace and God’s Word are to be found, everyday in our lives. Let us set aside a time for God’s Word everyday, as He will never forget us, ever.

Shalom, Elaine & Ed Mertens

WEEKDAY MASSES

Work on lighting in the Cathedral will commence on

Tuesday 23rd July for 2 weeks.

Please note that from 23rd July to 6th August the week-

day Masses will be held at St Anthony’s Church,

The Vigil and Sunday Masses will still be held in the

Cathedral as usual.

We are writing to thank you and the Parishioners of St Mark’s Cathedral Parish for your generous and gracious hospitality.

Please thank the Port Pirie community for the huge effort that went into the preparation of the morning tea and the lovely connection so many people made with Brenda and her family. Brenda and her sister, Jane both said they were overwhelmed with the hospitality shown to them and it would have made a positive impression on Brenda’s children and grandchildren.

The National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Catholic Council have asked if we can send in photos and a short description of the event. We will do this and send a copy of the same for the Parish Bulletin.

In gratitude

Sr Kenise

HOLY TRINITY NOTICES

Next Sunday 28.7.2019: GRANDPARENTS DAY. Cuppa after Mass in the Regis Parish Centre. Hosts- Kay, Annette S, Jean. Please bring a plate and enjoy fellowship.

TUESDAY 30.7.2019: HOLY TRINITY GROUPS MEETING 7:30 p.m. In the Regis Parish Centre. Please let us know if there are any issues you would like discussed.

I grew up in a traditional Catholic family where Sunday Masses and frequent Confessions were considered an obligation. As my home parish is pastored by the Redemptorist Religious, so Wednesday Novenas were part of our weekly religious schedules. More so, I got to accompany my Grandma to Church, as she needed assistance with stairs and walking during my grade school days.

Little by little, these Sundays and religious obligations become like a need, like our need for water, food and other supplements. How do we approach our Sacraments of the Eucharist and Reconciliation? Is it a penance to do so, or is it liberating and strengthening? Maybe it depends upon the homily and the music? I know that we ministers have to do our examination of conscience too. However, the Sacraments have the power to penetrate the deepest needs of our body and soul regardless of who is the celebrant or whatever music is played.

In short, there is healing and refreshing moments in our Sacraments. It is an encounter with our Risen Lord. It is beneficial to do so.

Blessed Sunday Fr Jimmy

God’s divine goodness and self-expression are written in all creation. They can be read in the ‘book of creation.’ The ‘book of creation’ actually gives us a glimpse of its writer. For Saint Bonaventure, the ‘words’ of the ‘book of the universe’ reveal its creator. Fr Dennis Edwards wrote, “If we are to address and get to the root-cause of the ecological crisis we need to turn to the book and strive to learn from the ‘words’ of creation. ACTION: Spend some quiet time this week with the ‘book of creation’. What delights you? What inspires you to protect all live forms? What can you do in your daily life? Laudato Si , page 9

FEAST OF ST ANNE The Triduum will be held at St Anthony’s

Church on 23rd,24th and 25th July, and Mass on 26th July, at 2.30pm.
