APRE News

In the readings for this week, The Ascension of our Lord (Luke 24:46-53) into heaven was celebrated at Mass on Sunday.  The time had come for Jesus to say goodbye to his disciples and return to his Father in heaven.  Jesus commanded that the forgiveness of sins be preached to all and then was carried from their sight but was still with them in their hearts and in their gatherings.  We are called, like the disciples, to be Jesus’ continued presence on earth bringing freedom, healing and forgiveness to all. 

 

This week at Holy Spirit, we value faithfulness.  Faithfulness is highly regarded throughout the Bible.  It is listed by Paul as a ‘fruit of the Spirit’ (Galatians 5:22).  Jesus puts faithfulness alongside justice and mercy (Matthew 23:23).  Mother Teresa said, ‘I do not pray for success. I ask for faithfulness.’  God’s faithfulness towards us gives us an example to follow in our own relationships.  Faithfulness is something we should strive for in friendships and in our relationship with others and God.  This week we pray that each one of us in our own way can share God’s words and faith with those around us. 

 

This Sunday, our parish celebrate the Feast Day of Pentecost.  Mass will be held at 10am and will be presided by Fr John and Bishop Tim.  This will be followed by cultural presentations and lunch in Bibi Goo Yumba.  If you are interested in attending, please let the Parish Office know on 47791404 for catering purposes.  Everyone is welcome.

 

Congratulations to our second group of students who received the Sacrament of First Eucharist on Sunday with the Holy Spirit Parish.  Once again, it was lovely to see so many families and friends support the children on their faith journey.
