AN INVITATION TO ALL MINISTERS OF COMMUNION AND OTHERS WHO CAN ASSIST

Over four weekends in May, 121 children of our community will be celebrating their first Communion. We will be having practice sessions at St. Anne’s Church on Tuesdays 27 April, 4, 11 & 25 May at 7.00pm and at Our Lady of Mt Carmel Church on Wednesday 28 May at 7.00pm.
It would be a great demonstration of support for these children and their families if you could assist the teachers, RE coordinators and Catechists at these sessions and at the First Communion Masses.
If you are able to assist in this important work of initiating new members into our community, please phone the Parish Office on 9744 1060 and leave your name and phone number, or email ‘richardhallett@olmcsunbury.org.au’

RITE OF ACCEPTANCE FOR EUCHARIST

Loving God, you have filled these children with the desire to be nourished in the Eucharist.
May they ever deepen their awareness of your love for them and grow ever closer to your Son, Jesus, within their family and within our community.
We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen

CONFIRMATION PRESENTATION OF STOLES

Blessing of the candidates by the Assembly:

Lord, bless these young people who are preparing to celebrate the Sacrament of Confirmation.

Continue to guide them as they come to know more fully the Risen Christ’s love for them.

Fill them with the grace and the power of your Spirit, so that they may be living examples of Christ’s life for each other and the wider community.

We make our prayer through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen

HOSPITALITY

‘DO NOT NEGLECT TO SHOW HOSPITALITY TO STRANGERS’
Hebrews 13:2

The note of welcome permeates the New Testament. The two on the road to Emmaus would never had met the risen Christ if they had not welcomed him as a stranger into their home.
Christ had experienced rejection.

‘He came to what was his own, and his own people did not accept him’ (John 1:11)

Over the next three weeks, let us show hospitality to our many visitors
