This weekend is a marriage enrichment program for married couples. Volunteer couples and a priest present the weekend.
It is based around Catholic values, but you don’t need to be Catholic to attend. Forget life’s tensions and interruptions and rekindle the closeness, intimacy, love and romance that brought you together in the first place.
The last weekend for 2009 will be held at Lysterfield on 18-20 September.

Archbishop Hart writes: ‘Dear friends, I would be most grateful if you can contribute to the Fathers’ Day Appeal for our retired priests. Some donors have been supporting the Appeal since its inception in 1990 by the late Archbishop Little (R.I.P.). This shows how much the Catholic people of Melbourne value the huge contribution made by priests who are now retired, but have cared for them in former times.
Your generous donations have ensured a normal living for our priests who have served actively in the Archdiocese, but who are now elderly and frail. In fact, in the past twelve months, the Priests’ Retirement Foundation has assisted me in caring for about one hundred sick or retired priests.’
Our support for our retired priests and sick priests who have shown us deep spiritual care, is a true sign of gratitude.
Be sure that I will remember you all in my Masses and prayers’.
As part of our Parish Neighbourhood Target—’that all the people of OLMC Parish are aware of the value of every person’ – we are planning to conduct a parish census during October.
