WORKERS IN THE VINEYARD

July is the month when we consider how we can make a difference in our community by contributing a small amount of time and energy to one another.

  • How do we feel when someone welcomes us at the church door with the newsletter and a smile?
  • Who drives someone to the occasional hospital visit?
  • If someone is housebound, how would it brighten their day to have a short visit, prayer and communion?
  • How important to us is being able to join in the liturgy more fully with the music and AV screens?
  • Who washes the linen, opens and closes the church, sets up for each Mass for us?

With encouragement and a little support we call all contribute sometimes.
Please feel welcome to become a ‘Worker in the Vineyard’.

WORKERS IN THE VINEYARD

During the month of July the parish will focus on the many ministries that are carried out in our community and how we may become involved in one. Each one of us has been given some gift that we are able to share with another, the gift of listening, driving, visiting or praying for others, the gift of technology, setting-up or preparing for our liturgies. With many sharing the load you would be asked to give a small amount of time and energy in our own parish community.
Forms will be available at our churches during July.
We will celebrate the gifts we offer to one another at our Parish Feast Day on 24/25 July.
Please consider how you may be able to offer some time to working in the parish vineyard.

COULD YOU CARE FOR A CHILD WITH SPECIAL NEEDS

Centacare Catholic Family Services is looking for adoptive or long-term foster care parents who feel prepared to take on the additional challenges of a child with special needs.

Centacare’s Adoptions and Permanent Care program manager Kathleen West says, ‘We are particularly seeking adoptive or long term foster care parents for a beautiful little two year old girl called Anne who has severe disabilities. We are hoping to find a family who can provide full time care for Anne for life. We need a family who is patient and resilient, able to manage Anne’s ongoing medical requirements and prepared to work with support and therapeutic services. Most importantly, we need someone who can accept Anne’s disabilities, limitations and unknown future, and love her for who she is’.

If you would like more information on providing Anne or another child, including those with special needs, with a loving home environment, please contact Centacare Catholic Family Services between 9am – 5pm Monday to Friday on 9689 3888.
