Barry and Judy McAloney have represented our Parish on the Lay Ecumenical Committee (L.E.C) for eleven years and been very involved in setting up the Good Friday Service and Christian Carols Service on the Village Green and other ecumenical events. We thank them for their dedicated and important work. As they have now retired from the LEC, we now need two new representatives– the committee meets about 7 or 8 times a year.

We are in need of the skills of someone who knows how to repair our beautiful but damaged Nativity scene. Our maintenance team are in the process of fixing our beautiful statues, but needs help from someone who knows how to mould fibreglass or plaster. Nurses repairing broken limbs may be able to assist. If you have the necessary skills, please contact Jo Wiegerink on 9744 5788. If these beautiful statues cannot be repaired, we will need to look at replacing them which will be quite costly.
In today’s Gospel, people have difficulty believing that Jesus can forgive sins. Is God asking you to forgive the sins of His people as His ordained priest? Are you called to bring Good News to the poor? Say “yes” to God’s call.
We would love to hear from people who are able to assist with Children’s Liturgy of the Word at Sunday Mass. Please contact the Parish Office on 9744 1060 to register your interest.

Fr Tom entered eternal life last week aged 90 years after being a priest for 64 years, even after retiring in 2006, he ministered in a local nursing home. He served in the parishes of East Brighton, Elsternwick, Mansfield, Clifton Hill, Glen Iris, Ascot Vale and then as parish priest of Geelong North, Macleod and Balwyn until 2006. As he began his studies for the priesthood in 1940, his local priest described Tom as “a young man of excellent, manly character, solid piety, as well as a thorough gentleman in his manner.”
A good Vocation prayer to say everyday, from the time we are ten years old till we are ninety years old, is found in today’s first Scripture Reading: ‘Speak, Lord for your servant is listening.’ Just try it with sincerity starting today.
