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’

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.

OUR PRAYERFUL SYMPATHY
We extend to Kath Kilgariff and her son David on the passing of Mike Kilgariff into eternal life on Good Friday after receiving the Sacrament of the Eucharist at home the previous evening, Holy Thursday as all Eucharistic Catholics endeavour to do. The overflowing congregation in St Anne’s Church last Thursday was testament to Mike’s involvement in community life at Diggers Rest being awarded life membership in the C.F.A. and the Lions Club. Two of his children, Jeannie and Daniel, after a long illness went ahead of him to eternal life.
