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.
EASTER MASS OF ANOINTING OF THE SICK AND INFIRM
This Mass will be celebrated this Wednesday 14 April at 10.00am in St Anne’s Church followed by morning tea.

PROGRESS REPORT ON WORKS AT OUR SCHOOLS
On Monday, the building workers return after their ten-day Easter break. They have taken their rostered days off (RDO’s) together so now it will be full steam ahead in the next weeks working five or six days a week, as all parties (builders and schools) want the construction to finish as soon as possible for the benefit of our children.

WELCOME TO OUR NEW CATHOLICS
This Easter we welcome Alison Fisher, Eni Saban, Jason & Sue Wight into our Catholic community. After personal reflection and regular weekly accompaniment by some of our parishioners in the Catechumenate apostolate, they have decided to join us. Please make them feel welcome in the months ahead. Our thanks to the Catechumenate team which has met most Monday evenings since last September…..Fr Kevin
COMING TO RECEIVE HOLY COMMUNION
In 2008, the Australian Bishops directed that we should bow slightly one back from the minister of communion. Genuflecting before receiving was not permitted as it is a safety hazard especially for people behind unsteady on their feet, who can be easily tripped up and fall causing a broken hip. We have just prayed aloud: ‘Lord, I am not worthy to receive you……..’ Our parish is committed to having a safe environment for the benefit of all and to satisfy the parish’s legal responsibilities.
……Fr Kevin
Our Lady of Mount Carmel Parish Sunbury
