A NEW SUMMER SCHOOL EXPLORING THE CHURCH’S TEACHING ON MARRIAGE IS COMING TO TASMANIA.

In January 2019, the inaugural Matrimonium Summer School will take place in Hobart. At a time when so much of the Church’s teaching on marriage and the family is contested by the secular culture, it is important that young Catholics take this opportunity to go deeper in their understanding of these key teachings. The program will provide an opportunity for participants to be engaged at the level of the head and the heart. This deeper knowledge will give you the confidence and knowledge to be an effective Christian witness in our society. It will also help prepare you for whatever vocation that you believe you are called to.

For more information check out the Matrimonium Summer School 2019 website or contact Ben Smith on 03 6208 6036 or ben.smith@aohtas.org.au .

Catechist Sunday – TAKE A RISK AND GIVE THE GIFT OF FAITH

In our parish, there is a team of volunteers that take a risk and step out in faith. State Government schools do not provide lessons that teach the basic message about Jesus, our faith, and the great adventure that life can be with God. We were all given our gift of faith by someone—someone who stepped-up for us so that we would know Jesus. Each week of the school year, Catechists present 30-minute lessons using a step-by-step lesson plan that helps Catholic children understand their faith, grow in love and maturity, and learn what it means to be Catholic. Take a risk and give the gift of faith. Become a Catechist teacher or helper today!

For more information, please call 4222 2416 or ask your parish priest for more information

THE JOURNEY CATHOLIC RADIO PROGRAM | AIRS 14th OCTOBER

This week on The Journey, we reflect on the Gospel of St Mark, Sr Hilda shares her Wisdom from the Abbey with “the unexpected gift”. The Peaceful Parent, Marilyn Rodrigues, reminds us to have “realistic expectations of ourselves”, and we are encouraged by Bruce Downes, The Catholic Guy, of the importance of “deeper prayer”.

SOCIAL JUSTICE STATEMENT: “A PLACE TO CALL HOME: MAKING A HOME FOR EVERYONE IN OUR LAND”

“Every day in our streets, we, like the Samaritan, see wounded people desperately in need of help. They are the homeless and the lost, injured by misfortune, by violence and by poverty. How have so many people come to be on the streets of such a rich nation?” (SJS, Reflection on the parable of the Good Samaritan, 3)

The Bishops’ Statement begins with Jesus’ parable of the Good Samaritan. Consider this parable in the light of Australia’s homelessness crisis. There are various ways we can be Good Samaritans—some people help with emergency relief or a bed for the night, while others use their community connections to provide support and create more housing. All kinds of responses are needed.
