Sunday in Ord. Time

1st / 2nd August 2015 Vol. 33 No. 34

Paul and Sonia Tanham are

celebrating their 60th wedding

anniversary on the 19th August.

They came to the Holy Rosary

Parish in 1966 with four children

and two more children were born

while they lived in Woodlands. All

of their six children and seven of

their grandchildren have been

educated in Holy Rosary school,

Siena, Marist Brothers and now

Newman College. Paul and Sonia

have been part of the Holy Rosary

Parish for the past 48 years and

they have seen many changes over

the years including the building of

the church. They look forward to

many more years at the church

and in the area.

Parish Open Day Hits the Mark

The organisers of last weekend’s Parish Open Day are

delighted with its success. Event co-ordinator Helen Murray

says the outcome was extremely pleasing.

Fr Peter opened the event, reminding the crowd of the parable

of the loaves and fishes with its powerful lesson about sharing

and relationship formation. More than 300 people are

estimated to have attended. The event centred on fellowship,

friendship and family fun with the level of participation

spanning all age groups.

Many people commented favourably on the wide range of

activities and enterprises undertaken in the parish, some of

which were not previously known to them. New volunteers

were enlisted for numerous groups and ministries.

As a result of generous donations, 5 gourmet hampers and 10

other prizes were raffled on the day and 3 door prizes awarded.

The day featured a cake stall, organised by Felicity Kendall and

supported by the Holy Rosary School P &F, a sausage sizzle,

information desks, music entertainment, morning tea and

coffee, children’s activities and a baby animal farm. One

highlight was the unveiling of a series of 27 stunning

photographic “mini-murals” depicting parish life – all taken

and produced by Richard Goodwin.

The money raised from each stall amounted to:

Tea & Coffee $ 117.90

Sausage Sizzle $ 406.00

P & F Cake stall $ 595.90

Raffle $ 609.30

TOTAL $1,729.10

Father Peter, on behalf of the Parish Pastoral Council, would

like to thank everyone who contributed their time and energy to

the success of the Open Day, with special thanks to

Helen Murray, Richard Goodwin, Charles Vinci and the Holy

Rosary School P & F and everyone who attended.

Saint of the Week

St Dominic

Feast Day: 7th

August

St. Dominic, the founder of the Order of

Preachers (the Dominicans) was born at

Calaruega, Spain in 1170. He was a man

who led an austere life dedicated to God

He travelled widely, but always in

humility, without pomp or retainers, and

often even without his shoes.

He was dedicated to education, believing

that knowledge would open peoples' eyes

to the truth about the Lord. He died in

1221 and was canonised in 1234.

St Dominic is the patron saint of scientists,

astronomers and astronomy, all of which

reflect his love of learning and spreading

knowledge.[read more - www.catholic.org/saints] ____________________________________________________________
