Next weekend our parish will be holding the annual Catholic Mission Church Appeal. This year we are invited to partner with the Church in Cambodia, which is reaching out to those who have been affected by disability and giving them hope and support to live a fulfilling life. Chen was just 16 years old when he lost both his legs in a landmine accident. Knowing that his life would never be the same, he felt hopeless, until he and his family were approached by the Arrupe Centre. Led by Bishop Enrique Figaredo Alvargonzalez, the Arrupe Centre provides children like Chen with support and opportunities they may not access otherwise. Next week you will be offered the opportunity to personally partner with the Church in Cambodia as a monthly giving partner, with all gifts specifically directed to support community and child-focused programs in Cambodia. Please come prepared to give generously. Freecall: 1800 257 296 catholicmission.org.au/cambodia

CONFIRMATION 2020
Dear Parents, Bishop Michael has given all priests of the Diocese authority to confirm the children who request the Sacrament this year. This authority is valid till 24 December 2020. He has recommended that the Sacrament be celebrated in the same way that we have been celebrating First Reconciliation and First Eucharist, namely: 1. Completion of the Confirmation Preparation Course.
2. Completion of the required 2020 Confirmation Request Form (available from the Parish Office), attaching:
- the Baptism Certificate of the child and - the Confirmation Certificate of the Sponsor (who must be over 16 and a Confirmed Catholic).
3. Arranging for reception of the Sacrament at a Mass of the family's choice by contacting Cathy at the Parish Office – 6331 3066.Note well: 1.The Covid restrictions still apply to our Churches so we will need to limit: a) the number of children who can be confirmed at any one time (especially at weekend
Masses); b) the number of guests who attend the child’s Confirmation ceremony.
2. The Diocesan Confirmation Policy promulgated by Bishop Michael in 2018 states that children and their parents have the option of postponing the Sacrament until a later age if they so wish.
Blessings on all our families,
Fr Paul Devitt VG
