This Sunday’s Readings
This week’s Good News & Two minute homily
This Sunday, being Prison Sunday, brings attention to the plight of
prisoners and highlights the important work that prison chaplains
undertake.
In 2021, Prison Sunday is being used to support and encourage
prison chaplains. As Pope Francis has said: “The task of a chaplain is
to let the prisoners know that the Lord is inside them. No cell is so
isolated that it can keep the Lord out. He is there. He cries with them,
works with them, hopes with them. His paternal and maternal love
arrives everywhere.”
For more information please go to www.catholic.org.au/prisonsunday
Prayer for the work of prison chaplains in the Archdiocese:
God of all life, Your son called us to be compassionate, just as You
are compassionate.
And so we pray:
For our generous Earth, who, even when mistreated, continues to
nourish and sustain us. May we grow in mutual care.
For our suffering peoples, who, even when facing injustices, teach us
resilience and hope. May we grow in mutual care.
For each one of us, who, in times of vulnerability, draws on divine love
and strength. May we grow in mutual care.
For our prison ministries, which, in times of change, find new ways of
reaching out and in. May we grow in mutual care.
And may we be blessed and inspired as we hear these words anew:
“For you had compassion for those who were in prison "One in the
name of Jesus, gentle and humble of heart.”
Amen.

Community forum event Sunday,
21 November 2021 9:30am to
12:30pm at Walton Bridge Park,
The Gap
It is my pleasure, on behalf of Sustainability in The Gap, to invite parishioners to attend our Community Forum
which will take place on Sunday, 21 November 2021 from 9:30am to 12:30pm at Walton Bridge Park, The Gap
(next to the Police station).
At this event, Sustainability in The Gap will run a drop in bbq sausage sizzle. We hope to engage our community
in the valuable work of Sustainability in The Gap.
We have engaged with Paten Road Nursery and will have experts in relation to our environment, who will be able
to give some short talks and explanations to interested groups.
There will be nature walks and an art painting and craft activity for children. We will also be engaging with our
Indigenous elders to have some discussions around their history in The Gap and the like.
Regards, CRAIG RAY, Co-Coordinator, The Gap Sustainability Forum
