WORLD MISSION SUNDAY
Last week, the Universal Church, including this parish, celebrated World Mission Sunday. It was a time in the liturgical calendar when Catholics acknowledge, and give thanks for, the selfless sacrifice made by priests, brothers and religious sisters around the world, as they look to serve people in need by bringing hope, faith and love. It is these people that model the compassion of Christ and the grace of God and who you were invited to support, by contributing to the Catholic Mission appeal campaign.
If you have not yet made a donation, you can still do so, in any of the following three ways: through a text message (Text the word GIVE to 0488 854 436, enter your parish name in the notes and follow the prompts), donate online (catholicmission.org.au/Cambodia) or give via the traditional appeal envelopes that are still available from your church.
To all those who did contribute, by donating or offering prayers, we thank you. May the Lord bless all of you and sustain your com-munity at this challenging social time, just as you have sustained other communities around the world. David McGovern

THE COMMON GOOD IN A COVID WORLD - A statement by Catholic Bishops of Queensland for the 2020 State Election
As Catholics we look to the city of God. This obliges us to take our place firmly and faithfully in the human city that we are called to join others in building. That’s why we take elections and our participation in them as seriously as we do. Politics is by no means everything, but the political process is very much part of building a truly human city that looks to the city of God. – A Statement by the Catholic Bishops of Queensland for the 2020 State Election
