Prayer & Acknowledgment

PRAYER

Every year at 11am on 11th November – the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month – we pause to remember those men and women who have served and those who have died in all wars and peacekeeping operations.

This year in Melbourne, the Remembrance Day Service at the Shrine will reflect upon 21 years of service in the 21st century. The past 21 years have seen Australians serve all over the world in conflicts, peacekeeping and peacemaking missions. 

Here at home, the Australian Defence Force has supported our community through some of the most challenging experiences of our generation – from floods to bush fires and in the front lines of the current pandemic.

Keep In Your Prayers and Thoughts…

All our Priests, seminarians and deacons.

Friends or family who have passed away this year.

Our friends and family who are unwell at the moment.

All our families and students, in the midst of the ongoing pandemic and isolation time at home, keep them safe and healthy.

Our teachers as they guide our children during this pandemic.

“And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith.” 

Matthew 21:22

Welcome to Country

This is my land. My land is alive. 

It calls you and it calls me. 

Our people have been living here since the first sunrise.  

I sing a song to her and she sings a song to me.

My spirit born of this country, 

I am Yorta Yorta.   

We pay our respects to the elders past and present and welcome you to our woka.  

Welcome!
