Charitable Works Fund
The Charitable Works Fund (CWF) Parish Appeal is running this weekend 2nd & 3rd May. The CWF funds six agencies: Aboriginal Catholic Ministry, CatholicCare, Chaplaincies, Confraternity of Christian Doctrine (CCD), Ephpheta Centre and The Seminary of the Good Shepherd. The generosity of those who contribute financially to the CWF, means that these agencies are able to assist thousands of people each year.
Our parish quota for the May Appeal is $7,395.
Envelopes are available at the Church Entrances or you can give directly online by visiting https://www.ourfaithourworks.org/parishgiving/#donate
May is the Month of the Rosary
A prayer full of blessings as we contemplate the mysteries of our salvation. Let us make use of this beautiful prayer as we continue to grow together in faith and love. We can receive many benefits from praying the Rosary. We can have peace of mind, an increase in love for Jesus, unity with our Church, follow Mary's request, understand better the will of God in our lives, and a greater focus on God instead of ourselves.
Before you pray the Rosary, take a moment to quiet yourself. Pray before you begin, asking God to be with you and lead you. As you pray, reflect on the mysteries with your intention in mind. Write down any messages, insights, or thoughts that came to you as you prayed that you want to remember.
We extend our sincerest thanks to the Quan Family, formerly from the Solomon Islands and Founders of the Rosary Mission Group, for generously donating a variety of colourful hand-made and beautifully beaded Rosaries to St Martha’s.
The Rosary can be a source of hope and comfort, especially during challenging times. Praying the Holy Rosary is a great opportunity for each of us to strengthen our relationship with Our Lady. The Blessed Rosaries are now available in the Church foyer. An offering into the LIFELINE DONATION BOX would be appreciated.
Piety Stall
St Martha's Piety Stall located in the Church foyer has a wide variety of sacramental and religuious goods such as candles, statues, rosaries, cards and other devotional items. Please see the warden after Mass if you would like to purchase an item.
