Remembrance Day 

Remembrance Day, which is commemorated on November 11th, marks the end of the First World War. On this day, Australians will pause for a minute of silence at 11 a.m. to remember the service and sacrifice of all those who have served in wars, conflicts, and peace operations. 

As a symbol of remembrance, red poppies are available for purchase from the front office. Funds raised through the 2025 Poppy Appeal will assist veterans and their families.

Please take the opportunity to discuss with your children the sacrifice made by many men, women and families. It is also an opportunity to pray for peace in our world, in our communities and in our own hearts.

“Peace is what I leave with you; it is my own peace that I give

 you. I do not give it as the world does. Do not be worried and

 upset; do not be afraid. You heard me say to you, ‘I am leaving,

but I will come back to you.’ If you loved me, you would be

glad that I am going to the Father; for he is greater than I. 

I have told you this now before it all happens, so that when it

does happen, you will believe. I cannot talk with you much

longer, because the ruler of this world is coming. He has no

power over me, but the world must know that I love the Father;

that is why I do everything as he commands me.”

John. (14: 27-31)

November - Pray for our Departed Loved Ones

November is a time for remembering and praying for our loved ones who have gone before us and whose loss we feel. It is a time when we are particularly conscious of those who are grieving and all those families and communities who have lost loved ones in the past year.

"Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen."
