Spiritual Connections

October is the month of the Rosary.  It is a time we offer our prayers to Mary the Mother of Jesus in what is a beautiful mantra the Rosary.

Praying the Rosary allows us to encounter Mary and to enter the mysteries of Jesus Christ. From his Incarnation, to the Cross, to the Resurrection, we come to understand that God has revealed himself and saved us. May the Blessed Virgin Mary, Our Lady of the Rosary, continue to inspire us to a life of discipleship.

If you would like to pray the Rosary with your family the following link is very helpful: 

On October 14, this Saturday, we have the opportunity to vote in the referendum that asks us if we should acknowledge our Aboriginal, our First Nations people, in our Australian constitution.   

Yes or No.  Two small words that will either recognise our Aboriginal Nations as one in Australia or not. 

Catholics are encouraged to use their own discernment.

You may want to read Pope John Paul II address to the Aborigines' and Torres Strait Islanders  and the Uluru Statement from the Heart.

Have a happy, holy and safe week ahead.
