From the Religious
Co-Ordinator
The gift of faith and love has been handed down to us through parents, grandparents and great-grandparents. Look with favour on all our grandparents and bless them through the intercession of St Anne and St Joachim, the grandparents of Jesus.
On Monday 26 July, we celebrated the Feast of St. Anne & St. Joachim,
Parents of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
St. Anne is the Patron Saint of grandparents, child care providers, childless people, children, equestrians, homemakers/ housewives and lace makers. She is also the Patron Saint of St. Anne’s Church Bondi Beach. St. Joachim is the Patron Saint of grandparents and fathers.
Relics of both St. Anne & St. Joachim are located in St. Anne’s Church.

On the 8th August will be Mary MacKillop Feast Day
This Feast Day is held in honour of the revered Saint Mary of the Cross MacKillop. She was the first Saint of Australia, and her influence in the country has spread far and wide. She is recognised for her commitment to the poor, helping those who needed it the most in any way she could.
