Prayer of the Week and News from Holy Spirit Parish/Fr Arsenio
PRAYER OF THE WEEK
The Sacrament of Eucharist will be celebrated at each Parish Mass over next term.
The Eucharist Candidates will be students from Year 4 and 5 at Holy Spirit and there will also be some candidates from the High Spirits Program that is run in the parish for children from other schools.
A form with lots of information has been sent to each of the families involved.
The Try Booking System has not yet been opened and will be once the Parish Staff can attend their workplace. There are 21 masses available for you to book on. I will let you know when it has been opened. If all goes well it will be next Wednesday. You will need to book through this system to attend a Eucharist Mass.
A Prayer for Holy Communion
Blessing the Bread, the Cup
Let us bless the bread
that gives itself to us
with its terrible weight,
its infinite grace.
Let us bless the cup
poured out for us
with a love
that makes us anew.
Let us gather
around these gifts
simply given
and deeply blessed.
And then let us go
bearing the bread,
carrying the cup,
laying the table
within a hungering world.

PARISH NEWS
At the time of writing this, Melbourne is still in lockdown. The Parish House is also in lockdown and staff are working from home. In anticipation of easing of restrictions on Friday, we may or may not have weekend masses. Please stay tuned to the media. We pray and hope that we can return to some sort of “normality” soon. Therefore there is not much news from the Parish however, you can access “The Word” on our website which is still being produced on a weekly basis. Thank you and above all, please all stay safe.
