24.01.2022 Founded in 1904, St Mary Star of the Sea Church is a Roman Catholic church located in Cottesloe, Perth. Our church is named after Our Lady, Star of the Sea, which was a title given to the Blessed Virgin in the 4th century by St Jerome. A translation of the Latin "Stella Maris", the title is used to emphasize Marys role as a guiding star on the way to Christ. Under this name, the Virgin Mary intercedes as a guide and protector of seafarers.... This year, our parish is going to commemorate her Feast Day for the first time on Sunday 23rd August. You are warmly invited to participate in the Mass at 10am. We will have a special morning tea in the Parish Hall afterwards. (Please be reminded that we must still maintain 1.5 metres physical distance between people from different households.) Because of this event, we would like to remind you that we will not have the Spanish Mass at 12pm. However, you can still come to the 5pm Mass that will be taking place as usual. #stmarystarofthesea #catholic #catholicchurch #feastday #cottesloe #mosmanpark #faith #love #peace #jesuschrist #god #holyspirit #morningtea

23.01.2022 Being a dad is a vocation. A dad guides his children. He takes responsibility for them. He is both teacher and caregiver. He is firm but loving. He is a playmate and a companion. He is there in times of great need. A dad is a bit of Gods presence in our lives.... On this day, we pray for all those who have embraced the vocation of being a dad. May God, our Father in Heaven, bless all the fathers of the earth. And may Saint Joseph, husband of Mary and adoptive father of Jesus, care for all dads and inspire them. To those who are dads dads who are present, dads who are no longer with us, father figures, adoptive dads, dads who have lost children, those who have lost their dad, dads who have to be both mum and dad we wish you a HAPPY FATHERS DAY! #father #fathersday #stmarystarofthesea #catholic #catholicchurch #cottesloe #mosmanpark #faith #love #peace #jesuschrist #god #holyspirit #churchcelebration #celebration #godblessus

21.01.2022 Catholic Missions 2020 Lisieux Retreat Please see the flyer for information on the retreat. . .... . . . Some background to the retreat: St Zelie and St Louis were the parents of St Therese of Lisieux. The relics of this family of saints were here in Australia earlier this year during the height of our fears over the COVID-19 pandemic (https://www.catholicmission.org.au//st-th%C3%A9r%C3%A8se-o). That we have managed as a nation to avoid the worst of this pandemic, when compared to what has happened and continues to happen in other countries, is worth our gratitude. The story of St Zelie, St Louis and St Therese's struggles is not unfamiliar to ordinary families everywhere, who struggle through chronic illness, grief and mental illness during these dark and uncertain times. We can draw inspiration and strength from this family of saints by offering everything up in trust to a loving and merciful God.

21.01.2022 Today is a special day in our Parish. Fr. Marcelo is celebrating his birthday... as well as his first anniversary as Parish Priest! He has touched so many hearts and been an inspiration to our community. ... May God continue to bless you with His peace and joy for another year of faithful service in Christ. #stmarystarofthesea #catholic #catholicchurch #cottesloe #mosmanpark #faith #love #peace #jesuschrist #god #holyspirit #churchcelebration

19.01.2022 Lovely singing by the children of the Parish!

18.01.2022 Today is the solemnity of the Assumption of our Lady, whereby the Blessed Virgin, having completed the course of her earthly life, was assumed body and soul, into heavenly glory. (Pius XII) It is one of the two holy days of obligation in Australia, the other being Christmas Day. The image in this post can also be seen on the wall of our Parish Centre.

16.01.2022 On the 11 November 2020 Fr Rodrigo went to Mosman Park War Memorial for a special ceremony where he gave a blessing for the Remembrance Day Service. They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning... We will remember them. Lest we forget. #remembranceday #mosmanpark #lestweforget2020

13.01.2022 Welcoming Mass 06/09/2020 Only the human being is capable of transforming a gesture into a rite and an object into a symbol. The Catholic Church's Baptism Ritual celebrates this sacrament with words, rites and symbols, dense with meaning, because they find their reason in the Paschal Mystery and integrate us in. It is the Paschal Mystery that qualifies and gives meaning and life to the celebratory Ritual of Baptism. This is the reference which symbolizes the love of God in ...the heart of everyone. We invite your family to bring your child who was recently baptized to our Welcoming Mass on Sunday 6th of September. Join us for a morning tea in the Parish Hall afterwards. Your presence is important for the continuity of the spiritual life and the love of God in your children. At the Welcoming Mass, the congregation comes together with the families to make a commitment to the children of the parish. #welcomingmass #stmarystarofthesea #catholic #catholicchurch #cottesloe #mosmanpark #faith #love #peace #jesuschrist #god #holyspirit #morningtea #churchcelebration

12.01.2022 Pope Francis, in his prayer intention for the month of August 2020, asks everyone to pray for those "who work and live from the sea, among them sailors, fishermen, and their families". Amen.

11.01.2022 People become involved in a community of love and commitment through volunteering. Last Friday 13 November, Fr Marcelo and Fr Rodrigo thanked our volunteers for their hard work and dedication over the year with a lovely dinner at the Parish Hall. The dinner was a successful night with delicious food and beverages that everyone enjoyed. Also, we had music that made the celebration even more special. ... As always our church volunteers filled the night with beautiful memories and good spirit. May God bless us all!

10.01.2022 St Gregory ( c. 540 604), commonly known as Saint Gregory the Great, was the bishop of Rome from 3 September 590 to his death. He is known for initiating the first recorded large-scale mission from Rome, the Gregorian Mission, to convert the Anglo-Saxons in England to Christianity. Gregory is also known for his writings, which were more prolific than those of any of his predecessors as Pope. After his death, he was canonized immediately by popular acclaim. He is the patron... saint of musicians, singers, students, and teachers. #stgregory #stgregorythegreat #stmarystarofthesea #catholic #catholicchurch #cottesloe #mosmanpark #faith #love #peace #jesuschrist #god

10.01.2022 This week we celebrated 3 Feast Days! 10 November - Pope St Leo the Great (c. 400 461), was born in Etruria and became Pope in 440. He constantly strove to keep the faith whole and strenuously defended the unity of the Church. As Pope, he famously persuaded Attila the Hun not to march on Rome in 452, and prevented the invading Vandals from massacring the population in 455. Leo left many doctrinal and spiritual writings behind and a number of them are included in the Office of... Readings to this day. He died in 461. 11 November - St Martin of Tours (c.316 - 397), was born in the Roman province of Pannonia m and was educated at Pavia in Italy. He was baptized, left the army and after spending some time as a hermit on an island off the Ligurian coast, founded a monastery at Ligugé in western France, where he lived a monastic life guided by St Hilary. Later he was ordained priest and became bishop of Tours. In his actions he gave an example of what a good shepherd should be. 12 November - Saint Josaphat (c.1580 - 1623), was born in the Ukraine of Orthodox parents.Josaphat joined the first monastery of the order of St Basil to be united to the Catholic Church: he was the first person to do so. He was ordained priest and, eventually and reluctantly, appointed bishop of Polotsk in 1617. Although Sigismund III Vasa, King of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania, supported the union, the local aristocracy were against it because it threatened their control of ecclesiastical benefices. Plotting with the Orthodox Patriarch of Jerusalem, who visited the Ukraine in 1621, they stirred up trouble and as a result Josaphat was murdered by a mob in 1623. Saints of the week, pray for us! #saints #popestleothegreat #stmartinoftours #stjosaphat #stmarystarofthesea #catholic #catholicchurch #cottesloe #mosmanpark #faith #love #peace #jesuschrist #god #holyspirit

09.01.2022 St Mary of the Cross Mary Helen MacKillop (15 January 1842 8 August 1909) was an Australian nun who has been declared a saint by the Catholic Church, as St Mary of the Cross. She was born in Melbourne but is best known for her activities in South Australia. Together with the Reverend Julian Tenison-Woods, she founded the Sisters of St Joseph of the Sacred Heart (the Josephites), a congregation of religious sisters that established a number of schools and w...elfare institutions throughout Australia and New Zealand, with an emphasis on education for the rural poor. The process to have MacKillop declared a saint began in the 1920s, and she was beatified in January 1995 by Pope John Paul II. #stmaryofthecross #marymackillop #stariftheseacatholicchurch #catholic #australiansfirstst #cottesloe #mosmanpark #faith #love #peace #jesuschrist #god #holyspirit

09.01.2022 Nativity of Virgin Mary Today we celebrate the birth of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The traditional fixed date is nine months after the December 8 celebration of her Immaculate Conception as the child of Saints Joachim and Anne.... According to this account, Anna and Joachim are infertile but pray for a child. They receive the promise of a child who will advance Gods plan of salvation for the world. Such a story, like many biblical counterparts, stresses the special presence of God in Marys life from the beginning. Our Lady, pray for us! #nativityoftheblessedvirginmary #stmarystarofthesea #catholic #catholicchurch #cottesloe #mosmanpark #faith #love #peace #jesuschrist #god #holyspirit

08.01.2022 We had a lovely celebration last Saturday at Star of the Sea Church. The children received the Sacrament of Confirmation, with Fr Vincent, Fr Marcelo and Fr Rodrigo as concelebrants of the Mass. May the Holy Spirit dwell in their hearts always and keep them strong and in the faith.

06.01.2022 Good morning Parishioners, Today we want to share with you Pope Francis' prayer intention for September, which is about respect for the planets resources. We pray that we take care of Creation responsibly. Watch his video message in the link below: ... https://www.vaticannews.va//pope-francis-video-prayer-inte Have a great day, and let's make sure we are doing our best to preserve the planet's resources for our families and community's future. God bless.

06.01.2022 Fr Liam Ryan helped to save the life of a Western Australian surfer who was attacked by a great white shark. Fr Liam is the Assistant Parish Priest at St Brigid's Church. We thank God for the safety of all involved in this incident.

04.01.2022 The 106th World Day of Migrants and Refugees (WDMR) in Australia will be celebrated on Sunday, September 27, 2020. Pope Francis has selected Forced like Jesus Christ to flee as the theme for this year. The Holy Fathers reflections originate in the experience of Jesus Christ and his parents as displaced persons and refugees. Lord, no one is a stranger to you and no one is far from your loving care. We pray that you watch over migrants, refugees, asylum seekers and displac...ed persons. Bring them safely to a place where they long to be, and help us to show kindness to those in need. #worlddayofmigrantsandrefugees #stmarystarofthesea #catholic #catholicchurch #cottesloe #mosmanpark #faith #love #peace #jesuschrist #god #holyspirit

03.01.2022 Morning Tea on Sun 23 Aug 2020 #stmarystarofthesea #catholic #catholicchurch #cottesloe #mosmanpark #faith #love #peace #jesuschrist #god #holyspirit #morningtea #churchcelebration

03.01.2022 Todays Gospel MT 18,1-5, 10, 12-14 The disciples approached Jesus and said, Who is the greatest in the Kingdom of heaven?... He called a child over, placed it in their midst, and said, Amen, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will not enter the Kingdom of heaven. Whoever becomes humble like this child is the greatest in the Kingdom of heaven. And whoever receives one child such as this in my name receives me. See that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that their angels in heaven always look upon the face of my heavenly Father. What is your opinion? If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them goes astray, will he not leave the ninety-nine in the hills and go in search of the stray? And if he finds it, amen, I say to you, he rejoices more over it than over the ninety-nine that did not stray. In just the same way, it is not the will of your heavenly Father that one of these little ones be lost." #stmarystarofthesea #catholic #catholicchurch #cottesloe #mosmanpark #faith #love #peace #jesuschrist #god #holyspirit #gospel #biblereading

03.01.2022 The Exaltation of the Holy Cross Yesterday was the Feast day of The Exaltation of the Holy Cross. On this day we celebrate the Cross as a source of holiness, an instrument of salvation and a symbol of Jesus' victory over sin and death; on the Cross, we find the greatest sign of God's love.... As for us, we proclaim the crucified Christ, a message that is offensive to the Jews and nonsense to the Gentiles; but for those whom God has called, both Jews and Gentiles, this message is Christ, who is the power of God and the wisdom of God.(I Cor 1,23-24) This feast day is linked to some important events in history: the finding of the True Cross by Saint Helena, and the dedication of two basilicas built by Constantine - one on Mount Golgotha and the other on the site of Jesus burial and resurrection. Let's pray together: Oh Lord Almighty! You have suffered death at the cross for our sins. Oh Holy Cross of Jesus! be my true light. Oh Holy Cross of Jesus! fill my soul with good thoughts. Oh Holy Cross! help me in my salvation. Oh Holy Cross! safeguard me against unholy thoughts and worldly dangers that I may worship the Holy Cross of Jesus of Nazareth crucified. Have pity on me. Oh Holy Cross of Jesus! be my hope. Oh Holy Cross have mercy on me forever and ever. In honor of the Precious Blood of Jesus and His fearful Death and Resurrection and His Glorification which leads to everlasting life. As true as Jesus is born on Christmas and crucified on Good Friday. As true as St. Joseph and Nicodemus took Jesus down from the cross. As true as Jesus ascended into heaven. May He preserve me from my enemies both visible and invisible forever and ever. Lord Almighty, into Your hands I give my soul and my body. Oh Lord Jesus! grant me strength to bear the cross as Yourself. Teach me to bear it with great humility that the Blessed Virgin may fill me with the Holy Spirit. Preserve my soul and lead it to life everlasting. Amen.

02.01.2022 Today is the feast day of St Clare of Assisi, an Italian saint who was born on 16 July 1194 and died on 11 August 1253. She was one of the first followers of Francis of Assisi. She founded the Order of Poor Ladies, a monastic religious order for women in the Franciscan tradition, and wrote their Rule of Life, the first set of monastic guidelines known to have been written by a woman. Following her death, the order she founded was renamed in her honour as the Order of Saint C...lare, commonly referred to today as the Poor Clares. St Clare was canonized on 26 September 1255 by Pope Alexander IV. Some interesting facts: In art, Clare is often shown carrying a monstrance in commemoration of the occasion when she warded away the invading soldiers of Frederick II at the gates of her convent by displaying the Blessed Sacrament and kneeling in prayer. Pope Pius XII designated Clare as the patron saint of television in 1958 because when she was too ill to attend Mass, she had reportedly been able to see and hear it on the wall of her room. There are traditions of bringing offerings of eggs to the Poor Clares for their intercessions for good weather, particularly for weddings. This happens because the name Clare means egg white in Italian. #stmarystarofthesea #catholic #catholicchurch #cottesloe #mosmanpark #faith #love #peace #jesuschrist #god #holyspirit #stclareofassisi

02.01.2022 The feast day of Our Lady of Sorrows is commemorated on 15 of September, one day after the feast of the Holy Cross to show the close connection between Jesus' Passion and Mary's Sorrows. The seven sorrows of Mary, which were foretold by the Priest Simeon, consist of this intense suffering and grief during the Passion and death of our Lord. They are: 1. The prophecy of Simeon. (St. Luke 2:34, 35)... 2. The flight into Egypt. (St. Matthew 2:13, 14) 3. The loss of the Child Jesus in the temple. (St. Luke 2: 43-45) 4. The meeting of Jesus and Mary on the Way of the Cross. 5. The Crucifixion. 6. The taking down of the Body of Jesus from the Cross. 7. The burial of Jesus. May our lady bless us. #ourladyofsorrows #sevensorrowsofmary #feastday #stmarystarofthesea #catholic #catholicchurch #cottesloe #mosmanpark #faith #love #peace #jesuschrist #god #holyspirit
