24.01.2022 A message from His Grace Archbishop Timothy Costelloe ************************** Today, Wednesday 18 March 2020, the Prime Minister has expressly communicated a ban on non-essential gatherings of persons of one hundred or greater in indoor areas. The governments existing ban on non-essential outdoor gatherings of five hundred persons or greater, which came into effect on Monday 16 March 2020, remains in effect. I commit the Archdiocese of Perth to the support of, and compl...iance with, both of these government directives and the associated and instructive public health advice. The Western Australian and Federal Governments continue to issue ongoing public health advice in relation to COVID19. The Archdiocese of Perth continues to be guided by this advice through our ongoing commitment to monitoring any threat posed by COVID19 to Catholic communities across our Archdiocese. I write to share with you a revised and expanded series of directives which come into effect today, Wednesday 18 March 2020. These directives are in addition to the previously issued directives to the Archdiocese of Perth of Wednesday 4 March 2020 and Monday 16 March 2020. The website of the Archdiocese of Perth has a dedicated COVID-19 web page on which all statements from the Archdiocese of Perth can be found. You can access this information on the Archdiocesan website via www.perthcatholic.org.au I assure you of my continued prayers and practical support as together we as an Archdiocese seek to continue to witness and proclaim our Christ-centred hope within a global context that is collectively seeking to respond to the uncertainty and reality of COVID-19. http://bit.ly/2ISWvIA

23.01.2022 *MODIFIED MASS SERVICES TO RESUME* It is with prayerful anticipation that we look forward to a small move back to ‘normality’, with the resumption of Mass services, albeit in a modified and reduced capacity. With modified Mass services having resumed, the Parish of SJPII are grateful for the efforts of all involved to assist in our Mass services and extend our thanks for those whohave come along to celebrate Mass and pray for our community.... We especially thank Fr Vinh and Fr Chinh for their efforts in ministering to our Parish. To accommodate for as many parishioners as possible, Fr Vinh, along with the support of Fr Chinh, will hold Mass services twice a day with an additional Communion service to be held on Sunday morning. Parishioners are requested to nominate a day and time to attend Mass and ‘book’ in by adding their name, phone number and address to the booking form, each Sunday, for the week ahead. This is to include each family member that will be in attendance, including children. Parishioners are also requested to only select one time slot per week, to allow for as many faithful to attend Mass as possible. Please follow the signs and social distancing requirements. The following Mass times will be held until further notice: Monday to Friday: 6.00pm and 6.30pm; Saturday: 5.00pm and 6.00pm; Sunday: 8.30am and 9.30am; Distribution of Communion from 10.30am to 11.00am. When you attend Mass, please ensure that your name is checked off on the booking list. Additionally, parishioner chairs are not to be moved, regardless of whether you are a family group or not, as these will be correctly spaced to meet required guidelines. If further clarification is needed please email or message Fr Vinh, Sr Duyen or Sr Tuyen. At this time, while we hope to provide services to as many as possible, the faithful continue to be dispensed of their obligation to attend Sunday Mass.

10.01.2022 Feast of Saint Monica Today we honour a saintly woman called to that most important Christian vocation of motherhood. St Monica was born into a Christian family toward the beginning of the fourth century in North Africa. Not much is known of her childhood or young adult life, but she eventually married Patricius, to whom she bore 4 children, the eldest of whom was St Augustine, whose feast is celebrated tomorrow.... St Augustine lived a very wayward life as a young adult, giving himself up to all sorts of youthful exuberances, even fathering a child himself out of wedlock. In so many ways he fell into a life of excess, impurity, and even embraced a false religion of the Eastern Roman Empire. Yet St Monica, like every good mother, never gave up on her son. She kept praying for his conversion, shedding so many tears. One day she met St Ambrose, to whom she explained the situation of her son. He then told her the words which have since become famous. "The child of those tears shall never perish." These prophetic words came true 17 years later, when St Augustine embraced the Catholic faith, eventually becoming a priest and then a bishop. St Monica died less than a year after her sons conversion. Augustine recorded the words she spoke to him when she realised death was near. "Son, nothing in this world now affords me delight. I do not know what there is now left for me to do or why I am still here, all my hopes in this world being now fulfilled." What an incredible example for us of patience, and how efficacious our prayers and tears are when we perservere. St Augustines conversion didnt happen overnight. It wasnt the result of just one or two prayers, or even a novena of rosaries, but 17 years of persistent prayer and tears which won her sons conversion. Now, he is one of the greatest doctors of our Church. We too should have the same conviction in our prayer. No one is beyond redemption, and our Lord invites us to persevere constantly in our prayers, and even to shed tears, for those who need the grace of conversion. Today in a particular way, let us entrust our family and friends who are in need of conversion to the prayers of St Monica. St Monica, pray for us!

Parishioners are welcome to come around any time on Sunday and pick up a palm. Also, if you have a small, empty bottle that has been washed clean and labelled with your family name, please leave it at the presbytery. On Easter Sunday I will bless the water and then families will be able to collect their bottle and use this to bless themselves. St John Paul II pray for us. Fr Vinh Dong
