25.01.2022 A great way to prepare for Christmas

24.01.2022 The Catholic Bishops of Victoria have written to Premier Daniel Andrews raising concerns of unfairness in COVID restrictions to people of faith: "In the most si...mple of measures, the current restrictions in regional Victoria literally fail the ‘pub test’: if people of faith can gather in a restaurant or bar catering for a particular number of patrons (and remove their face covering), they ought to be able to put on their mask, cross the road and worship in their faith community with the same numbers, provided equivalent COVID-safe practices are in place. We ask that this disparity be rectified urgently and that the principle of fairness be applied for each subsequent step on the roadmap to reopening." Read more here: bit.ly/LettertoPremier250920

19.01.2022 St Mary’s Church needs a little love after being empty for so long. Could you lend a hand preparing our church for our weekend Masses? 9.30am Wednesday- some dusting tools could be useful!

17.01.2022 Such amazing talent! Congratulations to all

16.01.2022 The Living Justice Portrait Project will be a wonderful way for St. Joseph’s College to share the charism of Brigid, Daniel and Nano and how they inform our pri...nciples for a more just world. The project has developed in more ways than just the culmination of three amazing pieces of artwork. We have watched an inspirational artist to artist relationship develop over recent months. Alisha and Troy are collaborating, consulting and sharing stories as these artworks develop and transform into what will be treasured artworks for generations to come. The artworks will be unveiled in February of 2021 at our Opening School Mass. Here is a sneak peak of the work as it is unfolding before our eyes....

16.01.2022 Today’s reading is the Good Samaritan, such a familiar story. But today I read it through the eyes of the innkeeper. Imagining him being surprised by this act of kindness. Did he accept the denarri or say he could cover the costs following the Samaritan’s example? Surely he would have felt wrong about charging the Samaritan any more when he called back in. And then he is tasked with being the carer, he is in hospitality surely that would come naturally... The Samaritan’s kin...dness is contagious, reminding us of the kindness shown these past months. Let’s pray that we can keep that pandemic going.

14.01.2022 Wishing everyone a great term!!

12.01.2022 The wind challenged us as did the reception, but the elements remind us of the wonder and awe of Creation! Thank you to Carriages Winery for hosting us.

11.01.2022 A warning for the seniors in the Echuca area. There are some low lives ringing elderly people and telling them that they are from Telstra and it is their job to... update modems for telephones. They say all the right things and are very convincing with job numbers etc. They then tell you that you need to pay up front with gift cards from the supermarket. The guy who called Mum claimed his name was Victor, there were two of them on the pretence that one was from a higher department. Even if the person who has been targeted can recognise the scam they are intimidated and fearful. The police say call Telstra. Telstra say call the police or the Unwelcome Call Team who are not operating because of Covid. But any unsolicited calls from Telstra are most likely to be bogus. Please warn the seniors in your life..

01.01.2022 READ: An Open Letter by the Catholic Bishops of Victoria addressed to the State Premier on the continuing restrictions on religious gatherings. We ask that thi...s disparity be rectified urgently and that the principle of fairness be applied for each subsequent step on the roadmap to reopening. Catholic communities have shown their commitment to acting responsibly and cooperatively throughout the pandemic, and they will be greatly encouraged in this if they can see that people of faith are being given the same consideration as other sectors of the community.
