VINNIES COLLECTION BIN St. Vincent de Paul thanks this parish for good the good quality clothing and shoes that are donated. It costs Vinnies thousands of dollars each year to dispose of scrappy clothing placed in their collection bins. If the bin is full, please bring it at another time or take it directly to a Vinnies shop. (Parish staff have to move the bin and any overflow outside ready for collection.)
RECYCLING Recycle your empty drink bottles and help the Knights of the Southern Cross.
You can recycle your empty water/soft drink bottles (without the lids) in the purple bin under Father’s car port. Money raised will help with the works of the Knights of the Southern Cross.

National Vocations Awareness Week Today is the feast of St John Vianney, the patron saint of priests. Today might be a good opportunity to pray for your priests today in thanksgiving for their ministry and presence in your community. Next Thursday is the feast of St Mary of the Cross McKillop, our first Australia saint. Pray for the religious who do so much in pastoral care, education, health care and many other ministries. Pray also that these saints may inspire many vocations to consecrated life and priesthood, especially from our families and parishes.

Patron Saint of Bolivia OUR LADY OF COPACABANA
(Patroness)
Feast Day celebrated on either
August 5th or February 2nd
Among the passengers of a ship lost in a storm near Rio de Janeiro, were some Brazilian pilgrims returning from a visit to the shrine of the Virgin of Copacabana in Bolivia. They called upon the Virgin to intercede for them, and, they were landed safely on the Brazilian shores. In token of gratitude, they called the spot Copacabana – and it has since become one of the world’s favourite resorts. Sources: Australian Catholic Migrant and Refugee Office and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virgen_de_Copacabana
Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight. Extend to them all the care, kindness and understanding you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again. Og Mandino Read more at https://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/

Make us know the shortness of our life that we may gain wisdom of heart. Lord, relent! Is your anger for ever? Show pity on your servants. R: In the morning, fill us with your love; we shall exult and rejoice all our days. Let the favour of the Lord be upon us: give success to the work of our hands.

July 29th:The Lord gives each of us a vocation, a challenge to discover the talents and abilities we possess and to put them at the service of others. August 1st: As a young soldier, St Ignatius of Loyola, whom we remember today, thought of his own glory. But then he was attracted by the glory of God, which gave meaning to his life.

From the desk of Fr. Roy: WHY SHOULD I GO FOR HOLY MASS?
Part 3 The Command of the Church.
The Church teaches that we must fulfil the command of
Jesus ("Do this in memory of me") by attending Sunday
Mass (or the Vigil Mass the night before). The
Catechism of the Catholic Church (1994, pp. 493-94) explains that Mass attendance on Sundays and Holy
Days of Obligation is the first of the six
Commandments of the Church. These Commandments
of the Church also require receiving Communion at
least once a year during the Easter season, confessing
any mortal sin as a preparation for Communion, and observing the prescribed days of fasting and abstinence.
These Commandments spell out the minimal
responsibilities of a Catholic. To fail to fulfil them
through our own fault, the Church teaches, is a serious
sin.
The Church speaks with the authority of Jesus.
Why should we obey these teachings of the Church?
Where does the Church get its authority? From Jesus.
In Matthew 16:18-19, Jesus made Peter the head of his Church — the first Pope. He gave Peter and the Church
"the keys to the kingdom of heaven":
I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will
build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail
against it. I will give you the keys to the kingdom of
heaven. Whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall be
loosed in heaven.
The Church's authority in faith and morals is absolute
because Christ's authority is absolute.
