Parish Council
Our Mission
Our Mission is to continue growing as a community where people can meet Jesus Christ and grow in his life and mission in the Catholic Faith.
The spirituality our parish mission is expressed best in the parish prayer of St Therese of Avila.
Christ has no body on earth but yours;
no hands but yours;
no feet but yours.
Yours are the eyes through which he is to look out-
Christ's compassion to the world.
Yours are the feet with which he is to go about doing good.
Yours are the hands with which he is to bless others now.

REFLECTION FOR THIS WEEK
The Second Reading
Starting last Sunday and for the next few Sundays, for the Second Reading, we hear from St Paul’s Letter to the Philippians. Who were these people? And what is their connection to Paul?
The letter was written to the Christians living in the Macedonian city of Philippi. Paul had probably visited them in his early mission around 50 AD, and the letter seems to be a few years later. These Christians had been quite responsive to and supportive of Paul, and he shows his affection for them as he urges them to greater unity among themselves, and to a deeper reliance on Christ’s saving power.
With this community he could share his feelings as he sat in chains, perhaps facing a death sentence (1:12-26). In Ch 3 he offers what is like a last will and testament, where he invites them to observe how Christ’s power has been at work in him, and that they might imitate this in their own lives.
Paul also invites them to imitate the total self-surrender of Christ himself (2:1-13). He uses a familiar ‘hymn’ that recalls Christi’s taking human likeness, his death and his exaltation by God (6-11). This text contains important beliefs about Christ held by the early Christians.
Paul challenges the Philippians to turn from self-centredness to a giving of themselves for others.
There is a strong spirit of hope and encouragement in the letter. He uses such words as joy, rejoice, be glad, and be cheered seventeen times, and reminds then that living in Christ doesn’t mean everything will always go wonderfully.
However it does mean that God can get you through the good times and the difficult times with joy.
