Listen to Fr Robert Barron’s homily on Taking Spiritual Responsibility here:

And the quote for the day is from Blaise Pascal:

There are only two kinds of men: the righteous who think they are sinners, and the sinners who think they are righteous.

Don’t forget that Fr Augustine will be away from the 28th September to 11th October, so there won’t be any weekday Masses.

Fr Augustine would also like someone from Yanchep / Two Rocks to volunteer to be our Lifelink Representative.  Any takers?

Fr Augustine will be away visiting relatives in Melbourne from 28 September to 11 October so during that time there will be no weekday Masses.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for Mass yesterday when Fr Christian Irdi concelebrated with Fr Augustine.  And special thanks to all who provided food and cleaned up afterwards!  We all enjoyed Fr Christian’s homily on the Exaltation of the Holy Cross, which we later discovered was impromptu (!) (as he had prepared for different readings).  We never would have noticed as it sounded so well researched!  As you can see from the photos, we all enjoyed ourselves immensely and really appreciated Gus, Anelia and Alessia joining us, as well as a few visitors.  We wish Fr Christian all the best as he now goes to Rome to complete postgraduate studies in Fundamental Theology prior to returning to Perth as a Diocesan Priest.

14 September | The Exaltation of the Cross

Just a reminder to all to bring a plate for supper after Mass tonight, as we have newly ordained Fr Christian Irdi visiting!  You can read Fr Christian’s account of his calling to the priesthood here.  Today is doubly a feast because it’s also the Exaltation of the Cross.

Thank you to those who took the trouble to attend the Atlantis Beach development meeting last Monday to find out about possibilities for a church and Catholic school in the area.  We’ll be giving you feedback on this soon!
