Fifth Sunday of Lent 12th / 13th March 2016

Vol. 34 No. 14

Paul and Sonia Tanham are

celebrating their 60th wedding

anniversary on the 19th August.

They came to the Holy Rosary

Parish in 1966 with four children

and two more children were born

while they lived in Woodlands. All

of their six children and seven of

their grandchildren have been

educated in Holy Rosary school,

Siena, Marist Brothers and now

Newman College. Paul and Sonia

have been part of the Holy Rosary

Parish for the past 48 years and

they have seen many changes over

the years including the building of

the church. They look forward to

many more years at the church

and in the area.

Is there a parent who hasn’t had to find an answer for the child who asks, “Are we nearly there yet?” It’s a question we might well be asking ourselves at this stage of our Lenten journey. Perhaps its time to recall the words of the first preface for Lent, as it used to be prayed: “Each year you give us this joyful season when we prepare to celebrate the paschal mystery with mind and heart renewed.”

Yes, it’s a joyful season, a time of renewal. It’s a gift, a grace. We don’t journey alone – we have the companionship of the whole Church along the way. For the whole community of faith Lent is a fresh opportunity to be set free, to discover what our deepest desire really is.

We can thank Richard de Wych, 13th century Bishop of Chichester, for taking us to the heart of Lent with his prayer (incorporated in a song from the modern musical Godspell): “to see thee more clearly, love thee more dearly, and follow thee more nearly”. A pilgrim’s hope indeed that we might all pray, day by day, on our way through Lent. ______________________________________________________

Annual Chrism Mass Invitation from Archbishop Timothy

“I invite you to attend the Chrism Mass which I will concelebrate with

the Priests of the Archdiocese of Perth at St Mary’s Cathedral

on Tuesday 22 March at 7.00pm During this Mass the Holy Oils will be

blessed and the Oil of Chrism consecrated. The Priests will also renew their

Ordination commitment. The Laity are invited to renew their commitment to holiness of life and to

service of the Church and society.” Most Reverend T Costelloe SDB

Archbishop of Perth

WORLD DAY OF PRAYER

The sun streaming in through the beautiful

stained glass windows of St. Paul’s Anglican

Church in City Beach was a very welcoming

atmosphere for all who attended this service.

Sue Farrell from St Paul’s led the service and

welcomed everyone to World Day of Prayer

(WDP).

Our Lady of the Rosary was well represented

and two of our parishioners participated as well.

Dorothy led the procession into the church by

carrying the Bible and in the prayer she told of

how she as a grandmother in Cuba used the

Bible to bring the Word of God and pass it on to

her children and grandchildren.

Also in the procession was a Mother bringing a

bowl of provisions, a young woman carrying a

candle, and three girls – one brought a pair of

maracas that bring joy and rhythm to the

community, one a plant of sugar cane, and the

other told us how she likes to come to church to

feel happy and sing.

The ‘Call to Worship’ was led by Lydia from

Our Lady of the Rosary following which we had

the Prayer of Confession and the Assurance of

Forgiveness. After a hymn we had Gospel

readings followed by the invited speaker,

Dr. Judith Woodward, a Retired History lecturer

from UWA who had visited Cuba and worked

there as a volunteer. In an interesting talk

Judith shared some of her experiences and gave

us an insight into the country and the people of

Cuba.

An offering was taken up to support the Bible

Society Project in Cuba called ‘Building

Healthy Relationships’ within the family with

God’s Word and stem the growing rate of

violence in the country. $597.05 was the

generous amount collected.

Following the final Prayer of Thanksgiving

Lorraine Allen, from the Holy Spirit Catholic

Church in City Beach, was commissioned to

coordinate the WDP service for 2017 when we

pray for the people of the Philippines.

The Service ended with a delicious morning tea

catered for by the ladies of St. Paul’s Anglican

Church.

Please mark Friday 3 March 2017 in your diary

and join us at 2017 World Day of Prayer.”

Sreymom’s story :

Learning more, helping many

‘Everyone…should be able to make a personal

contribution to putting an end to so many

injustices’ Pope Francis.

Sreymom, now 26, lives in the remote

Mondulkiri province of Northeast Cambodia,

where extreme poverty has led to many health

issues for the region’s indigenous population.

When she started work at the local Health

Centre, Sreymom was eager to use her three

years of midwife training to help care for

indigenous mothers and children in the

surrounding villages. But soon she realised

she lacked the practical experience she needed

to safely assist in childbirth. “When I had to

assist a delivery,” Sreymom recalls, “my body

and knees were trembling. I was sweating and

losing confidence.”

Seeing Sreymom’s difficulties – and her true

potential – a local healthcare worker helped

Sreymom to enrol in the Mondulkiri

Community Health Program. Established by

Caritas Cambodia and supported by Caritas

Australia, the program empowers and trains

local health centre staff in pre- and post-natal

care, safe delivery practices and children’s

health.

The course not only improved Sreymom’s

skills as a midwife, but also gave her

information on broader health issues, which

she could take back to the indigenous women

in her community.

These days, Sreymom delivers one or two

babies each month and is trusted by the

indigenous community. “If we did not have

the program, more pregnant women would

face death,” Sreymom says. “I hope

Australian people will support my

communities more in building awareness in

healthcare, hygiene, nutrition and sanitation.”

Please donate to Project Compassion 2016

and help healthcare workers in isolated areas

of Cambodia gain vital training to improve

the health and wellbeing of the region’s

indigenous women and children.
