TRANSCRIPT
Dear Parishioners, Happy Mother's Day to all our mothers. In today’s Mass we pray for all our mothers who are still with us and also pray for mothers who have died, we pray for their eternal rest and peace for their goodness to us. Deacon Brendan Gormley who was a Deacon in our Parish for about seven weeks in 2017 is being ordained a Priest on Friday 31
st May. The ordination will take
place in our Cathedral of St Stephen at 7.00 pm. Everyone in the Parish is invited to attend the ordination and pray for Deacon Brendan. With Deacon Brendan there will also be another man ordained, Deacon Josh Woodhead. We can be grateful to God for the ordination of two men this year. A few date claimers for activities in our Parish are:
Multicultural Mass - Sunday 30th
June at 10.30am
New Parishioners Get Together - Friday 12th July at 6.00pm
Marriage Anniversary Mass - Friday 11th

This weekend at the 6.00pm Sunday evening Mass, a group of our young people will be welcomed into the Catholic Church as they begin their journey in the RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation). Please pray for the young people on their spiritual journey. Please remember also in your prayers the families whose children have begun preparing to celebrate Confirmation and First Eucharist in the next couple of months. With their parents they had the first faith sharing session during the past week. Last Sunday we had our Name Tag Sunday. We will continue to have a Name Tag Sunday on the first weekend of each month. As an initiative of the Parish Pastoral Council, we are encouraging everyone in the Parish to get to know each other better. Having a Parish name tag is a simple way of knowing each other's name. You can still order a Parish name tag by filling in the envelope on the table at the front of the Church. In two weeks' time on the weekend of the 25
th and 26
th May we will have our annual
Mission Appeal. This will enable us to assist in the support of so many people throughout the world who are in need. All the women of our Parish are invited to come together Sunday 26
th May at 2.00pm.
All the details are on page 3 of the Newsletter.
Happy Mothers Day to all our mothers!
God Bless, Fr Dan Ryan

Next Sunday: Fifth Sunday of Easter: Acts 14: 21-27; Apoc 21: 1-5; John 132: 31-35
Fourth Sunday of Easter: Year C
First Reading: Acts 1: 14, 43-52 This reading records for us the growing realization in the early church that the message of the resurrection was for all humanity, and indeed all creation. It is closed to no one.
Second Reading: Apocalypse 7: 9, 14-17 Our text from the Book of Revelation brings out three of the foundational resurrection themes. The church is for all races, peoples and languages. Following Christ does mean facing distress and even death. However the risen Jesus is at the centre of all creation, and the source of care and protection.
Gospel: John 10: 27-30 The care and protection that Christ offers is life within the triune love of God.
‘GAUDETE ET EXSULTATE’ Rejoice and Exult
Your Mission in Christ
23. This is a powerful summons to all of us. You too need to see the entirely of your life as a mission. Try to do so by listening to God in prayer and recognising the signs that he gives you. Always ask the Spirit what Jesus expects from you at every moment of your life and in every decision you must make, so as to discern its place in the mission you have received. Allow the Spirit to forge in you the personal mystery that can reflect Jesus Christ in today’s world.
24. May you come to realise what that word is, the message of Jesus that God wants to speak to the world by your life. Let yourself be transformed. Let yourself be renewed by the Spirit, so that this can happen, lest you fail in your precious mission. The Lord will bring it to fulfilment despite your mistakes and missteps, provided that you do not abandon the path of love but remain ever open to his supernatural grace, which purifies and enlightens.

SUNNYBANK SOCIAL JUSTICE COMMUNITY MAKE SURE YOUR VOTE COUNTS
The Bishop of Parramatta, Bishop Vincent Long has given us a guide when we cast our vote next weekend. He asks us to think about: A commitment to the family as the central building block of the common good and society; Just and equitable funding for Catholic education which contributes so much to our Australian society; The development of a sustainable economy that recognises the right to work and the necessity of a just economy as outlined in the
ACBC 2017-2018 statement Everyone’s Business – Developing an inclusive and sustainable economy; Active engagement and promotion of peace within and between societies. The use of non-violence as an essential mechanism to
solve disputes and as the agent of social change. Ensuring that no one is discriminated on the basis of race, gender, religion and that proper freedoms are legislated to guarantee that
people are free to speak, teach and act according to their own religious beliefs, in line with the encyclicals of Pope Saint John XXIII Pacem in terris and Mater et magistra and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (Article 18);
A commitment to supporting the disadvantaged, the dispossessed, the oppressed beyond our borders, especially those in our region. This includes increasing overseas aid and helping West Papuan refugees.
‘I encourage all Catholics to contribute to the common good. May the Holy Spirit guide us as we all work towards building a loving society where the poor and the suffering are our first priority.’
