St Raphael's Church ST RAPHAEL’S PARISH 17 HARDY STREET, PRESTON WEST. VIC 3072 Tel: 9470 2586 Email: [email protected] Website: www.straphaelswestpreston.org.au Parish Priest: Rev Dr Simon Grainger Parish Secretary: Rachel Costa School Principal: Mr. Damian Howard, School Tel: 9478 8374 Sixteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time (Year B) Sunday 22 July 2018 My dear Brothers and Sisters, Jesus “took pity on them because they were like sheep without a shepherd, and he set himself to teach them at some length”, St Mark tells us in this Sunday’s Gospel reading (Mark 6:30-34). This Sunday’s readings remind us that we need to have the leadership of good shepherds, who will be able to guide and teach us, not least by their own example. I am very excited because Pope Francis has chosen a really good shepherd as our new archbishop, Bishop Peter Comensoli of Broken Bay Diocese. I have had the good fortune to meet Bishop Comensoli a number of times since he was appointed an Auxiliary Bishop of Sydney Archdiocese in 2011. I have always been impressed by him and I have witnessed his very fair and just handling of a particular problem when he was Apostolic Administrator of Sydney Archdiocese in 2014. We really are very fortunate to be gaining a dynamic and charismatic, young Archbishop who can be a Good Shepherd to us and for us, leading us confidently and with resounding hope into the future. Bishop Comensoli was born in1964 in the Wollongong region. His father, the late Michael Comensoli, was born in the Val Camonica region of northern Italy in 1924 and came to Australia as a child. St Gertrude/ Geltrude Comensoli, who was canonised by Pope Benedict XVI in 2009, was a relative of Bishop Comensoli. She was born in Bienno in Val Camonica in 1847, formed the Congregation of Sacramentine Sisters of Bergamo, and died in 1903. She is the Patron Saint of Youth. I feel sure that St Gertrude Comensoli will be interceding for our new Archbishop, that he truly be a good shepherd for our Catholic people of Melbourne. At our 10:30 am Mass this Sunday almost 40 children of our Parish will, with their parents, make their commitment promises as they begin their preparation to receive the Eucharist, the Body and Blood of Christ. Let us pray fervently for these children and their families, that receiving Jesus in the Eucharist will be a constant mainstay in their lives. As St Paul reminds us in this Sunday’s reading from the letter to the Ephesians (2:13-18): “Through (Jesus), both of us have in the one Spirit our way to come to the Father”. Following our 10:30am Mass this Sunday we will have the blessing and dedication of our new St Raphael Parish Garden. This garden project shows a commitment by our beloved St Raphael Catholic Parish to the children of this parish and their ongoing nurture and development as faithful Christians who live out Jesus’ great commandment to “Love God and our neighbour”. Let our parish, our school, our families and our children commit ourselves firmly to the ongoing growth of our Catholic faith in West Preston, a faith fed by Jesus through the Eucharist. With every prayer for God’s peace, grace and blessing be upon you, Fr Simon Grainger Pax et Gratia ST RAPHAEL’S PARISH MISSION STATEMENT PARISH OFFICE HOURS: The parish office is attended by “St Raphael’s Parish has always sought to be a welcoming and inclusive volunteer staff on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:30am to community. 5:00pm.You may contact the office at any time and leave a message Today, our Community strives to help each parishioner to enter into a deeper when the office is unattended on 9470 2586 and someone will get relationship with Jesus and with one another. back to you as soon as possible.

Uomo intraprendente, prete autentico, ha intrecciato sapientemente rischio e fede, amore per gli uomini e amore per Dio, austerità e tenerezza. Nasce a Verolanuova (Brescia) il 12 ottobre 1846. Conclusi gli studi elementari nel paese natale, frequenta il ginnasio a Lovere (Bergamo). Nel 1864 entra nel seminario di Brescia e nel 1870 è ordinato sacerdote. Dal 1871 al 1873 è nominato vicario-cooperatore a Lo- drino (Brescia), piccolo paese di montagna, e dal 1873 cappellano al santuario di Santa Maria della Noce, frazione di Brescia. Nel 1885 inizia il suo servizio a Botticino Sera (Brescia) come vicario-cooperatore; due anni dopo, è nominato Parroco e vi rimane fino al 1912, anno della sua morte. All’inizio del suo mandato, dal pulpito afferma con forza: «Starò con voi, vivrò con voi, morirò con voi». Gli anni vissuti a Botticino sono certamente i più fecondi della vita di don Tadini.

  • Saint Geltrude Comensoli
    Saint Geltrude Comensoli SAINT OF THE DAY 18-02-2021 The Eucharist was "Heaven on earth" to Saint Geltrude Comensoli (1847-1903), founder of the Institute of the Sacramentine Sisters which was consecrated to the perpetual adoration of the Blessed Sacrament and born from her love for Christ. Worshipping God in the Eucharistic Presence was the source of Geltrude's charity and the constant object of her meditations, which were often addressed to the mysteries of the Rosary: ​​"The first adoration began at the cave in Bethlehem. The Holy Virgin and Saint Joseph prostrated themselves for the first time before the Most Holy Humanity of the Incarnate Word". The fifth of ten children, seven of whom died in their infancy, Saint Geltrude was born in Bienno, a small town near Brescia [Northern Italy], and was baptised, on the day of her birth, with the name of Catherine. As she wrote in her diary, when she was five Jesus instilled in her heart, "a great desire to love Him much, and He kept teaching me what I had to do to please Him and be His own". The little girl often meditated on the sacrifice of Christ ("I'm thinking", she replied when asked what she was doing) and on the sense of sin, the horror of which she could perceive through her intimate union with God. At seven years old, in fact, she was told by her mother that it was time for her first Confession: "I was astonished, and replied that I had been going to Confession every Saturday for some time".

    October 21, 2018 Connect - Grow - Give 29th Sunday in Ordinary Time Pastor's Message Seven New Saints in Heaven Dear Brothers and Sisters, Greetings to you and your loved ones. Last Sunday, Pope Francis canonized seven holy men and women. The names and brief biographies of each of the new saints were presented to the Holy Father and to the thousands of people in St. Peter’s Square on Sunday, October 14th, 2018 by the Prefect of the Congregation for the Causes of Saints, Cardinal Giovanni Becciu. (The Information below is from the Vatican Website). Saint Óscar Romero (1917-1980): The archbishop of San Salvador, El Salvador, from 1977 until his martyrdom, Archbishop Romero was an outspoken opponent of the political strife and injustice in his country, although he did not support liberation theology. Ordained a priest in 1942, he studied in Rome and served for many years as a parish priest, as auxiliary bishop of San Salvador and as bishop of Santiago de María. He was murdered March 24, 1980, while saying Mass, and his assassins were never brought to justice. He was declared a martyr by Pope Francis in early 2015 and beatified in May 2015 in San Salvador before a crowd of more than 250,000 faithful. Saint Vincenzo Romano (1751-1831): Saint Vincenzo Romano spent almost his entire life as a parish priest in the area around his native Naples, Italy. Ordained a priest in 1775, he spent many years at the Church of Santa Croce in his hometown of Torre del Greco, where he was given the name “The Worker Priest” because of his inexhaustible labors on behalf of his flock, especially the poor.
