Somewhere on one of those sacred roads, Our Lord seems to be waiting to offer His graces to each of us in the most surprising places. The Harvest team have been dedicated for more than three decades doing nothing else but recreating these powerful opportunities of faith renewal.

Fellowship and friendship Every pilgrim is seeking something. We might not know what it is or how to articulate it, but the desire to find it is universal. St Augustine puts it so well when he says, “Our hearts are restless until they rest in Thee.” While each journey is personal, the beauty of travelling on pilgrimage with a group is being able to search and discover together. Whether you’re travelling solo or with friends or family, pilgrimage offers you the chance to share the experience with like-minded companions.

Rotary International President Ron Burton has plenty of friends, but he’ll need them if his attempt at a unique Sydney world record is to be achieved in the lead­up to the Sydney Convention this year. Rotarians from all over the world will be among the 20,000 or so delegates to the International Convention, but before it begins, they will have the chance to be part of a spectacular world record currently held by none other than Oprah Winfrey herself. In doing so, those same Rotarians will be supporting an innovative fundraising effort in aid of The Rotary Foundation’s polio eradication campaign. “The challenge is there for Rotarians attending their International Convention to set new world records for the number of flags from different nations on the bridge at one time, and for the number of people on the bridge at one time,” said the CEO of convention partner Bridgeclimb, Todd BridgeClimb Public Relations Executive Charli Beale, RDU Executive Director Bob Aitken and RDU Digital Production and Coates.

  • Dolores Grogan, OCDS (1927-2017)
    Dolores Grogan, OCDS (1927-2017) “Your light must shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your heavenly Father.” Matthew 5:16 A bright light of Carmel has gone to the Lord: Dolores Grogan, OCDS passed away on February 25, 2017 in Turlock, California. She was 89. Dolores Rita McNail was born in St. Louis on May 27, 1927. In 1948 Dolores married Frank Grogan, and they were married for fifty-three years. Frank and Dolores had six children: Donald, Ronald, Fran (deceased in 1997), Mary, Rose, and Dori Ann. Dolores had numerous grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great-great-grandchildren. At one time six generations of her family were living. Dolores always had a strong faith and a great love for Our Lady and St. Thérèse. In St. Louis she joined the Lay Carmelites (TOCarm). She used to tell a funny story about how she came to meet the Discalced Carmelites: She heard about a public novena to the Holy Face at the Carmelite Nuns’ Monastery. She took the bus there, but got off the bus much too soon. She had to walk the rest of the way on a country road in high heels! She arrived exhausted after the novena service was over, but she met an extern Carmelite nun and learned about the Third Order Discalced Carmelites, whom she resolved to join. In 1954 Dolores and her family moved from St. Louis to Albuquerque, where they lived for ten months. In 1955 they moved to San Jose and then in 1959 to Santa Clara.

  • Highlights from NSW Government Agencies and Local Councils the Principles of Multiculturalism in Practice – Highlights from NSW Government Agencies and Local Councils
    2 SECTION The Diversity Dividend Fire & Rescue NSW Harmony Day 2011 Principles of Multiculturalism in practice - highlights from NSW Government agencies and local councils The Principles of Multiculturalism in practice – highlights from NSW Government agencies and local councils The depth and breadth of the cultural, linguistic and religious diversity in New South Wales compels us to find mechanisms for maintaining community harmony and social cohesion. The Principles of Multiculturalism, outlined in section 3 of the Community Relations Commission and Principles of Multiculturalism Act 2000 (the Act), provide the conceptual core around which all of the objectives and functions of the Community Relations Commission revolve. The Principles articulate the values of multiculturalism as the policy of the state of New South Wales (s.3(3)), to apply to every individual and group residing in New South Wales. However, the legislation places the responsibility for observing and upholding those values on the chief executive officer of every government agency (s.3(5)). This section of the Act was amended in 2010 to bring greater clarity to the positioning of multiculturalism in New South Wales, and to highlight the fact that the policy is not about maintaining separate identities in a shared space, but about making a common commitment to the broader values of the Australian system of governance. In New South Wales, multiculturalism is founded on the following principles (the ‘Principles of Multiculturalism’): (a) the people of New South Wales are of different linguistic, religious, racial and ethnic backgrounds who, either individually or in community with other members of their respective groups, are free to profess, practise and maintain their own linguistic, religious, racial and ethnic heritage This principle commonly finds expression through the celebration of cultural or religious events.

The History attributed to Abu Salih the Armenian is here edited for the first time, by the kind permission of the Minister of Public Instruction and of the Administrator of the National Library in Paris, from the unique MS. purchased by Vansleb in Egypt in the seven- teenth century, and now preserved in that Institution. The present edition is based upon a copy made by the editor from the original, which he afterwards had the advantage of comparing with another copy most liberally placed at his disposal by M. l'Abbe Hyvernat, together with the results of a collation by Professor Ignazio Guidi. To these eminent scholars, therefore, the editor begs to express his deepest gratitude. Professor Margoliouth has also had the goodness to look through both the copy of the text and the translation, and to elucidate many points of difficulty.
