25 th June, 2017 LITURGICAL COLOURS With the completion of the Easter Season and then the Solemnities of the Holy Trinity and Corpus Christi, the Church’s Liturgical Season returns to the Sundays and Weekdays in
The Liturgical Colour for this season is Green. With regards to Liturgical Colours I quote from the resource “Universalis” “In the earliest centuries all vestments were white-the white of baptismal purity and of the robes worn by the armies of the redeemed in the Apocalypse, washed white in the blood of the Lamb. White is the colour of heaven. Liturgically, it is used to celebrate feasts of the Lord, Christmas and Easter, the great seasons of the Lord and the saints. As the Church grew secure enough to be able to plan her liturgy, she began to use colour so that our sense of sight could deepen our experience of the mysteries of salvation, just as incense recruits our sense of smell and music that of hearing. Over the centuries various schemes of colour for feasts and season were worked out, and it is only as late as the 19 th century that they were harmonized into their present form.” Now in Ordinary Time the colour is Green, a sign of life in nature and as such it represents growth, life and hope. It symbolizes the graces that draw people into the life of God.
At Masses in Mount Gambier this weekend there will be a leaving collection for the Holy Father’s Appeal. Money raised will go towards the worldwide development work and works of charity conducted by our Holy Father, Pope Francis. In Millicent, this Sunday there will be a leaving collection for the St Vincent de Paul’s
be next weekend.
This weekend Mgr Robert Egar will be celebrating Masses for us in Mount Gambier and
him your support. I’ll be celebrating Masses in Bordertown, Keith and Kingston. Just a reminder of the fortnightly Youth Mass at St Paul’s this Sunday night at 5pm.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------- Psalm Response: Lord, in your great love, answer me.
Alleluia, alleluia! The Spirit of Truth will bear witness to me, says the Lord, and you also will be my witnesses. Alleluia!
Jesus instructed the Twelve as follows: 'Do not be afraid. For everything that is now covered will be uncovered, and everything now hidden will be made clear. What I say to you in the dark, tell in the daylight; what you hear in whispers, proclaim from the house-tops. 'Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; fear him rather who can destroy both body and soul in hell. Can you not buy two sparrows for a penny? And yet not one falls to the ground without your Father knowing. Why, every hair on your head has been counted. So there is no need to be afraid; you are worth more than hundreds of sparrows. 'So if anyone declares himself for me in the presence of men, I will declare myself for him in the presence of my Father in heaven. But the one who disowns me in the presence of men, I will disown in the presence of my Father in heaven.' The Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

On Wednesday last week the Year 8’s held their annual retreat day at Casadio Park. The focus of the day was the Fruits of the Holy Spirit and this was closely connected with the themes from World Refugee Week which was also celebrated last week. Sr Elizabeth Young RSM attended the day as a guest speaker and group leader. Sr Elizabeth shared many stories from her ministry as a Sister of Mercy and some of the ways she sees the Fruits of the Spirit reflected in the people she meets in the detention centres. Students and staff had a wonderful day and look forward to continuing some of the conversations from the day in their RE lessons back at TWC.

We all look forward to hearing from the group on their return from Timor Leste. Michelle Coote|APRIM, Assistant Principal Religious Identity & Mission

families who are Catholic, and have yet to have children baptised, please see me at the school. It is never too late! You are very welcome to come and discuss the process and we will make a time to meet with either Fr Dean or Fr Michael. From time to time, there are families whose children are baptised in another faith tradition and who would like to be formally initiated into the Catholic Church. If that is something you have wondered about, again, please see me at the school when it suits you. Families may come along and join us at Mass at 9.00 a.m. Sunday morning. Marcus will be there. This Sunday, I am away so will be an apology. Thank you. ST ANTHONY RELIC During this past week, a relic of St Anthony of Padua has been in Adelaide, at St Joseph’s Payneham. The relic is on tour nationally: it is a fragment of a rib bone which is encased in a reliquary: This relic travels the world and represents a connection of love between the person who venerates it and the life of St Anthony. Perhaps, one day, it will visit Millicent! Ali Noonan, Assistant Principal [Religious Identity & Mission]
