OUR CHURCHES AS SANCTUARIES RON ROLHEISER, OMI
Unfortunately, our churches have not always provided that same kind of sanctuary (safety and shelter) to those who are refugees, immigrants, and homeless in their relationship to God and our churches.
There are millions of persons who are looking for a safe harbor in terms of sorting out their faith and their relationship to the church.
Our churches are often harbors only for persons who are already safe, already comforted, already church-observing, already solid ecclesial citizens.
That was hardly the situation within Jesus’ own ministry. He was a safe sanctuary for everyone, religious and non-religious alike. While he didn’t ignore the committed religious persons around him (the Scribes and Pharisees) his ministry always reached out and included those whose religious practice was weak or non-existent.
Moreover, he reached out especially to those whose moral lives where not in formal harmony with the religious practices of the time - those deemed as sinners.
Significantly too he did not ask for repentance from those deemed as sinners before he sat down at table with them. He set out no moral or ecclesial conditions as a prerequisite to meet or dine with him. Many repented after meeting and dining with him, but that repentance was never a pre-condition. In his person and in his ministry, Jesus did not discriminate. He offered a safe sanctuary for everyone.
We need today in our churches to challenge ourselves on this. We all need to ask ourselves: Are our churches places of sanctuary for those who are refugees, homeless, and poor ecclesially?
Do our pastoral practices mirror Jesus? Is our embrace as wide as that of Jesus?

‘The St. Mary of the Angels’ Parish acknowledges the traditional owners of the lands we
worship upon today and pay our respects to the Elders past, present and emerging for
they hold the memories, the traditions, the culture and hopes of Aboriginal and Torres
Strait Islander peoples’.
More and more older Australians are living in
poverty.
When older Australians struggle to make ends meet, they are often doing so alone, without social support. After her husband died a decade ago, 73-year-old Ruby found herself living alone, barely able to pay for food, or cover the rent. Like many older Australians living in poverty, Ruby felt forgotten
Loneliness is more than a feeling, it's a danger.
When you live alone, away from friends and family, poverty can be dangerous. Loneliness has been linked with high rates of diabetes, heart disease and stroke. And often, shorter life expectancy*. Older Australians, are among the most at risk of loneliness. Their shrinking social circle, increased physical limitations and financial hardship only increases the risks they face.
You can change the way poverty feels.
By supporting Vinnies, you will help provide vital assistance to older Australians to remove some of the stress of living in poverty. Thanks to donations from people like you, we've been able to help with the essentials to take the pressure off making ends meet.
Please give today! Vinnies Winter Appeal

FAREWELL LETTER FROM SISTER KASPER
Greetings and peace.
As you are all aware of my transition and my days are coming closer.
The past five years are so significant to me since this has been my first overseas and
ministry experience soon after my perpetual vows and higher studies. All these
ministries here (aboriginal ministry, prison ministry and pastoral ministry) helped me to
grow in many ways. I'm very sure all my learnings here will certainly create a platform to
execute wherever I would be in future. And I'm so pleased that there is so much to take
it with me.
Your love, care, prayers, blessings, encouragement, appreciation, guidance, and
support specially during the challenges we met, was incredible. That made me feel
more confident to continue my ministry here. Kindly keep me and my family in your
prayers. Once again, a very big thanks to you all! Peace!
With love and prayers Sr. Kaspar Mary

Praying with Mary MacKillop
For Joe Perone
Ever generous God, You inspired Mary MacKillop to live her life faithful to the Gospel of Jesus Christ
and to be constant in bringing hope and encouragement to those who were disheartened, lonely or needy. With confidence in Your generous providence and joining with Saint Mary MacKillop
we ask that You grant our request for healing for Joe Perone who is suffering from cancer (lymphoma) We ask that our faith and hope be fired afresh by the Holy Spirit so that we too,
like Mary MacKillop, may live with courage, trust and openness. Ever generous God hear our prayer.
We ask this through Jesus Christ. Amen
