For many years a group of volunteers have made delicious
Christmas Cakes and the sale of these cakes have
supported the work of the F.C.J. Sisters in Romania. The
funds have provided scholarships for young people to
study at University. Also, funds go to the Philippines to
support families, who live near the rubbish dumps, to
educate primary, secondary and tertiary students.
Upon her retirement in 1994 Sister Margaret Mary Kennedy
F.J.C. was requested to go to eastern Europe to establish a
mission there. Sister Margaret Mary worked in Bucharest
for 10 years and was supported by funds from “Friends of
Romania” (See Obituary AGE 8/11/17).
To continue the support of this project CHRISTMAS CAKES

Over 40,00 years ago on the shores of
Lake Mungo (4 hours drive from
Mildura) a ritual burial took place that
was to be discovered by Dr. Jim Bowler
from the Australian National University.
Now the remains are being given due
respect and are being returned from the
University to the land where he was first
buried.
On Friday 17th November members of the mutthi mutthi tribe
have been entrusted with this sacred task.
The Christian Ritual for the occasion prays…
By his death and reappearance, Mungo Man has revealed to us
that deep spirit connection his people had with the earth. It is
repeated today with his Aboriginal Descendants In their
“Connection to Country”. In a striking example of death and the
emergence of Mungo Man, the spirit energies active in this
ritual challenge us to reflect on that other death and
resurrection 36,000 years later.
The nature and occasion of these two deaths were very
significant, although separated by time and place; those events
on the shores of Lake Mungo resonate with those in Jerusalem.
