A big thank you to all who contributed to the success of the Holy Spirit Vincentia Spring Fair.

'Cycle against the Traffik' is a Catholic organisation that aims to raise awareness of modern slavery and human trafficking via a cycle ride from Sydney to Melbourne.  Participants ride into Nowra on Saturday, 4 September, and stay overnight at the Berry Convent.  Any funds raised through the tour will help support a shelter in Malaysia for women and children rescued from slavery.  For more information on how to become involved visit the website www.cycleagainstthetraffik.com

Feastday: Wed 8 Sept, Birth of the Virgin Mary.

St Vincent de Paul Society. '...I commissioned you to go out and bear fruit, fruit that will last - what I command you is to love one another,' John 15:16-17.  Certainly the Nowra Sacred Heart Care Conference members carry this out with their social visits to people in need of companionship and love.  However, numbers are few - a lot more could be achieved if membership could be increased.  Please think about it, and if remotely interested, ring 4421 8565 for more information.

We prayerfully remember: Terry Power (Orient Point), Vincent Ryan (Vincentia), and Bishop Patirck Dougherty (Bathurst) who died recently; also Christopher Delaney, Marie Leslie, William Bruce and Emilia Labrador whose anniversaries occur. May they rest in eternal peace.
