TwentyThird Sunday - Year C - "In every age, O Lord, you have been our refuge."
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.

'Please continue to pray for our Diocese as this process moves forward, that the future we plan will be the future God promises us'. (Bishop Peter Ingham). 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.
