Today is LMF Sunday. It is an initiative of the Catholic Archdiocese of Sydney, to be held annually on the Sunday prior to St John Paul II’s Feast Day (22 October), who introduced the Theology of the Body to the world. LMF Sunday has been celebrated as an Archdiocesan event in St Mary’s Cathedral to honour married couples celebrating major anniversaries. Parishes are now encouraged to take up the event locally to celebrate and animate the sacrament of marriage as a means of evangelisation and renewal. We will pray for married couples and bless them during Masses this Sunday. If any couples would like to explore how our Parish can develop resources for marriage in general and this event in particular, please contact me: fr.paul@cpasl.org.au.

Margot Afeaki and Rosa Quinn were acknowledged by Auxiliary Bishop Anthony Percy, on behalf of Archbishop Anthony Fisher OP, at the annual Catechists Mass in St Mary’s Cathedral last Sunday, 11 October for 20 years of continual ministry to Catholic children in the State Primary Schools in All Saints Parish. We congratulate Margo and Rosa and thank them for their wonderful contribution to the lives of so many children and their families. Please pray for them, their colleagues with whom they minister and for others to join them in their great work,
