Catholic Parish of All Saints Liverpool News

Join us for the All Saints Parish Carols Prayer Service in the church, 7.30pm-9pm, this Thursday, 11 December. Carols led by our music ministries will be interspersed with prayers in the spirit of Advent. Supper will be served afterwards. Help us put “Attitude into Advent”.

Advent comes from the Latin advenio , “to come”. Like Lent, Advent is a “purple” season of waiting and preparing for God to enter history in the baby Jesus of Nazareth. It calls the faithful to quiet reflection, repentance and prayer. Expectation grows as the “Bethlehem Candle” for peace is lit this Sunday.

Masses at 7am and 9.15am will be offered this Monday, 8 December for the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Menka Marziano is received into the Catholic Church during 11am Mass this Sunday. We congratulate Menka and assure her of our support and prayers. Thank you to Pina Ber-nard for accompanying Menka.

Thank you to the Visayan community for hosting morning tea this Sunday after 11am Mass. We are grateful to groups who host morning tea. It is a great way of celebrating our communal life and reaching out to visitors or new parishioners. If any group would like to host a gather-ing, please contact the Parish Office: info@cpasl.org.au; 9753 6500. The Parish can assist with costs.

Come along and bring your friends to morning tea in Loreto Place this Thursday, 11 December after 9.15am Mass. It is our final one for the year. Thank you to all who make this event possible, especially Sr Anne Martin RSJ, Lorraine Esposito and the members of the Legion of Mary.
