More than 300 people gathered to celebrate the Silver Jubilee of the Blessing of the Schoenstatt Shrine at Mt Richon on Sunday, 27 November, at a Mass celebrated by Perth Auxiliary Bishop, Don Sproxton.
“When I see the heavens, the work of your hands, and the moon and the stars which you arranged, who are we that you should keep us in mind – mere human beings that you care for us?”
Advent and Christmas mark the beginning of the new year in the Church’s calendar.
We come once again to our heart-warming Feast and celebration of Christmas.
In today’s troubled world, Christmas celebrates the first coming of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who, through the Holy Spirit is making such a difference to the lives of those who relate personally with him.
A visit to Bethlehem is naturally an essential part of any pilgrimage to Israel, to “Jesus’ country”.
An early summer scorcher and technical difficulties did not deter some 400 people from attending Mass to celebrate the Feast of the Immaculate Conception at St Mary’s Cathedral last week.
One of the key tenets of our faith is a belief in the Immaculate Conception, which establishes Mary as the unblemished, chosen Mother of Jesus, and which is celebrated on 8 December.
For many people, Christmas is a joyous time, when family and friends gather in the spirit of the season and to care for one another.
