You may be aware that the English translation of the Roman Missal - the prayers and texts which we use during Mass - is undergoing revision. No doubt we shall be introducing the changes in a gradual manner in parishes; however, if you would like to take a look at what is to come, the US Catholic Bishops Conference has a very good web site up which goes through the new translation. The address is http://www.usccb.org/romanmissal/

After years of negative coverage, is it not good to read something positive about Australia’s refugee policy in the world press. It gives one cause to hope that we are recovering something of a humanitarian tradition. Click here.

The Solemnity is a holyday of obligation. Yes, days of obligation still do exist! In Australia besides the Sunday obligation, Catholics are obliged to attend Mass on the feasts of the Assumption and Christmas. This year the Assumption falls on a Saturday. Thus, we are obliged to attend Mass on Saturday and Sunday. However, if you do attend the Saturday Vigil Mass you will fulfil both obligations. To speak in terms of obligation may seem a reductive approach to the great mystery which we celebrate and in which we participate, but being frail human beings, the obligation helps us - it calls us to celebrate important aspects of our faith and Catholic identity.

On Sunday 16 August and 23 August there will not be an evening Mass at Santa Maria. The boarders will be attending Saturday evening Mass in the parish on 15 August in order to fulfil the holyday obligation. And the next weekend is a boarders’ long weekend. Sunday evening Mass will resume on 30 August.
