As a new liturgical cycle begins, this first Sunday of Advent again reminds us that our lives are caught up in a cosmic drama and that history will end with the return of Christ and the redemption of humanity.

Conversation with Fr Jacob Zulu from Zambia
Some young Australians have already visited Zambia on an immersion for two weeks teaching children in the primary school. They recognise how poor but happy these children are.

Bulletin – Feast of Christ the King
The Kingdom of God is a time. It happens whenever someone feeds a hungry person, extends hospitality or cares for the neglected. It happens when injustice is challenged or violence averted, or the truth spoken – when people struggle to overcome poverty, erase ignorance, pass on the faith.

Fr Jorge Serrano Sj, a visitor from the Jesuit Curia in Rome came to St Canice’s today with Helen Forde of Jesuit Mission to get a first hand view of the many outreach activities in our parish. Fr Jorge says, “people want to be invited to be part of the mission of the Society of Jesus”.
Spiritual Conversation Series – Advent
The Spiritual Conversation Series will use 4 First Spiritual Exercises that were originally written by St Ignatius of Loyola and have been recently adapted by Michael Hansen SJ. The exercises provide an opportunity for participants to be still in their daily life and meditate on the great gift our place in this universe is.
Confirmation Sunday & Armistice Day
Before confirming the eight candidates, Bishop Terry spoke directly to the young people about the importance of the Sacrament they were about to receive. And, with his usual approachable style, all of us had much to learn from his words of encouragement
BULLETIN 11 NOV 2018
Today at the 10.30am Mass we welcome Gabrielle Austin, Ornella Fox, Matthew Frost, Isabella Grozos, Georgia Grozos, Henry Kidd, Siara Ortolani and Christian Robbins and their families, are to be confirmed by Bishop Terry Brady, whom we welcome to St Canice’s once again. Confirmation emphasises an individual’s commitment to Jesus; the Holy Spirit inspires the candidates to become witnesses to their faith.
Pausing to remember . . .
It is more than a hundred years since St Canice’s began seeing some of its community going off to war. We of the later generations have been presented daily with messages about the impact of that war and how the challenge was handled, through four striking windows in the transept of our church.
