ANNIVERSARY

Unfortunately, because of the current restrictions, the Mass on the 14th of August, to celebrate the 100 year anniversary of the first Mass celebrated here in Altona by Very Rev John Barry (Administrator of St Patrick's Cathedral), will be replaced with a Mass to mark the 101st anniversary on Saturday, 13^th of August, 2022. We will endeavour to get Archbishop Peter Comensoli to be the celebrant of our 6 p.m. Mass on that day.

Message from Archpriest Michael Kalka

This is a difficult and complex time for each and every one of us. However as people of faith we need to keep our eyes always focused on Jesus who guides us through all the events of our daily living. Please remember to pray for one another and please remember to care for one another. May you be able to find joy and peace in the Risen Lord Jesus.
Stay well; stay safe and God Bless,
Archpriest Michael Kalka

30th Sunday in Ordinary Time

“And Jesus said to him, ‘Go your way; your faith has made you well.’ And immediately he received his sight and followed him on the way.” (Mark 10:52)

Faith is believing in something even though you may not be able to physically see it. Many people think that miracles don’t happen anymore. This is hard, but try to focus on the positive and not the negative things in your life. When you focus on your blessings instead of your hardships, miracles will seem common. You will see God’s active presence in your daily life. You will begin to develop an attitude of gratitude.

Spiritual Communion

MY JESUS, I believe that you are in the Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things and I long for You in my soul. Since I cannot now receive You Sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. As though You have already come, I embrace You and unite myself entirely to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.
