HOLY COMMUNION
With the prospect of another month in lockdown I invite parishioners to indicate, by email to the Parish charnwood@cg.org.au, if they would like to come to the Church and collect the Eucharist in order that they may receive Holy Communion at least once a week whilst they may be watching on-line masses. Thank you to those who have indicated they wish to come. At this stage collection of the Eucharist will be every Wednesday during office hours. If there are more people wanting to participate we will look at another day.

POPE FRANCIS’ PRAYER TO ST JOSEPH
Hail, guardian of the Redeemer,
Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary
To you God entrusted His only Son;
In you Mary placed her trust;
With you Christ became a man.
Blessed Joseph, to us too, show yourself
a father and guide us in the path of life.
Obtain for us grace, mercy and courage, and defend us from every evil. Amen.
