How does it work? Over 11 weeks, people experience good food, a short talk, discussion and the opportunity to share their thoughts. No pressure, no follow up.
How much does it cost? There is no charge.

Lent begins on Ash Wednesday 6th March.
Make this Lent different and commit to putting aside 11/2 hours a week to prepare your mind and heart for the season which is the reason for our faith and the reason why we come each week to Mass.
Please see the board in the foyer for information on the small Lenten Reflection groups running once a week from the week of Ash Wednesday for 6 sessions and register your interest.
We are also looking for people who would like to offer their homes as a gathering place for small groups to share in this wonderful program and to journey through the 40 days of Lent together. Invite family or friends to join you Please contact Billie at the parish office if you can host a group in this way – 9276 8500.
This booklet with short personal daily reflections is also suitable for those who cannot attend a group. Cost $10—from Piety Stall or parish office.

Today’s Gospel and Australia Day
In the readings of the Gospel sometimes there are a few verses skipped, or sometimes even a passage. However, in today’s Gospel we go from the Prologue to Luke’s Gospel (Lk:1.1-4) and the Acts of the Apostles (they are Part A and Part B of one work) to Lk:4 12-21. This is a full four chapters later. The Prologue tells us why Luke wrote: to confirm Gentile believers in their faith by giving them a strong sense of identity. In Chapter 4 Jesus begins his public ministry in the synagogue of his home town. He tells us why he has come: to set people free, as in the sabbatical year when all debts were to be cancelled (Cf.
