On Saturday, August 8, 1909, Mother Mary MacKillop died at North Sydney. Many celebrations of the centenary of her death were held last weekend.

We will have an opportunity to reflect on Mary’s life and how we can follow her spirit with a special gathering to be held in the Church on Monday, 7th September 10:30am, or 7:30pm.

We are delighted that Sister Margaret Paton RSJ, who has written extensively on Mary’s life, will lead our reflection on that day.

The presentation of donations received through the Parents and Friends of the Vincentian Fathers and Brothers in Australia and Fiji, known as“The Burse” will take place at St. Anthony’s Marsfield, on Sunday 13th of September commencing at 2:30pm.

The burse was formed some years ago to help educate men who wished to become Vincentian priests and Brothers and who could not afford their own education. New subscribers are now being sought and all that is required is an annual donation.

No one is asked to give beyond their means and any amount will be gratefully received. Ph: Lillie Furlong, Hon Sec 9797 6840 or see her in the foyer.
