Year of Grace
Be Patient
Tuning in takes time and practice. When you get distracted or lose confidence, just return to your breathing and keep going. The saints say there is no spiritual growth without trials.
NB: St Patricks Cathedral in Ballarat has a rich heritage in its stained glass windows. You are invited to stay and watch a visual tour of the story of Jesus told through these beautiful windows following Masses this weekend. The presentation was prepared by Fr Gary Jones for the Year of Grace. St Vincent de Paul: St Josephs Conference of St Vincent de Paul Society will celebrate 70 years of service in Warrnambool on Sunday, 15th July commencing with the 10.30am Mass. Past and present members, along with family and friends, are invited to celebrate this magnificent achievement. Of Historical Significance: From Warrnambool correspondent, Richard Osburne: Several new buildings are in course of erection and when finished will be a credit to the town.
