"... for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me."

Matthew 25:35-56

Project Lavalla

"The Spirit of the Lord has been given to me, for the Lord has anointed me. He has sent me to bring good news to the poor, to bind up hearts that are broken; to proclaim liberty to captives, freedom to those in prison; to proclaim a year of favour from the Lord."


MANY THANKS to all those who worked to make the Sausage Sizzle and Christmas Carols at Rockdale last weekend such a success. The sausage sizzle and extra collections raised $783.35 for the Lavalla School, run for the disabled by the Marist Brothers in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

St Joseph's school community at Rockdale raised a further $262.60 which is a wonderful effort. It means we can send over $1,000 to help the school.

If you wish to make a donation please talk to Fr Brendan.
