Christ, our rescue when we stray. 3. Christ, our shelter,

Christ our friend, Our beginning and our end.

Our redeemer and our Lord.

COMMUNION (CWB 853)

Wake ,Awake! For Night is Flying

Zion hears the watchmen singing,

and all her heart with joy is springing;

she wakes, she rises from her gloom;

for her Lord comes down all glorious;

the strong in grace, in truth victorious;

her star is ris’n, her light is come.

Now come, O blessed one,

God’s own beloved Son; alleluia!

We follow to the festal hall to sup with you,

the Lord of all.

Now let earth and heav’n adore you,

as saints and angels sing before you

with harp and cymbal’s joyful tone;

of one pearl each shining portal,

where we join with the choirs immortal of angels

round your dazzling throne.

No eye has seen, nor ear is yet attuned

to hear such great glory; alleluia,

as here we sing our praise to you,

eternal King!

RECESSIONAL HYMN (CWB 857) We Stand For God 1. We stand for God! and for his glory; the Lord supreme and God of all.

Against his foes, we raise his standard; around the Cross we hear his call.

Refrain: Strengthen our faith, Redeemer, guard us when danger is nigh; to you we pledge our lives and service; for God we live, for God we’ll die, to you we pledge our lives and service for God we live, for God we’ll die. 2. We stand for God! Jesus our Master

has died to save with love untold; his law divine and truth unchanging in this our land their place must hold. Refrain 3. We stand for God! Let us be loyal! Our love proclaim with ev’ry breath! To Christ the King and Lord of Lords, we will be faithful unto death. Refrain

Stewardship Reflections: “For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be.” (Luke 12:34)

Jesus encourages us to build up our treasure in heaven. The world encourages us to build up our treasure in real estate, investments, and material goods. How much time are you investing in building up a worldly treasure? How much time are you investing in building up a heavenly treasure? To invest more time in the things of heaven, you must let go of some of the things of this world.

Australian Catholic Youth Festival will be held in Perth in December this year. Young people from year 9 - age 30 are invited. The parish will provide sponsorship. We are also looking to form a Parish Youth Council, to support Emily, our youth

worker, and to offer advice and support for parish youth initiatives. If you are interested, please contact the parish (Moreland@cam.org.au) or see one of the priests.

From Our Social Justice Group Our Parish Social Justice Group meets monthly to look at ways we can put the following principles of the Catholic Social Teaching into practice in our parish and our broader community.

One of the principles is Stewardship of Creation: The goods of the earth are gifts from God, and they are intended by God for the benefit of everyone. There is a “social mortgage” that guides our use of the world’s goods, and we have a responsibility to care for these goods as stewards and trustees, not as mere consumers and users. How we treat the environment is a measure of our stewardship, a sign of our respect for the Creator. We must all respect, care for and share the resources of the earth, which are vital for the common good of people. Care for animals and the environment is a common and universal duty, and ecological problems call for a change of mentality and the adoption of new lifestyles.

The next Social Justice Group meeting is 7:30pm, 22nd August in the Fr. Fitzpatrick Room. All are welcome.

Confirmation Candidates Today we welcome our young parishioners preparing for the Sacrament of Confirmation.

This weekend they will receive a card of Divine Mercy for their Spiritual Passport as a sign of their preparation for the Sacrament.

Faith Friends on the boards at the back of the church are pictures of our students preparing for Confirmation on 16th August. You are invited to write your name on the sheets as a promise to pray for them during this time of preparation.

Changes to daily Masses: Thursday 15 August, The Solemnity of the Assumption, the

morning Mass will be at 9.15am (not 8am) with the school community. The Solemnity of the Assumption is a Holy Day of Obligation. There will also be Mass at 7.30pm in the evening.

THANK YOU to those who have volunteered to assist on a roster as sacristans for some weekend Masses. This is a great help and service to the parish and the priests. We are still in need of a couple of more volunteers for Sunday morning and some weekdays. Please see one of the priests if you can help out..

Note: This weekend I will be at Corpus Christi College, our seminary in Carlton for a retreat for young men. Please keep us in your prayers. Fr David Cartwright

YOUTH GROUP “Light in the World” Grade 5 to Year 9’s students from St Fidelis Parish, we will have our next gathering Saturday 17th August at 6.30pm-8pm in School Hall. The NET Team from the Archdiocesan Office of Youth will be leading the session.

Please come join us.

children on Mondays after school during school term. For more information, contact emily.tam.music@gmail.com

Thank you Sincere thanks to the parish Social Committee who organised a

CHANGE OF TIME MONDAY ITALIAN PRAYER GROUP
