Bottles for Binil. One of our parishioners, Binil Chacko, recently entered our Ezechiel House Novitiate in Sydney to begin his studies for the priesthood. The seminary tuition fee is $7,000/yr. In order to assist Binil with his fundraising we will be collecting empty bottles and cans for recycling. A container will be available outside the tearoom for you to leave your bottles/cans in and we will take them to the recycling depot and collect the proceeds for his tuition expenses. Thank you for your generosity.
Please remember our sick in your prayers, especially Pierre Bushell, Bill Mamo (Tina Marsh’s brother), Jane Carey, Kathryn Nader, Tony Caruso, Luise Obrist (Gaby Freer’s mother), and Vincenza Martucci (Ines Barson’s mother). Please remember also the re-cently deceased, especially Affifi Hanna Karam (Georges Karam’s mother), Leo Hender-son, Maurice Henderson, Ellen Nichols (née Henderson) and also those whose anniver-saries occur about this time, especially Anne Russell.
