The Archdiocese is currently organising a special luncheon for former choir boys of St Mary’s Cathedral, scheduled to take place on Sunday, 2nd March 2025. This will also give ex choristers an opportunity to join a new Choristers Alumni Network and be kept abreast of exciting new developments, such as the launch of the Girls’ Choir next year.
We would appreciate parishes promoting this special event, by including the attached advert in your parish newsletters – in whatever size of format is suitable – as often as possible, in the coming months. Obviously, with Christmas upon us, there will be limited space available, but the event will be in March next year, so there will be time even after Christmas for this event to be promoted.
Some of your parishioners may well be former Choir boys of St Mary’s Cathedral, or maybe even have friends or family members who are ex Choristers. So, this event is highly relevant to them.
RSVP date of 21st February

Artes Christi - Aid to the Church in Need - Lenten Fundraising Concert
I'm writing to you from Artes Christi to ask if you would be able to advertise an upcoming Lenten concert raising money for Aid to the Church in Need (the pontifical charity) in your bulletin. In 2024 we hosted several event raising funds for Aid to the Church in Need raising just over $20,000, the hope is this year we can do more, particularly with the amount of global conflict creating further need to support suffering and persecuted Christians.
If you would be able to let me know if this was possible that would be appreciated. Ideally, we would love to have a couple of weeks in the bulletins to maximise the chances of supporting Aid to the Church in Need.

October 13, 1917, Our Lady performed a miracle – the ‘Miracle of the Sun’, which was witnessed by 70 000 people, including atheists, communists and anti-Catholics. Many converted. Here are the five reasons for a Public Rosary:Powerful - “Public prayer is more powerful than private prayer to appease the anger of God and call down His mercy, and the Church, guided by the Holy Spirit, has always advocated it in times of disasters and general distress.” - Saint Louis de Montfort.Public Witness - The Public Rosary is a great way to witness the Catholic faith. Your public witness will inspire other Catholics to persevere in their faith and demonstrate the faith to non-Catholics.Public Reparation - Nowadays sin is openly flaunted. Public sins require public reparation. Your Public Rosary becomes an act of reparation for these sins hurled against the Immaculate Heart of Mary and the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus.Evangelisation - Many families no longer know how to pray the Rosary or even know the many benefits of praying the Rosary. Praying the Rosary in public is a great opportunity to share the faith and meet new people.Multiple Graces - “Somebody who says his Rosary alone only gains the merit of one Rosary, but if he says it together with thirty other people, he gains the merit of thirty Rosaries. This is the law of public prayer. How profitable, how advantageous this is!” - Saint Louis de Montfort.Rosary and prayers on Zoom every 13th monthly at 7 pm. Zoom Wednesday weekly at 7 pm Praying the Rosary, including the Litany to St Joseph, and The Divine Mercy Chaplet. All are welcome.Australia Needs Fatima Website is very informative for those wanting to learn more about Our Lady of Fatima. Website: www.fatima.org.au---Catholic Men’s Fellowship
