LADIES OF OUR PARISH – ALTAR SOCIETY
We have a small band of Ladies who every week see that the Altar of Our Lord is always fresh and clean. We make sure that the Brass is gleaming, Holy Water Fonts are sparkling and have fresh Holy Water, that Altar Linen is clean and pressed and in Ordinary Time, make sure that there are a few flowers around. We are seeking some more assistance. "Would you like to help?" It takes approx. 1-1/2 hours about every 8 weeks or so, on a roster system. If you would like to help or know more about this service, please ring Bernice on 9749-2812.

THE FIVE LOVE LANGUAGES: MARRIAGE ENRICHMENT SEMINAR
Sunday 16 October, 9am–5pm - Cardinal Knox Centre, 383 Albert Street, East Melbourne.
This marriage enrichment seminar is based on The five love languages, the international bestseller by Dr Gary Chapman, which has sold more than 10 million copies worldwide. We all express and experience love differently. The five love languages is a tool that helps men and women understand ways to express and experience love. Many of us need help recognising our own and our spouse’s primary love language. Speaking the right love language can make all the difference, especially in a marriage! Deb and Paul Cochran will be the main presenters for the day. They have been married for 28 years and involved in marriage ministry for 18 years. Cost: $35
