St James Worthy Women at Retreat

Exemple

Luke 12:49 “I have come to set the earth on fire, and how I wish it were already ablaze with fiery passion for God!”

This was the theme for last weekend’s (07/08 Oct) retreat run by the MGL sisters. 12 of us attended the retreat which was held on the peaceful grounds of St. Pauls in Wantirna, which is where our priests, Fr Jude and John, had their seminary. We spent much time in reflection in the beautiful natural surroundings and sharing our stories. The weekend also involved small group activities facilitated by the MGL sisters.  There was time for daily masses, adoration, praise and worship, fellowship and wonderful key note speakers.

Our group really felt the Spirit moving in this space and we were so grateful to have a chance to leave the world behind and journey with each other for one purpose…growing in the Spirit.  Sr. Rosie Drum explained Jesus’ intention to set the earth on fire was a metaphor for us to live a life dedicated to God while spreading his message to everyone we meet.  By the end of the weekend we knew we were leaving with the ability to be “human candles,” shining the light of God for the whole world to see.  May we contribute to the life of the Parish and those we encounter to set the earth on fire with a passion for God!

With all the challenges that life brings with it, we know that Jesus walked this same earth showing us that peace is possible by remaining focused on him.  May we do our part to be the light of the world to all those we meet.

We look forward to other opportunities where we as Parishioners can grow in our faith.

Worthy Women Ministry

In 2020 we launched the Worthy Women ministry through the initiative and leadership of Monique Mei.  Her leadership and pastoral outreach to women in our community has enabled a safe place for women to share their lives and encounter Christ more deeply.

As Monique steps down from her leadership role, we thank her for her generosity, vision, deep faith and love for this ministry.

We welcome Amanda Caesar as the new coordinator of this ministry.

If you are a woman aged 18+ and would like to harness meaningful conversation, seek answers through scripture, share life experiences and create a sisterhood of faith-filled women, please contact the Parish Office on 9401 6367 for more information on how to join this group.
