Blessed are those who hear the word of God and obey it!

Greetings Tranmere community
So the Government’s Budget has been analysed and so has the Opposition’s Response.
Have you thought about it?

Sursum Corda!

Your Thoughts

Our Parish Website has also changed a lot.
Do you check it out every week?
Please do share your thoughts. [anonymously if you like]
If you search for - https://www.stjosephsparishtranmere.org.au/  you don’t get the Home page. Instead there is a message saying NOTHING FOUND.
If you then click the Home tag you will be able to access the current Bulletin and information about services. – A very unwelcoming page with much empty space!

Ø  Sector warns ‘Budget failure’ will increase homelessness

Ø  American nun, Sr Joan Chittister wrote an article – “And Jesus wept: a good idea.”
“If we do not allow ourselves to face and feel pain, we run the risk of entombing ourselves in a plastic bubble where our lies about life shrink our hearts and limit our vision. It is not healthy, for instance, to say that massive poverty is sad but "normal." It is not right to say that sexism is unfortunate but "necessary." It is not human to say that war is miserable but "inevitable." It is not healthy to insist that our deep hurts and cutting disappointments and appalling losses and great personal mistakes do not exist. On the contrary. To weep tears of frustration about them may be to take our first real steps toward honesty, toward mental health, toward a life that is worth living. Not a hoax and not fake news.”   Read the article

Ø  Why is retail therapy allowed when spiritual therapy Is not? - CathNews

The Parish Choir members are saying ‘Hello’.
