Did you know?

Pope Leo the Great is most famous for his protection of the city of Rome during the invasions and collapse of the Empire in the 5th Century. Legend says that he met Attila the Hun himself at the gates of Rome and persuaded him to turn back instead of destroying the city.

Remembrance Day

At 11am on the 11th day of the 11th month each year we remember the moment in 1918 when World War I came to an end. On Remembrance Day, we remember Australian men and women who have served in war and peacekeeping activities. Remembrance Day does not glorify war – it honours the memory of all those who laid down their lives for Australia. As a mark of respect to those who have served, we stop to observe one minute’s silence.

We Pray:

On this day of Remembrance, we remember the courageous men and women who gave their lives in wartime and as a result of war. As we remember the lives that have been lost, let us promise each other to work for the freedom of all who are oppressed in the world today. We ask this prayer in the name of Jesus who taught us how to live. Amen.

WHY DO WE DO THAT?

St Jude lived during the first two centuries of Christianity and wrote a letter in the New Testament, however we don’t actually know much about him at all. He became the patron saint of hopeless cases after performing famous miracles. So when times are desperate, St Jude is the man you need for your hopeless causes.
