Saint Scholastica—February 10th
When will it be day?….
Job, in this dramatic poem is in a dark depression. His life
seems drudgery: dull, hopeless, without purpose and short.
Sometimes we all feel like that. But God is the restorer. He
heals our broken hearts. Creator of the serene and orderly
stars, he is all-powerful, all-understanding. We can find joy
in forgetting ourselves, as Paul did, spreading the gospel.
Christ, our master, was at the beck and call of all; preaching, healing, finding time to pray only during the night. May
he lift up our littleness and give us his joy.

Welcome to Kenilworth
Last Saturday was the feast of St John Bosco, the Patron Saint of the Kenilworth
Catholic Church. From March 15th St Joseph's Parish will have pastoral responsibility for that Church. For the past 30 years Kenilworth has been looked after
by Caloundra Parish. As Caloundra Parish is trying to make the best use of the
available priests, we have been asked to take over. Originally, the people of the
Mary Valley were cared for by the priest from Gympie visiting the various communities on horseback. Kenilworth became part of the new Parish of Nambour
1921 until 1984. St John Bosco Church was built in 1938 when Fr Edward Doody (later Bishop of Armidale) was Parish Priest in Nambour.
Parish Secretary:
Cecilia Denny
Admin. Assistant:
Julia Quinn
Music Co-ordinator:
Darlene Malone
Finance Manager:
Michael Randall
Consequently, we will be providing Mass at Kenilworth on the third Sunday of
each month at 11am. This will mean that I will have to leave Nambour immediately after Mass on those Sundays. I ask that you consider who will take care of
ensuring that the Church and Centre are closed after everyone leaves.

So we welcome the Catholic community of Kenilworth back into the life of St
Joseph's Parish and we will endeavour to support them as best we can. They
have a long history of maintaining both the Church building and the community
itself when there was no Mass there.
Fr Graham
The Opening Mass for St Joseph’s Primary School on Friday as well as Mass
at St John’s on Thursday was a most
Spiritual way to commence the School
year. Each mass had investitures with
School Leaders and all staff were blessed
for their year ahead.
We welcome Marg & Bill, the students
and teachers, particularly those new to
the Community and look forward to a
faith filled 2015.

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, let us turn to the Lord and
pray that He will continue to bless your marriages with His grace.
Father, look with tenderness upon your daughters gathered here;
give them love, grace and peace. May they always follow the
example of the holy women whose praises are sung in the scriptures.
Bless your sons gathered in your name; may they always have the
strength and compassion which comes from the Gospel.
Together, may each couple continue to both praise you in their gladness and turn to you in their troubles so that
you may fill them with the joy of salvation. Keep them faithful in their marriages, and let them be living examples of
Christian love.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.

Movers & Shakers is a week-long Christian Leadership training program for young people aged 16-19.
It is organised and sponsored by the Queensland Catholic Diocesan Youth Coordinators.
Movers and Shakers has been running for 20 years and in that time it has developed into a key strategy in the development of young leaders within the Catholic Church in Queensland and beyond. It plays
an important role in youth ministry training as it addresses the Christian leadership training needs of
many parishes and schools. Over a thousand young people have come through the program developing leadership skills and building confidence to use back in their parishes, schools and communities.
The Parish has a policy to support young people who wish to take part.
Please see the Movers and Shakers site for details of the week:
www.moversandshakers.org.au
