Give everything you own to the poor, and follow me. Mark 10:17-30
Peter took this up. ‘What about us?’ he asked him. ‘We have left everything and followed you.’ Jesus said, ‘I tell you solemnly, there is no one who has left house, brothers, sisters, father, children or land for my sake and for the sake of the gospel who will not be repaid a hundred times over, houses, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and land – not without persecutions – now in this present time and, in the world to come, eternal life.’

Prayer to the Holy Spirit
Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful and enkindle in them the fire of your love.
Send forth your Spirit and they shall be created. And you shall renew the face of the earth.
Let us pray.
O God, who by the light of the Holy Spirit, did instruct the hearts of the faithful, grant us in the same Spirit to be truly wise and ever to rejoice in His consolation.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen.

This parish serves the Catholic community living in Shirley, Freemantle and beyond, as well as those who choose to make this church their spiritual home.
This community aspires to share and celebrate our faith in Jesus Christ with others; to offer the hand of friendship as a welcoming community; to see and respond to the suffering flesh of Christ near and far; and to sustain through the celebration of the Sacraments the shared purpose and common mind of this faith community.
